Finding Your Photographer Match Is The Key To GREAT Photos!
-
So you are marketing yourself and your career in your own unique way.
-
You want your personal brand to come across as exciting, engaging, and different from the rest of your competition.
-
You want to put the task of capturing your image and your essence into the hands of a capable, professional personal branding photographer.
But how can you tell whether a photographer is a good fit for that daunting task?
Here are five things you should keep an eye out for as you’re trying to find a good match:
1. Portfolio
Not all photographers shoot the same way! Every photographer has a unique aesthetic and style that will translate to their photographs. Are you looking for classic and sophisticated or is your look more bright and colorful? All great photographers will be able to hear to your vision and work on capturing it, it’s in your best interest to choose a photographer whose portfolio and previous work resonates with you.
2. Specialization
Photography is an art & everyone isn’t good at everything! A wedding photographer or family portrait photographer isn’t necessarily an excellent personal branding photographer. There are key differences that elevate your final product. Look for an experienced photographer who specializes in what you need: personal brand photography.
3. What’s Included?
No one likes hidden costs! To have a successful personal brand photoshoot, there’s usually more elements that go into it than just you, the photographer, and the camera. Find out whether your photographer offers a brand story consult, wardrobe advice, professional hair and makeup suggestions, or a nice looking studio space as part of their personal brand photoshoot package. If not, consider those potential extra costs when working out your budget. HINT: There might be a studio fee or session fee for some locations.
4. Connection
During your discussions, focus on how your photographer is making you feel. Do you feel confident in their ability to make you look your best? Do they make you feel confident in yourself? Do you feel comfortable and at ease? Do you feel like they understand your vision? If so, this will definitely show in your photos!
5. Think About The Future
As you and your business evolve, you’ll want your personal branding photos to also reflect your new & updated looks. To keep your brand looking fresh, ask whether your potential photographer offers a monthly or quarterly photoshoot package to regularly change out your photos.
