Question
What paper finish works best for professional headshots?
Answer
The best finish depends on how the headshot will be used. Casting and editorial worlds have different expectations.
| Finish | Best for |
|---|---|
| Glossy | Acting and modeling headshots, vivid color and crisp detail |
| Matte | Corporate headshots, press kits, and editorial use, soft and glare-free |
- Glossy makes colors pop but can reflect under bright lights.
- Matte reads as more understated and is easier to view at an angle.
