the power of the headshot
One of the most overlooked corners of photography is personal and corporate headshot work. I have come to love shooting headshots, whether simple or artistic, close, or environmental. Here are just a few ways that having professional headshots can benefit you!
The first impression: Your headshot is often the first thing potential employers, clients, or colleagues see when they view your online profile or website. A professional headshot can make a great first impression and convey that you take your professional image seriously.
Branding: Your headshot is a representation of your personal brand. A high-quality, professional headshot can help you communicate your brand message effectively and differentiate yourself from others in your industry. People want to relate to people, not corporate or business iconography.
Increased credibility: A professional headshot can help establish your credibility in your field. It can give the impression or even provide proof that you are a competent, reliable, and trustworthy professional.
Visibility: Having a professional headshot can make it easier for people to find and recognize you online. This can be especially important if you are using social media or online networking platforms to promote your business or services. This can further benefit you if you plan to connect with people after meeting them in-person, as your image will most clearly bring out feelings of familiarity.
Networking: A professional headshot can be a useful tool for networking. You can use your headshot on business cards, online profiles, and other marketing materials to help people remember you and your services.
Overall, a good headshot can be an essential element in building and promoting your professional image, and can help you stand out in a competitive market.
