In today’s society, it is more important than ever to have a personal connection with the people around you. With social media, it is easy to lose touch with the people we care about. It is important to make time for face-to-face interactions, whether that be with your friends and family or with your colleagues. A personal connection can help to build trust and create a more productive work environment.
If you’re looking to make a good impression with prospective customers or networking contacts, a great headshot will help. But what makes a great headshot? In today’s digital age, photos are everywhere and it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. A strong headshot should capture your personality and make a connection with the viewer.
Professional business headshots are one of the best ways to create this connection. A clear photo of your face that looks polished and put-together, gives the impression that you are someone worth doing business with. Headshots can also help you build your personal brand and create an online presence.

Improving communication
Photos are a valuable communication tool for businesses. They help create connections with new clients and strengthen relationships with current ones. Business headshots are a key part of any professional portfolio, and they can make a big difference in the impression you make.
A good headshot should be high quality, show your personality, and be taken in a professional setting. It’s important to look your best when representing your business, so invest in a good photographer who knows how to capture your essence.
Your photos should be updated regularly as your business changes and grows. As you add new team members or change your branding, make sure your photo portfolio reflects those changes. The more consistent you are with your branding, the more successful you’ll be in connecting with potential clients.
Developing brand awareness
When businesses are creating their brand, they need to consider what colours and values represent them. They also need to develop a persona that their customers can identify with.
The colours a business chooses to use can convey certain values and emotions. For example, blue can be associated with trustworthiness and reliability. Red can be associated with excitement or passion. Green can be associated with environmentalism or health consciousness.
Values also play a role in choosing colours. If a business wants to come across as innovative, they might choose black and silver as their branding colours. If they want to come across as earth-friendly, they might choose green and brown tones.
Persona is another important factor in branding. A company’s persona should be something that its customers can see themselves in. It should be aspirational, but also relatable.
Here are four reasons ways you can develop brand awareness with your business headshots:
- Wear similar colours to your brand e.g. if blue is your signature colour, wear a tie or jumper that is the same colour palette.
- Ask for a coloured background that matches your website’s theme. One client’s website is pink toned so we coordinated the photograph for a cohesive feel.
- Ask your photographer to help you generate an expression or persona that suits your brand’s values. Stephen is hired for his ability to engage with large audiences as a consultant speaker. He wanted an open, friendly smile to show his likeability.
