Why you need a professional corporate headshot.

Why you need a professional corporate headshot, we get asked this quite often, and our reply is straightforward. You happily buy a top-of-the-range business suit, you purchase a nice car, and you pay to have a professional cut your hair, so why would you cut corners when it comes to your corporate headshot? Your corporate headshot is the first impression potential clients or employers get of you. If you try to save a few hundred pounds by using a selfie or getting a friend to take your corporate headshot, you will look unprofessional. You can hire a website designer and a copywriter for your corporate website, but it will not matter if you use a non-professional corporate headshot, it will all be a waste of time. As a strict rule, the first thing people look at on a website is the photos. This is a natural thing, as photos are the quickest way a person can gather information. So, if you do not use a quality corporate headshot, the person viewing your website or LinkedIn profile page will get a poor first impression of you, and you will not get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Here is another reason why you should have a pro-corporate headshot. If you want to look like someone to do business with, then budget for a quality corporate headshot. Hire a professional corporate portrait photographer. Do not make the mistake of hiring any professional photographer, as they may be great at capturing landscapes or interiors. Still, you need to go to a professional portrait photographer who captures corporate headshots on a regular basis. They will have tips on how to stand, what expressions work for you, and ideas on wardrobe. Most of all, they will have a portrait lens, pro studio lighting, and backgrounds.
