Why do you need more than a simple Headshot for your website? Is a branding portfolio even worth your time and investment? The answer is this - The traditional old-fashioned Headshot is about the first impression. Your eyes, smile and your connection with the audience. Your branding portraits are about raising the interest level. They capture your personality, project your confidence, communicate your expertise and authority in your field and engage your client so that you can ultimately build trust with them and most importantly, each branding portrait serves a unique purpose. The traditional face focused Headshot can be used for:
§ Business cards with a photo help people remember you from networking events,
§ Your professional networking profile image (LinkedIn etc),
§ Social media profiles,
§ Website,
§ Email signature,
§ Resume,
§ Company reports,
§ Company directory,
§ Employee of the month,
§ Corporate brochures,
§ For your campaign when you have political aspirations?
§ Job applications sites.
Basically, any place to represent you when you can’t be there in person.
The personal branding “personality shots” can be used for:
§ Marketing materials such as brochures,
§ Press releases,
§ Postcards to re-connect with your clients,
§ Newsletters,
§ Ongoing social media posts,
§ Displays in reception or waiting room,
§ Speaking engagements,
§ Building your personal brand as a consultant or starting a business,
§ Dating agency profile,
§ Volunteer roles.
The above list can have interchangeable applications and can be expanded with your imagination.
Here’s a neat example of the branding team Headshots that we created for one of our amazing clients - Asenka Interactive.
Brian from Asenka Interactive wanted a uniform look for his team that was not done indoors. And so we did the corporate team Headshots for Asenka Interactive at their office location in Princeton. It was a beautiful day to do the Headshots outdoors, in their favorite spot, right behind their office. The Asenka team was relaxed and the shoot was so much fun! The Asenka team present themselves as “pretty friendly folks” and that’s the spirit we captured in their Headshots. Don’t you agree?
Here’s how they chose to use their Headshots on her website: In their “Team” section:
