Why a Professional Headshot is Critical
I always take time to
learn from my clients why they’ve hired me to take their pictures. This
knowledge helps me deliver a greater value to the individuals and
companies I serve.
Here are some of the ways my clients have used my pictures:
Image Competition
Simply
put, if your headshots will be shown next to those of your competitors,
you’ll want your photos to be better than the rest. For example, are
you listed on a website that displays multiple service providers to
choose from, such as a list of realtors or attorneys? If your photo
looks better than your competition, your great headshot could be all it
takes for you to get more leads.
Market Yourself
A great
headshot is critical for many marketing and advertising campaigns.
Advertisements you place online, on billboards, bus stops, and inside
magazines receive better response rates if they include great pictures.
Engaging, honest headshots are an important part of showing why your
prospective clients should hire YOU and not your competition. Many ads
only feature a headshot, a service description, and a phone number. I
make sure my clients have picture-perfect images that capture their
market’s attention.
Social Media
Earn more and better-paying
clients through social media and online marketing. Be found by
prospective employers on LinkedIn with a great headshot that showcases
you looking your best. Your corporate headshot can craft your online
image and control how the market sees you.
Program Pictures
If
you’re a public speaker or regularly speak at events, event planners
and coordinators definitely need a great picture of you to use in the
program. An attorney who regularly speaks at congressional hearings
contacted me specifically for a headshot to be used when he gives talks.
Office Portraits
Doctors,
attorneys, and lawyers often have pictures of themselves and their
staff up at the office, to help create a friendly, welcoming environment
for their clients or patients.
Website Images
Many
companies are including pictures on staff bio webpages – many consumers
expect to be able to click and see who they will be working with. I’ve
partnered with a number of web designers and small businesses to create
top-notch employee portraits for web pages.
Showcase expertise
A
great corporate headshot will showcase your confidence and expertise.
As part of your overall image, you’ll look more professional online when
you have professional pictures. Conversely, you can lose your market’s
confidence with a bad picture.
