Everyone has heard the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words.” That’s more relevant today than it was just a few years ago.
Today’s world is media driven. Our lives are on full display over the internet. As such, it’s essential for anyone who’s in the public eye to present themselves in a unique and professional manner. And more times than not, the first way we present ourselves is through our appearance on a corporate website, one of many social media sites, or even printed advertisements. The public sees us and gets to “know” us by the way we present ourselves through these various forms of media.
Our first introduction to the public on any form of media is through our photograph. Especially in the corporate world, that photograph is the corporate headshot. And for actors who are looking for work, their first introduction to a casting director is via their theatrical headshot. Having professional and modern headshots taken so you can present to the public exactly who you are and what you’re all about is one of the best ways for you to find the success that you’re looking to achieve.
And you don’t need to be an actor, other performing artist, or an executive of a large company to require a headshot. Some other people who routinely use headshots include doctors, chefs, consultants, people in middle management, entrepreneurs, small business owners, real estate associates, and politicians. And this list is by no means exhaustive!
Wherever you are in your career, whatever your career may be, whether you are employed or self-employed, your headshot is often your first introduction to employers, colleagues, and potential clients. A good headshot helps people identify you and shows that you take your career and business seriously.
So where can your headshot be used? Here are many of the places that you should consider: on your resume or your CV; as your LinkedIn Profile picture; in a magazine article; on your company website; on business cards; as your Facebook Profile picture; in brochures; in your Instagram Profile; in marketing materials; in newspaper articles; in your Twitter Profile.
Headshots are important for many reasons and their uses are becoming universal. So why not book a headshot session today? We’re ready when you are!
