WHAT IS A MEDICAL SCHOOL OR RESIDENCY HEADSHOT?
A medical school or residency headshot is a professional portrait, typically cropped from the chest up, that highlights your face with clarity and confidence. Unlike casual photos, these headshots are specifically designed for applications such as ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) and medical school admissions.
Your headshot communicates professionalism, reliability, and approachability—qualities program directors and admissions committees value. In fact, your photo is often seen before you meet in person, making it a critical part of your application.
A strong, polished image helps you stand out from other applicants and reinforces the professionalism reflected in your CV, personal statement, and recommendation letters.
At The Headshots Guy, we specialize in creating medical headshots that project confidence while maintaining authenticity. Sessions are available in our Baton Rouge studio or on location, and we ensure your final images meet the specific technical requirements for medical school and residency applications.

What Makes a Great Business Headshot?
At The Headshots Guy, we know that first impressions matter—especially in today’s digital world. A strong business headshot should follow these key principles:
Well-lit: Proper lighting enhances your features and ensures a clean, professional look.
Sharp and clear: The image should be crisp, never blurry or poorly cropped.
Well-framed: Your face should take up the majority of the frame, without being too close or too distant.
Approachable expression: A natural, confident look helps build trust and relatability.
Simple background: A clean, neutral backdrop keeps the focus on you, not distractions.
We specialize in creating professional headshots across Louisiana that reflect who you are and the message you want to send.
Tips for a Great Business Headshot
To get the most out of your headshot session, keep these simple tips in mind:
Keep your hair neat and well-groomed
Go easy on makeup and jewelry—less is more when aiming for a clean, professional look
Avoid bold patterns or stripes that can distract from your face
Choose a plain or neutral background to keep the focus on you
Stand with relaxed, confident posture—standing typically photographs better than sitting
Practice a range of expressions, from subtle smiles to strong, professional “Get Stuff Done” looks
