Background type for a professional portrait session. How to choose?

Professional image with visual versatility

Which background matches your brand?

A professional portrait is no longer just a formality - it's a powerful visual communication tool. Whether for LinkedIn, your company website, or inclusion in promotional materials, the image you choose says a lot about you and your positioning.

But... what about the background? Often overlooked, the portrait's background is one of the most important elements for conveying the right message.

We adapt the environment so that your photography communicates exactly what you want — and this involves two very effective approaches:

1. Formal and sober – Classic gray background

Ideal for those looking to convey authority, confidence, and focus . The gray background is a timeless choice, used by leaders, CEOs, consultants, and professionals who want a neutral and elegant image. The absence of distractions ensures the focus is entirely on you—your gaze, posture, and presence.

When to use?

✔ Institutional profiles

✔ Formal presentations

✔ CVs and executive applications

2. Modern and dynamic – Office with blurred background and bokeh

If you're looking for a more accessible, creative, and contemporary image , this style is for you. The modern office background, slightly blurred with a bokeh effect, adds depth, context, and movement to the photo—without stealing the spotlight.

It's the perfect choice for those who want to look professional, but with a casual and contemporary touch.

When to use?

✔ Startups, tech and creative areas

✔ Authentic personal brand

✔ Digital content and social networks

So, which of these styles speaks to you the most?

Both styles have value — the choice depends on the message you want to convey and the audience you want to impact .

In our session, we'll help you decide which background is ideal for you and your professional goals. Because a good image isn't just pretty—it's strategic .
