professional headshot

Corporate profile picture

A professional headshot is a formal photograph of a person's face and shoulders, typically used for business purposes—LinkedIn profiles, company websites, résumés, or actor portfolios.

The term implies studio lighting, a clean background, and polished presentation, distinguishing it from casual selfies or snapshots: She scheduled a session to update her professional headshot.
