Now that camera technology is so simple and easily accessible, many companies do their own business headshots for their employees. While that does save time and money, it can sometimes backfire. In this blog post, I’m going to address the reasons why you should hire a professional headshot photographer to do your business headshots.

Puts a Face to Your Company

The faces of you and your employees are who people want to see. At the end of the day, it’s not just what your product is but who sells it that also matters. By showing your employee’s faces on your website, you’re creating a sense of trust with the public. Before people purchasing products of service from you, they need to trust you. Meantime, the quality of the photos will have a direct impact on your brand. It signals. how you conduct business.

A good first impression

Living in the Internet world. Many times, the first impression comes from Google, social media or company’s websites other than face to face. Before people make decision to do business with you, they will look you up on the internet. You headshots will be like your internet logo. People are more likely to remember your face than your name. The quality of your business headshots will have a direct impact on people’s first impression about you and your business.

Show your professionalism

People judge you on your appearance. The first few seconds of seeing you will have a huge impact on how people think of you. Professional headshots look better than any selfies or other photos we take of ourselves. This professional look shows that you’re taking your business and yourself more seriously. A professional photographer can help you to convey the message that you want to send out to people. Professional headshots will make you and your brand more believable and trustworthy.

Shows You Believe in Quality 

By hiring a professional headshot photographer, you’re getting quality images. This also shows people that you’re invested in the company and do things the right way. Headshots is your brand. People will easily relate the quality of your headshots to your products and service. Show them you believe in quality.

You can use them elsewhere

Once you have staff photos for your website, you can use them elsewhere. If you have a newsletter then you could use them there for whoever writes an article. If you need ID cards for the building, then you’ve also got photos for that. The headshots can be used for things other than just a website or organization chart. 

Provides a fresh look

If your headshots are out of date, then this is a great reason to hire a photographer. New photos update your image and make your company look more modern. Lots of websites have old photos that are blurry and pixelated, so it’s great to take some headshots to get a fresh, new look.
