Changing Trends in Portrait/Headshot Photography Over the Decade (2014 - 2023)

5/7/2023

 
The last decade has been a roller coaster ride for portrait and headshot photography. Starting with a focus on authenticity in 2014, the trends traversed through vintage aesthetics, personal branding, raw representation, artistic experimentation, and finally, a deep dive into self-reflection and vulnerability in 2020.

While each year brought its flavor, there were some common threads. Authenticity remained a consistent theme throughout the decade. The urge to represent the 'real self' has been a constant, whether it’s through unretouched photos or capturing raw emotions.

The influence of technology and digital platforms also can't be overlooked. With platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn becoming essential tools for self-expression and professional representation, the lines between personal and professional portraits began to blur.

The 2010s also saw a rise in inclusivity, with representation of diverse groups becoming a crucial part of portrait photography. Gone were the days of cookie-cutter images; the world now demanded to see every shade of human existence.

As we moved closer to 2020, the push for personal branding and self-representation became even stronger. With global challenges forcing introspection, portraits became a mirror to society's soul, capturing the resilience, vulnerabilities, joys, and sorrows of the human spirit.
​
This evolving journey of portrait photography over the past decade is a testament to its power. It's not just about capturing faces; it's about capturing the zeitgeist of the era. The ever-changing trends in headshot photography reflect the evolving societal norms, challenges, and aspirations, making it an exciting realm to watch as we move forward.
