It’s a fun way to get that edgy look for social media or a themed project.

What is the meaning of mugshot photo?

A mugshot photo is a type of photograph taken by law enforcement when someone is arrested. It typically includes a front-facing shot and a side profile, often with a placard showing the person’s name or ID number. Today, people also recreate mugshots just for fun, turning them into a trendy photo style.

What is the difference between a mugshot and a headshot?

A mugshot is usually taken in a legal or police setting to document someone's arrest, while a headshot is a professional photo used for resumes, acting gigs, or social media profiles. Mugshots have that signature front-and-side view with ID details, while headshots are polished, flattering, and focused on showing your best self.
