As a successful businesswoman, representing your company to the best of your ability is a must. The good way to do that is with a killer headshot. Not only is your headshot the first introduction of yourself, in many cases, to those you network with. It’s also a way of showing who you are. When a potential client visits your website or social media platform don’t let their first impression of you be tarnished by a bad selfie.
Being the literal face of your business, let the expert branding photography from Kristina Maness Photography take your headshot game to the next level. As a professional corporate branding photographer, my goal is to make you look and feel your best. Using the same fresh and light style as the rest of my body of work, I am a pro in turning headshots into editorial quality shoots, making your business shine with her creative touch.
If you’re ready to take your corporate branding to the next level, here are a few things to keep in mind when scheduling headshots:
Choose clothes that make you look phenomenal
Clothing choice is everything! From the way it’s styled to the way it shapes your body, your clothing is an extension of yourself. The clothes we wear have the power to affect our behavior, personality, confidence, influence, and so much more. While our clothes don’t identify us, they are a representation of the person within; ultimately becoming an essential part of our identity.
Keep in mind, when choosing the attire for your headshots of how you want to be portrayed. Wear a certain color that makes you feel empowered and fierce when you adorn it. If there is a certain outfit that makes you feel powerful, wear it! Above all, wear something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and the successful businesswoman you are.
When my clients schedule headshots, I always tell them to bring two or three changes of clothes, be mindful of their favorite colors, what they feel good in and what represents their brand.
Build a connection
Think of your headshot as a tool to build a connection with potential clients by sharing a quick taste of your style and vibe. It’s important to let your personality shine through when taking business photography. Regardless of your professional industry, your headshot is literally acting as the face of your business. Above all, it’s intuitive to make sure it supports your brand and mission. In today’s virtual world, a headshot is just as important as your website, logo, and business card.
This will help you connect with your target audience on a deeper level. Imagine your headshot as an opportunity for a potential client to take the next steps and get to know you better. A truly great headshot can be just the reassurance a prospect needs to take those next steps working with you.
Use a professional
When getting corporate headshots, keep in mind that you want to use a professional business photographer. Having someone you connect with, who understands lighting, angles, and photo editing will make you feel at ease during the whole process.
Choose a photographer who’ll deck out your social media accounts and websites out with a variety of killer photography that captures you in your natural elements. Know one is better at infusing your natural you-ness in product photography from Instagram stories to Pinterest icons.
