What’s the point of having a professionally taken headshot when everyone has a phone and camera and can take one for free?
Well, it looks unprofessional, and makes you look like you do not take yourself seriously.
You wont have the best light, the best angle, the perfect expression to show off your personality, nor the right mood you want to convey. This is where a professional photographer shines, and does their job well. A photographers value is not just their ability to use expensive equipment which creates quality images. The real value in a photographer is for their expertise in the way they position you, and their talent and training to to evoke those warm, spontaneous expressions which make you look approachable, friendly and professional. They capture and help you create the appropriate body language that visually says what you want it to.
You don’t get second chances to make a first impression. Show people that you care about the details, and how you want to inspire confidence in others. Make sure you show yourself in your best possible light – a professionally taken headshot is vital and often the first impression of you.
