Black and white headshot examples
Two portraits our customers chose and shared, and the two monochrome looks on our style models. All made from everyday selfies.
Two monochrome looks
On white the portrait feels editorial and light; on charcoal it feels classic and dramatic, with the face carrying all the light.
Shown on our two style models so the backgrounds compare like for like.

When black and white is the right choice
Monochrome removes colour and leaves light, shape and expression. It flatters almost everyone – and it makes a statement, so use it where a statement fits.
Choose black and white when
- The portrait goes on a press page, a book jacket or a speaker bio. Classic, serious and it never dates.
- You want a consistent look across people. Monochrome hides differences in skin tone, clothing colour and lighting between portraits.
- Your personal brand is understated. Authors, architects, lawyers, founders and consultants wear it well.
- You want the flattering version. Black and white softens uneven skin tone and redness and emphasises eyes and bone structure.
Watch out for
- LinkedIn and team pages full of colour. A monochrome portrait stands out there – good if that is the point, odd if everyone else is in colour.
- Low contrast outfits. Mid-grey clothes on a grey-toned background flatten the image. Wear clear light or dark tones.
- Only ordering monochrome. Pick it as one of your backgrounds, not the only one, so you have colour portraits for the places that need them.

Selfie and outfit tips for black and white
- Wear a clear light or dark tone – a white shirt, a black knit, a dark blazer. Mid-greys flatten.
- Texture reads well in monochrome: a knit, a tweed jacket or a crisp collar.
- Your selfies should be in colour – we create the monochrome look.
