Why Personal Branding Photography is a must for Entrepreneurs

Visuals play a crucial role in how you portray your personal brand to your customers and clients. It’s important to remember that customers shop with their eyes and will often make decisions based on their first impression of someone.

Personal branding involves influencing the way potential customers see you and view your products or services, which is why personal branding photography can have such a massive impact. Professional photos are an asset and will serve you for years to come. Here are a few of the ways that you would benefit from having professional personal branding photos.

1. Send them with your press releases

If you usually send out press releases or are planning to in the coming year, professional photos will help your submission stand out.

2. Use them throughout your website

Businesses that feature professional photos of real people inspire more trust than those that use stock photos. Real photos also help tell your business story more authentically. At the very least, you should always have a professional headshot on your website so that potential customers know who they are doing business with.

3. Place them in your email campaigns

Take your email blasts to the next level by including your photo in them.

4. Include them on your landing pages

If you rely on landing pages to help you generate sales, adding personal branding photography to them can boost your results.

5. Create a killer bio for events

Speaking at an upcoming event? Make sure that you have a professional headshot and branding photos on hand to send along with your bio.

6. Make your email signature memorable

Not everybody remembers a name but almost everyone can recall a face. Adding a photo to your email signature can make it more memorable.

7. Add them to your printed marketing materials

If you print your marketing materials on a regular basis, a photo can be used to make your brochures and business cards stand out.

8. Save time

When you’re approached by a publisher, you want to have a professional photo that you approve of on hand. When you rely on publications to take your photos, you need to rely on their photographers, many of which are students. This is your personal brand and you should have the final say in whom takes your photos. You also save time in the sense that you don’t need to take additional time out of your day for the photos because you’ll already have them at your disposal.

Remember to refresh your photos often so that your personal brand is also reflected accurately.

Meet Tina Wing QGPP, GPPBQ

I've been a professional photographer for 8 years.

Many women are good at prioritising others needs before their own, especially when we become mothers. As we move through life, our changing roles, and different careers, we constantly need to re-define, and sometimes, need to ‘find’ ourselves again. We also want to look good for our businesses, but don’t like to be in front of a camera and are nervous of doing this. I will work with you to create personal branding images that will empower you, and to show the world the influential business woman that you are.

I empower female entrepreneurs with stunning branding photography so that they have an influential online presence.
