An Insurance Broker Headshot in the Painted Market

The Painted Market register

Leadenhall Market, in the heart of the City of London, is a covered Victorian market: a cross of arcades under a glass roof held on cast-iron columns painted maroon, cream, green and gold, cobbles underfoot, the insurance towers of the City rising just outside its arches. The pack puts the broker in the painted market. The palette is stated and held: maroon, cream, bottle green and gilt.

She stands under the arcade with the maroon and cream columns soft behind her and a gilt capital catching light, leans lightly against a maroon column with one hand on its cold iron and bottle-green shopfronts behind, and stands on the cobbles at the crossing as the long arcade runs away under its glass roof to a sliver of glass tower. The light is warm from above through the glass.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Leadenhall Market. 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 insurance broker 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 calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into every frame of the pack.
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 Leadenhall Market?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Leadenhall Market. 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 Leadenhall Market, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for insurance brokers, underwriters, financial advisers and finance professionals?

Yes. It suits insurance brokers, underwriters, financial advisers and finance professionals, for a firm's team page, a broker directory, a conference programme or a profile picture.

Why maroon and cream?

The market's iron is painted maroon, cream, bottle green and gilt. The sitter wears maroon and cream, the two largest shares, so the portrait belongs to the arcade.

Is this pack for women?

The wardrobe and styling are cut for women, so the pack reads that way. Other packs on Narcis suit other looks.

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.
