Why headshots matter.

November 04, 2024 in Manchester photographer, Headshots

Did you know that first impressions from a photo can be made almost instantly. In fact, the human brain responds to images incredibly quickly, and people make an impression from an image in less than a second. Professional headshots are an incredibly valuable investment to make and help you:

  • Make a good first impression
    Professional headshots are often the first impression you make on potential employers and clients online. They show you take your work seriously, setting a positive tone for potential connections or employers. The right image communicates professionalism, approachability and trust. 

  • Stand out in a competitive market
    A professional headshot helps support your brand identity and set you apart from competitors. This is even more important for small businesses where you are the face behind the business. Knowing who you are buying from can build trust, likability and give you the edge over competitors.

  • Build a consistent brand
    Headshots can be used across multiple online platforms, like LinkedIn, social media, and your website. This helps build a consistent and recognisable brand.

  • Enhance your CV and portfolio
    A professional headshot adds a personal touch to your CV and portfolio and helps set you apart from others.

  • Supplement your brand or product
    A professional headshot helps communicate the right tone and style to attract your target audience. 

It’s worth investing in a professional image for all these reasons. Find out more about my approach to headshots or get in touch to book a session today.
