Why Do I Need a Professional Headshot At All?
One word answer: marketing. Whether you are searching for a new job, an actor, and entrepreneur, an offline business with a great team, or online business generating income from LinkedIn, the fact is that people buy into people and so your headshot gets that marketing ball rolling …fast! Here’s how it works.
Your Introduction
Your headshot, is the first contact people will have with you. It is your best weapon to attract new clients and present yourself to the world. It’s your marketing tool which will showcase yourself in the best possible light and attract opportunities that will progress your career and build the relationships that will take your career or business to the next level.
Optimisation
Professional headshots do more than fill in that grey circular gap on your LinkedIn profile. They attract attention, increase your visibility and kick start immediate trust from people who you meet. If used consistently across all your online and offline channels, your professional image amplifies the presence you have everywhere
Your Reward
Your headshot will be working for you 24x7 helping you build those trust relationships. You work hard to offer something special so claim visibility for what you do. Recognition is all about spreading the message of who you are and what you do, and finding your audience to take you further.
Some Common Questions
I'm really rubbish (or I hate) having my picture taken
Well, you’re in good company. 60-70% of people feel just like you do. I never assume that you will arrive relaxed about your photo shoot. It’s our job to put you at your ease. Everyone leaves us with great shots. Everyone.
I'm not attractive enough for professional photos
Your headshot is about representing the authentic you. Something people can look at and believe is you. After all, if you’re prepared to meet people in person, then doesn’t it make sense that your would let people meet you in a picture that looks authentically like you? It’s my job to make you look your absolute best – you on your best day. My service is for everyone – and everyone leaves my headshot sessions with great images.
I won't know what to wear or what to do
Broadly speaking, wear what you like. Have a selection of mixes and matches in mind that you would like to try out. There are some do’s and don’ts but you’ll receive all the nitty gritty information to help you make some choices before your shoot.
In terms of what to do, how to stand, where to look during the shoot itself, I’ll direct and coach you every step of the way.
Do you have a studio, how does it all work?
I have chosen not to have a headshot studio. The main reason is that the majority of my work is mobile. We go to companies premises and individuals’ homes to do shoots with my mobile set up. For individuals, this works best as they have easy access to their wardrobe and they don’t have to pack lots of outfits to bring to a studio.
I will arrive promptly at your house or premises and setup the camera and lights – we’ll need a room or a small area to do this and it will take about 10 minutes to set up.Â
One-to-One Headshot Sessions With Individuals
My headshot photo sessions with individuals are usually one to two hours.Â
The price is the same – I work until we get what we need and you are happy.
I have a mobile set-up so I’m happy to come to you at your home or office (evenings and weekends are fine). 99% of my clients are happy to do this as they are comfortable in their own place and have access to their wardrobe.
Many of those that come to see us are nervous about what to expect. This is absolutely fine and absolutely normal. It’s my job to help you, coach you and generally look after you throughout our time together.Â
Corporate Team Photo Shoots
I realise that time is money and that businesses who need headshots for their staff cannot afford to have those staff out of action for hours.
However, I’m not “turnstyle” photographer. IÂ prioritise quality over quantity and each member of staff is treated individually with the care and attention they would get had they approached me directly themselves.
For this reason we request that we have approx. 15-20 minutes with each person. It takes at least this long to put a potentially nervous person at their ease and explore the various facial angles and coach the person to get the best shots. But we will work with whatever time we have available with your staff.
I value all our clients greatly and go to great lengths to ensure they are 100% satisfied. That’s why the booking process, contracts, proofing and delivery will all be plain sailing. I will appear at your premises on time and dressed smartly so that your own customers are not affected by our presence, and other than the work I have to do, I will keep out of your way.
