A Lawyer Headshot on Beacon Hill

The Violet Panes register

Beacon Hill in Boston is a hill of brick row houses lit by gas lamps, where a handful of windowpanes from the 1820s have turned violet over two hundred years of sun because of the manganese in the glass. The pack puts the attorney on the hill. The pair is the street's own, old brick red-brown and the amethyst of the violet panes at matched saturation with the brick dominant, and an amethyst wool coat over a black dress joins it.

She stands before a brick facade with a violet-paned window glowing faintly beside her, stands on the step of a black-doored row house with a hand on the iron railing and a gas lamp beside her, and stands on the brick sidewalk as a narrow cobbled lane runs steeply down between brick houses with the lamps lit in the afternoon. The light is soft overcast light from the narrow street. The mood is a woman wearing the one colour her street is famous for.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Beacon Hill in Boston. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a lawyer headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A composed, direct lookAn attorney's portrait should read as someone who is prepared. A level, confident expression in your source photo carries over best.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken at Beacon Hill in Boston?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Beacon Hill in Boston. It is not a picture taken there.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of Beacon Hill in Boston, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for lawyers and legal professionals?

Yes. It suits attorneys, partners, paralegals, judges and legal consultants, for a firm page, a bar directory, a conference bio or a professional profile.

Why amethyst and brick?

The street is red-brown brick, and the violet panes are its rare second colour. A coat in that amethyst gives the portrait a single, memorable accent.
