Distinguished headshots for public service leaders.
Public-service photos have to read as both authoritative and approachable — you're representing constituents, not customers. Government styles get the formal-but-human balance right: dignified attire, controlled lighting, expressions that say "I can be trusted with this office."
Four purpose-built looks: Diplomat, Policy Advisor, Public Defender, Campaigner. Each is tuned to a specific public role.
- Government agency staff pages
- Political campaign websites
- Think-tank fellow profiles
- NGO and nonprofit leadership pages

About Government headshots
Best style for a campaign website?
Campaigner — polo shirt, outdoor backdrop, joyful smile, golden-hour lighting. It reads as approachable and human, which is the brief for most modern political campaigns.
Diplomat vs Policy Advisor — which for foreign service?
Diplomat — business suit and tie, gradient backdrop, confident smile, clamshell lighting. Reads as international and distinguished. Policy Advisor is more analytical and reads better for think-tank or policy-shop bios.
Can I use Government styles for a nonprofit?
Yes — Public Defender and Campaigner both translate well to mission-driven nonprofit work.
