A Barrister Headshot at the Four Courts

The The Four Courts register

The Four Courts, the courts of Ireland, stand on the north quay of the river Liffey in Dublin: a Georgian block of grey granite under a shallow copper dome gone green, with a round hall beneath the dome where the barristers gather and the river running brown and quick past its steps. This pack puts the barrister at the courts. Grey granite, brown river and Dublin sky are held to values, and there is one hue, copper green.

She wears it as a bottle-green silk scarf with a black wool suit, and it is echoed once, in the dome above. She stands before a granite column of the colonnade with the portico's shadow soft behind her, stands under the round hall's dome with one hand on a leather folder on the patterned stone floor, and stands at the quay wall opposite with the granite block and green dome rising across the river. The light is soft and grey.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Four Courts. 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 barrister 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 dark, tailored topA dark top or jacket in your source photo carries into the black suit the pack dresses you in.
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 the Four Courts?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Four Courts. It is not a picture taken there.

Is it right for solicitors and in-house counsel?

Yes. It suits barristers, solicitors, attorneys and in-house counsel, for a chambers page, a firm profile or a speaker biography.

Will it look like a real photograph?

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

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.
