3 Tips For Planning Your Personal Branding Photoshoot



3 TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR PERSONAL BRANDING PHOTO SESSION

Whether you're planning a session now or sometime down the road these tips will help in your planning process. 
  1. Before Your Session - Confirm any hair and makeup appointments and confirm the address one week prior to your session. If you will be coloring your hair, this is the time to do it.  The day before your session prepare your outfits, ensuring that they’re steamed, pressed and on hangers. If you want to look great in your photos, make sure you are well hydrated on the day prior and be sure to go to bed early so you will look and feel well rested.
  1. The Day of the Session - Now it’s all about relaxing and enjoying the experience. Your photographer will direct you on how to pose and ensure that you get the best possible shots.  There should be a mix of lifestyle images and headshots to give your audience a better view of what you do on a daily basis. Behind the scenes shots lend a more personal view of what it’s like to work with you. 
  1. Editing - After the shoot Your photographer should spend time sorting through all of the photos, deleting any photos that didn’t work out. Once that's done you will review the proofs. The proofs typically will not have been edited so these won’t be the final images. Final editing will get rid of any small imperfections and ensure that the color looks amazing. It’s best to choose a good mix of images so that you have a little bit of everything available to you. We are always happy to assist you with this process if need be. 
I hope that you find these little tidbits interesting. If you'd like to see more about why, how and where to use personal branding photography please get in touch. Have a safe, authentic week.

Part 2 of 2 Thoughts for Better Visuals During a Virtual Meetings

Image
This 2 part blog addresses the professionalism and your personal brand that you can project in a virtual meeting. Don't waste the opportunity or other attendees' time if you aren't going to respect who they and you are. In Part 1  we discussed paying attention in a virtual meeting, dressing professionally, and staying in one place sitting still. The next 3 thoughts address the environmental setting. Backgrounds - Is it as difficult for you as it is for me to concentrate on the person when the background is like a storage facility? OK, that's harsh. But even though not all of us have the luxury of devoting a spiffy space to where we meet it wouldn't hurt to clean up the mess behind. Solution: have your logo, product photos, etc. ( professionally shot if possible ) printed by a retail printer and hang them up behind you. Make sure the photo size is large enough or close enough to your screen that your viewers can appreciate what's behind you. Optional...

A techie option is to go for a light rated close to 5500k (kelvins), a neutral. Many ring lights have options that include Warm White, Cool White, and Daylight. 2. 👀 Glasses. I wear them.
