Upgrade Your Online Presence with Professional Headshots

Your Online Profile Is Often Your First Impression

Since the Coronavirus pandemic, businesses have switched from an in-person model to an online business model. Instead of physical meetings, we conduct virtual meetings over Zoom, My Teams, Google Meets, or other online platforms. Instead of looking at a paper resume, businesses request your LinkedIn Profile link. Therefore, our online presence is our only chance to make a first impression.

You can choose to use a fun picture of some object. However, that does not give anyone an opportunity to see who you are and put a face to a name. Although we are doing business online more often, we still appreciate the ability to put a face to a name.

You want to put your best face out there for the world to see. You want to exude professionalism and confidence that only a quality headshot can exude. To put out the best possible image, you need professional help.

A professional headshot gives you the best opportunity to make a stellar first impression without ever saying a word. Learn more about why you should update your professional headshot for your online presence.

A Professional Headshot Puts Your Best Face Forward

Many people try to get away with using a selfie from a phone as their online photo. While phone cameras have come a long way, they do not compare to a professional photographer and their equipment.

Using a professional headshot for your online presence helps you stand out from the crowd. It is obvious when a photo is not a phone camera photo. A professional photo makes you look amazing on the other side of the camera. It allows you to put your best face forward without looking overly pretentious or out-of-touch with the average person's needs.

A Professional Headshot Shows That You Care About Your Job and Your Customers

Imagine if McDonald's used an iPhone 12 to take photos of its latest sandwich. They used those photos with Apple available filters in their advertising. It is almost guaranteed, the food will not look appealing, and the advertising will not help to sell the new sandwich.

Now use a professional photographer to stage a picture of the new sandwich. Let the photographer add their professional editing to the photos. The food suddenly looks appealing to everyone. The items in the sandwich did not change at all. However, the way in which it was presented changed dramatically. As a result, you have a product that people want to buy and try.

Your online presence can be described in the same manner. If you use your camera on your phone to take a picture and add your phone's filters, your headshot may look presentable. But it will not look appealing. It will not capture anyone's attention or make anyone want to know more about you.

However, with the help of a professional photographer, you are showing that you care enough about your business and your clients to go the extra mile and look more than presentable. You want to look amazing and like someone needs to know more about. When your customers see that you use your online presence to truly promote you and your business, they know you will put the same effort into helping them with their business.
