(Even If You Hate Being in Front of the Camera!) Professional Brand Photos show the YOU-ness behind your brand.
Is it time to update your headshot or profile picture?
Let’s be honest—when was the last time you updated your brand photos or headshot? If your current headshot is a slightly blurry selfie from 2017 or a random holiday snap where you’ve awkwardly cropped out your best mate, then it might be time for a refresh!
Branding photography isn’t just about having a ‘nice’ photo. It’s about putting a face to your business, building trust, and helping people feel connected to YOU before they’ve even met you. And that’s pretty powerful!
Why Good Brand Photos Matter
We live in a world where first impressions are made online—often before you’ve even had a chance to say hello. Whether it’s your website, social media, or LinkedIn profile, your brand photos are doing a lot of the talking for you. And let’s face it, we’ve all scrolled straight to the about page on small business websites, haven’t we?
A great set of brand images will:
✔️ Help you stand out – No more blending into a sea of faceless businesses!
✔️ Build trust – It’s that know, like, trust factor isn’t it? People LOVE to see the real human behind the brand.
✔️ Make marketing easier – No more scrambling for decent images to post.
✔️ Showcase your personality – Whether you’re fun and vibrant or calm and professional, your photos should reflect YOU.
But what if the idea of having your photo taken makes you want to run for the hills? Let’s talk about camera shyness…
