“This is the best picture I have ever had taken”

Tips for Professional Portraits

First Impressions

Not so long ago we all had the opportunity to make our first impression with other people in person. Today, however, more and more people are “meeting” us through our web sites and other promotional materials before we ever get to look them in the eye and shake their hands. This is a relatively new problem, as well as a new opportunity. Without a professionally taken portrait we have already put ourselves at a disadvantage. Until we meet, our portrait is who we are.

Just as we hope to make a great first impression in person, it is equally important that we make an excellent first impression via the materials that potential clients and customers come into contact with during that crucial time when they are evaluating us, and making important decisions. We must look good, even before we meet.

An excellent photographic portrait is a very important component of making a great first impression. A likeness should portray you in the most favorable light. A snapshot taken by a friend, colleague or amateur photographer is rarely going to allow you to put your best foot forward and show your confidence, sincerity, good grooming and intelligence as well as one taken by a professional who specializes in portrait photography. We have all seen the photos used by some of our colleagues…standing in front of a wall, taken by a friend with a digital camera. The lighting isn’t right, the shadows are all wrong, the results are acceptable, but barely. Do you want to look acceptable, or absolutely terrific?

 

Professionals and business people are faced with a dilemma: Should they expend less effort and money for an “acceptable” likeness of themselves, or spend what they should to portray themselves in the best possible way? Don’t we all, really, want to look just as good as we possibly can? The extra effort is worth if for many reasons.

 

 

 

 

Who needs a professional portrait?

    • Executives
    • Physician
    • Dentists
    • Educators
    • Realtors
    • Managers
    • Administrators
    • Consultants
    • Really, anyone whose image is on a website or will appear in promotional materials

Because professionals and executives need to have current portraits for a variety of uses, we make sure that you will own the rights to your portrait. That way you can use your portrait any time and any place without any copyright questions whatsoever.
