Not sure if this is truly an unpopular opinion or if I just think it will be, but hear me out on this... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just because you’re a photographer doesn’t mean you have to hold a camera in your brand photos 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If someone is hiring you as a photographer, they don’t need to see a photo of you holding a camera to know what you do. What they really want to see is your personality come through in the image! They want you to make them FEEL something so they get a little bit of an idea of what it’s like to be around you and how you’ll make THEM feel! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So put that camera down and get a little more creative with how you show off your personality and brand through your headshots and brand photos! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about the colors you’re using and what they say; consider your outfit and how formal or casual you want to go; bring in other things that show off parts of you to create connection (like how I used my dog, Spruce here!); play around with different facial expressions and unexpected crops or angles; and if you must have a camera, try something unique like a vintage model you use for your personal photos, or a colorful instant camera for fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to stand out in your next headshots? Grab a spot in my colorful headshot mini sessions this month (June 19th at @thesunlightspace ) and I’ll walk you through it! Together we can overcome any fears you have and truly make your headshots feel like YOU!
