We know you hate having your photo taken. We’ve got your back.
Since 2010, HeadshotsRaleigh has been taking the best corporate headshots, in the Raleigh NC Metro area.
Investing in a professional-looking, high-quality headshot, by Headshots Raleigh, is an investment in your personal brand. It portrays you in the best light, the way you want potential clients to view you. Many of us aren’t photogenic by nature.
As a result, amateur photography might make you appear quite different than you do in person…and certainly not your finest. A headshot photographer that specializes in this type of photography understands how to position you, find the right backdrop, and use lighting to obtain the greatest possible image.
They may also give you advice on what kind of apparel to wear and what colors to wear.
I feel you should dress as if you were going to work. Wear a suit if you’re a corporate executive.
Wear your lab coat if you’re a doctor or nurse.
Choose hues that suit your skin tone and hair color if you work in the business world and have a little more flexibility with your “work uniform.”
Solid colors are preferable over patterns in general.
A vividly colored (but not too flashy) tie with a traditional white shirt and dark-toned suit is a good option for guys.
Having an impact-making headshot is more vital than ever now that social media plays such a large part in advertising our professional qualities. Your headshot will have a far-reaching web presence, in addition to more traditional purposes like the staff page of your organization’s website and inclusion in conference or speaking engagement–related materials, because every social media platform demands a profile photograph.
So, are you still debating whether or not you need a professional headshot?
Here are six compelling reasons to do so:
Professional headshots are no longer reserved for top executives. Everyone need one. If you don’t already have one, I recommend finding a talented headshot photographer and crossing it off your to-do list. Your professionalism and distinctive personality will come through with a beautiful headshot, opening doors to new opportunities and new business.
