All has to pick an individual style. Usually business attire is of 4 types- business casual, small business, business formal and business professional to choose from!

Choose the background

Choose a calm serene background not highly abstract, eye-catching and busy as that could be distracting! Background plays a vital role in what image you are trying to sell. Never use any props. Conventional backgrounds are best like brick, natural, white and black which provide the focus completely on the person on the card.

Composition

Composition is all about mixing of the objects and positioning of the elements much similar to that of an art! Always try to keep as less and clean as you can so that it garners the eyeball of the people.

Keep optimum space around the image so that background won’t get mixed and the objects are more prominent. Don’t use the middle of photo as the background of the business card. Instead use an alignment inclines to left (highly preferable) or right. 

Lighting

Make maximum use of the natural lighting. So photography is evening or early morning sun is best. Avoid using harsh light to eliminate the chance of shadows. If outdoor photography is not possible try something indoor with lots of light work. 

Size of the image file

As the size of the business card is small don’t opt for small image size. Always set the camera to obtain the largest photo. Otherwise it will become quite small to use on the custom business cards.

As a result, there is a chance that the photos seem blurry on the computer. In this era of social media, people judge a person quickly without thinking deeply about it. Hence, smile broadly and keep a professional attitude.
