Advantages Of Professional Headshots On Your Website – Bay Area Brand Photographer | Personal Branding Photographer San Francisco, Brand Photography San Francisco

Many occupations rely on people skills to connect with people and hire them for their reputation. People want to feel they can trust someone and while much of this can be assumed through a resume or reviews or content on a site, appearance can set a tone that can make or break you.

Coming off as narcissistic or cold can turn away customers. Similarly, looking too polished and perfect can make it hard for people to connect with you as you don’t seem approachable or would not understand their situation and point of view.

Creative Headshots & Portraits

Some photographers are very awkward, and overly technical, photoshop their photos beyond recognition or give bad advice like using too much makeup. Others lack experience in outfits, hair, location scouting, and putting clients at ease.

I rely heavily on my creative side for location scouting, styling and poses to obtain effortless, fun, approachable photos that don't look awkward, stiff nor cliche.
