Review the pictures of yourself. When were they taken? Do they say “1980s” or “when you had more hair?” To be credible and up-to-date in your business, it is imperative to have a current representation of you. Expectations are important. If the expectation is a petite 40 year old and you are really a 60 year old with an added 25 pounds, your audience may see you as out of touch and you may have reduced your credibility.
Avoid false advertising. Show who you are now. Be authentic.
Before you have your photo shoot think about the following:
When people see your picture, what qualities do you want people to think of? Here are examples:
- Trusting
- Approachable
- Powerful
- CEO- like
- Playful
- Serious
- Current
Do you have different audiences? For example:
- Associations
- C Suite
- Colleges
To make a connection with them, you want dress appropriately for your audience.
Which purposes do you want the pictures for?
- Social Profiles
- Bio pages
- Action Shots – can be done by greenscreen
- Website
- Business Cards
- Post Cards
- Banner
Understanding your purpose will change the way we set up the shoot.
We have set our photo shoots up for more of an instant gratification style. Burger King while out of business in many places, has a good slogan “have it your way.” That’s what we have set up.
