A guide to understanding a business portrait session

As someone who tends to feel a little camera shy, you’ll be all too familiar with those glossy photo profiles on social media sites – Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter.

Yet, are you happy with your photo?

This blog post was written with you in mind, so you can see what goes into a natural portrait session on the Isle of Wight. This means you’ll understand what to expect in easy steps and have confidence in your decision to book a professional photographer.

The Facts

Most working women contact me when they want their profile image to say a little more –

I publish children’s literature – I want to look professional with a welcoming smile

I run a health food website – I want to look happy, healthy and alive

I run offices throughout Hampshire – I need a professional look that isn’t too staged.

The Myths

Movie theatres have a lot to answer for – common consensus in films finds photographers sitting in front of the computer, hot tea in hand, and still wearing out PJs after eleven.  We jump out of our seats for an hour to snap, snap, snap a glamorous model or impossibly happy child.

I love to bust that myth – the truth is a little closer to home. Every day people book photographers to capture expressive portraits that say something about who they are.

And that’s my mission – to show you how it’s done.

Don’t miss out

If you feel professional photography isn’t for you, you could be missing out on a valuable way to improve your social media profile. Updating your portrait is a fast, easy way to connect with fellow professionals, enhance your online reputation, and feel good about your online identity.

That’s only the start of it.
