The Value of Professional Headshots
Calgary Professional Headshots
We all know photography is an investment. But you may wonder, 'Anastasia, why should I need professional headshots? Isn't a selfie sufficient?' or 'Oh, my friend just took a photo of me on their phone...5 years ago, that should do it, right?' Insert a buzzer sound here. Nope!
I am here to save you from bad selfies, poor-lit iPhone photos and outdated cheesy headshots! Nothing screams unprofessional like this kind of photo for your business, workplace or brand. People shop with their eyes, and aesthetically pleasing images add to the value and worth of your brand even more. It promotes a solid and polished brand identity; your clients see you invest in your company and take it seriously! Sign me up for any Calgary business that invests in their growth to improve their client experience!
What is a headshot?
Let's begin by defining what it is! It's a simple photograph of a person's head and facial features. This connects the viewer to the name and appearance of a physical person (or their likeness) and establishes an informal connection between them and the person they are seeing.
Why do you need it?
To make the connection between you and your customer or audience. This is your digital introduction to your clients, peers, and you and to make the BEST first impression. This leads to people trusting you and growing your business by establishing that introduction.
Aren't headshots boring and too stiff?
I hear you, but I prefer a different approach. I want your headshots to be genuine, fun and authentic to you and your brand! You can do so much with amazing headshots, making them unique to your message and business. We chat about the work you do, tell your story and really focus on what your business is driven by!
Tips on making your headshots gorgeous:
Dress the part! Bring several outfits that you are comfortable in and that you would wear in your business or work practice. Don't fear colour; embrace it!
Props are always welcome to add more layers of uniqueness to your shoot.
Be well groomed to your comfort; we want to present you in your best light.
Get out of the box (or your head, more like); if it is a bit uncomfortable, then that means your shot will be spectacular and visually captivating!
Practice poses in front of the mirror to see what you like. Although I have poses in mind (sitting or standing, etc.), I also want to hear your preference!
