All professionals need a headshot taken by an excellent photographer. A good photo tells the world who you are. It makes you look and feel confident and shows that you take your career and company seriously.
The right digital or print portrait portrays executives, those in decision-making positions and other company representatives as polished, well-qualified, experienced, and competent. It introduces you to those you have not met in person, giving them that all-important first impression and an idea of who you are.
A headshot focuses on you and excludes aspects that draw the attention away from the focus point. You may need it for the ‛About Us’ page on your company website or as an introduction to recruiters on LinkedIn.
Employers frequently do a quick internet search to learn more about potential colleagues in advance. Business marketers realise that content containing images or videos get the most conversions. A professional photo makes a positive impression on possible bosses and business associates and may be advantageous to your career.
Your professional headshots should reflect your persona, align with your branding and represent the business you epitomise. I can advise you on the appropriate background, the style you want to depict, visual aesthetics, and suitable clothing.
It is vital to have a current photograph ready, should your employer require it for social media marketing, a press release, or a company announcement.
