The Importance of Professional Headshots

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so make it a good one.

A professional headshot can be one of the most important pieces of marketing material you have. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so make it a good one. You may think that taking a headshot or doing headshot photography is simple, right? Not really - headshot photography can be tricky and even uncomfortable for the person getting their photo taken. Choosing a professional who you can trust will benefit you in the long run. Taking a headshot is difficult, and not every photographer can do it well.

We know all of the tips and tricks to bring out the best in you! From positioning to angling, to lighting, and choosing the best backdrop, we will do everything in the best possible way for YOU!

Having the right equipment is essential. If you choose an amateur photographer rather than a professional - it will show.

A professional will have the right shooting equipment... the proper lighting, backdrops, camera and lenses. Also, ask questions - what background looks best, what should I do with my hands? Do I have to pose? And can I change my outfit? Asking questions will help you choose the best professional photographer.

Having a professional at your service will lead to exceptional results. It is common for people to struggle or feel uncomfortable when having their headshot done. Choosing a professional to work with will lessen the struggle as the photographer will be helping you along the way. They will lead you in every step of the process and ensure that you get stunning results. We can also help you with the selection of your outfits. We will guide you in poses that will bring out your personality to be captured. Professional headshots are unique because they allow you to show off who you really are in the frame - allowing people to get to know more about you before even speaking to them.

Having your headshot done well is so important - the way people see you will help build trust and credibility. People respond positively when they see a face to go with a name, so having a friendly, well-composed portrait of yourself can help create an instant connection with potential clients or employers. In addition, for you or for your company, it sets apart your brand. An eye-catching and high-quality headshot will make sure that your branding stands out from others as well as convey professionalism and quality standards. Face it, every first impression these days, starts on social media. Whether it’s on LinkedIn, or Facebook, or a business website, a good photo adds life to any of these platforms.

Remember, your personal brand should be apparent in your headshot. From how you dress to the expression on your face, this all tells a story. This all tells about YOU.
