Real estate professionals have been placing their images on business cards for decades and rightly so, as experts have recently noted that placing your headshot on your business card allows the recipient to better recall you and the conversation had with greater ease.  

Getting back in the dating game as an older man can be challenging, but how handsome is this guy? :)

Will my image help me stand out from the crowd?

The images that represents your career, your brand, yourself, is not something you take lightly.  Making a small investment in your headshot shows clients, prospects, employers, recruiters, potential suiters and important contacts that you are serious about YOU.

With all the unprofessional headshots out there, your high-quality and visually pleasing image will allow people to put a professional face to a name and you will be much more likely to stay top-of-mind to those who view your profile.

NOT HAVING A PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT IS COSTING YOU MORE THAN YOU THINK

How will my pose, expression and lighting of the image convey my message?

Forget one of these three keys and the overall image suffers.

POSING:  includes posture, head tilt, head positioning, shoulder tilt and positioning, angle in relationship to the camera, arms positioning (crossed or not) to name a few items.  Body language is visual and can make or break your message.

EXPRESSION:  relates to your eyes, brows, and mouth – do you want to convey a stern appearance, playful, or a warm and friendly one? It depends on your profession and/or the message you wish to convey.

LIGHTING:  your headshot, creates the mood. Alysia knows how to best capture the mood you are going for through strategic placement of her lights/strobes. This requires experience and an understanding of light. 

DON'T BE OVERLOOKED AGAIN...GET NOTICED BY PEOPLE THAT MATTER

How will the location/background help convey my message?

What you wear and what background you are photographed in front of can have a huge affect on the final outcome of your image. Combining inappropriate color palettes or distracting backgrounds that don't directly correlate or compliment your message, can take away from the main subject of the image –YOU.

Alysia, your photographer, will help determine the background setting/colors to present you and your message in the best “light”.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS TO CHANCE

How will what I wear convey this message?

This is pretty straight forward – take a look at all three images of the same woman.  

PICTURE 1 - Creatives, artists, dating -  then a less formal look.

PICTURE 2 - Traditional businessperson - more formal look

PICTURE 3 - Acting - dress for "type" 

Consult with Alysia and ask them for her do’s and don’ts information on what to wear for your shoot. She will help you with color selections, patterns etc.
