Headshots vs Personal Branding Images

Headshots vs Personal Branding images – which choice is right for you? If you are thinking about getting some new professional photos you’ll need to decide which is the best fit. The headshots and personal branding section of my website here has more information. There are also some galleries with a few examples as well as several blog posts.

Headshots for LinkedIn profiles and Social Media, Milton Keynes

If you need an up to date image for your LinkedIn profile or other social media accounts, then you may only need a headshot session. These sessions are usually short. There may be time for a quick change of top, or a jacket on vs jacket off option. I will take a few images from different angles so you have choices. I often take these outdoors, people are more relaxed with a bit of fresh air.

Personal branding for entrepreneurs and small business owners

If you run a small business you need memorable messaging and eye-catching visuals in order to stand out from your competitors. A couple of headshots is not enough, you will need a range of images showcasing your personality and the services you offer.

We will work together to create a set of images that show who you are and what you do. Images that are unique to you.

I specialise in vibrant and impactful personal branding photography that captures your unique personality. I work with you on everything from clothing and props to location to craft the perfect set of images. These can be images for website and social profiles, but I can also take lots of images for a social media library. Images that connect with your customers on a personal level.

Corporate Headshots in Milton Keynes and Surrounding Areas

There are lots of different styles for corporate headshots. We can do outdoors shots in nature, or indoor headshots where we use the office environment. This will be different for different industries. Also, much like personal branding photos, corporate images need to capture the individual ethos and personality of each business.

The following images were taken for a legal firm in Leighton Buzzard. You can look at the website for Austin & Carnley Solicitors here. The office has an outdoor courtyard which was a perfect spot for photos. The outdoor location was also ideal because the company are very focussed on sustainability and also have a policy of planting trees. For each new instruction in a year, they plant a tree thereby creating a legacy for future generations.

Black and White Headshots in Urban Settings, Buckinghamshire

Black and white headshots can be ideal for a different style of headshot. They may not be appropriate for certain industries or website styles, but can work for some companies. Black and white can look more modern or gritty depending on the location and I think they work particularly well in urban or industrial settings.

Indoor Corporate Headshots, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire

When taking headshots in office environments, I prefer to think creatively rather than just take pictures against a plain background. I look around to see which areas might work well. Some offices are plainer than others so there isn’t much choice, but others have interesting decor, nice foyers or indoor plants that can be used as backdrops.

Here are a few examples.

If your company needs new photos, get in touch.

We can do standard headshots or interactive shots of your staff working. If you need personal branding shots rather than headshots we can have a more detailed planning session.
