Lifestyle Headshots
I once showed up to photograph an engagement shoot… and the couple had no idea who I was.
Why? Well, the photograph of myself on my website, and what I looked like in person were vastly different.
The year was 2020 (pre-lockdown), and I bleached my hair at midnight on New Year’s Eve. New year, new me, and all that. I didn’t think twice about my online image.
This is why, and I can’t stress this enough: an up-to-date professional headshot visually represents you and communicates that you take yourself seriously to prospective employers, customers, or clients.
The photo that was on my website…
versus what I looked like in person.
You are professional, confident, and competent — A professional headshot communicates a level of unspoken trust to employers, customers, or clients as well as helps you make a kick-ass first impression…in the digital age where you are up against hundreds of other people who do the exact same thing as you, just as well as you, ensuring your first impression online is strong should not be left to chance!
Ultimately, a headshot is not just about a flattering photo, though that’s a plus too… it’s about making sure that you stand out in an overcrowded online landscape and make an impact in today’s competitive world.
