How to use your headshots

A lot of people wonder why they should spend so much time and money on getting a professional headshot if it's only going to be a "glorified display picture" on social media.?

A headshot can be used in a host of other ways. The possibilities are limitless. Quality headshots can do so much for your brand. Some of the ways they can be used:

• The first is your social media presence. This is one of the most popular uses of headshots. For displaying pictures on various social media platforms, email accounts, and so much more. Good professional headshots boost your online presence. Headshots can also be used for cover images, as lead magnets, on video channels, for press releases, blogs, book covers, and much more.

• Headshots can be used in portfolios and resumes. When applying for certain positions with certain organizations, a professional picture of you might be required and you have to do much better than a passport photograph.

• Well-taken headshots position you as an authority in your field. When sending out newsletters or postcards, having your headshot attached is also a good idea. Picture this: sending out information to thousands of leads and selling your brand in one go. Imagine the influence on the growth of your brand if you are seen as the "go-to person" in your field.?

• When creating note cards that market your brand, stickers, packaging designs, custom cards( thank you cards, congratulations, greetings), and customized goodies( journals, notepads, etc); a headshot is also an important part of your brand. People are more comfortable interacting with someone displaying the right qualities for their brand.?

So, these are a few ways you can make excellent use of your professional headshots. Also, ensure they are taken by a professional photographer who can reflect your brand value and more in your pictures. When used right, pictures are an amazing tool to propel a brand forward.?
