What if you’re nervous or simply don’t like getting photographed?
I don’t really like getting photographed either, so I feel your pain.
I tell my client, who’s in front of the camera to pretend like they’re an actor
and they’re either on a photoshoot or in front of the camera, getting ready to play a part in a movie.
That particular character is super confident, it’s kinda a way to step outside of yourself a little bit, might be kind of fun for you, but it usually gets my clients to bring all the confidence that they need.
So however you get to confident we need you to get there and I’ll help you with it in front of the camera.
I want you to own this experience, own what you’re wearing, own your skillset, so that when people look at your photo, they know you can do the job.
But there’s the other side, you also wanna look approachable, likable, and the way to do that is usually with a smile.
You wanna let people know that you’d be great to work with; competent, confident, and approachable.
That’s usually the best starting point for most professional headshots.
Practicing really helps too.
So spend a couple of minutes in front of a mirror,
Competent, confident, and approachable.
Remember, it’s all about you and your personal brand.
Whichever photographer you use, they should be asking you questions up front to find out the exact style of photos that you’re looking for so that you end up with exactly what you need.
