Headshots Are Not Just for Standard Professions

Not everyone works as an accountant, lawyer, doctor, party planner, retailer, salesperson, or other corporate professional. Many people make amazing careers for themselves out of working in the trades. Contractors (electricians, plumbers, general contractor, etc.), actors, musicians, athletes, civil servants (police officers, firefighters, municipal workers), and others make careers out of working outside of an office. However, the nature of your career does not mean that you do not need a great professional headshot to help get your name and face out to your professional audience. 

Many people associate professional headshots for those in the "professional" corporate sector. However, headshots are part of your branding, no matter the industry. Therefore, your marketing depends on the ability to for you provide an amazing and professional headshot to help people put a face to a name. 

Actors, Musicians, and Athletes and the Headshot

Headshots are standard practice in the entertainment industry. Professional actors, musicians, and athletes need headshots for auditions, tryouts, and more. Imagine going for a major audition and having a printout of a cellphone picture with your contact information written on the back. Even some of the greatest entertainers of all-time would not get a second chance with that type of photo resume.

A professional headshot is needed to help you sell yourself in these professions. Once you get the part or the gig, you then need a professional headshots for advertisements and your online profiles. Without a professional headshot, you will be left on the cutting room floor with all the other actors, musicians, and athletes that didn't make the cut. 

Headshots and the Tradesperson

You may not think a tradesperson (plumber, electrician, general contractor, mechanics, etc.) would benefit from a headshot. however, you would be wrong. trades people compete with one another by ensuring they are not only the best at what they do, but are well-known and trusted by their clients and others in the industry. One way to gain trust is to get your face out to the public. Headshots are a wonderful way to incorporate your face with your branding.

When it comes to letting contractors into their business, homes, or cars, people want to use someone they trust. They are more likely to trust a person who looks like the person next door as opposed to a flashy logo and tagline. Moreover, these headshots can be part of your website, business cards, and cv to help spread the word of your business. You will give people a sense of peace when they answer the door to their home or business and see a face they recognize. 

Headshots an Civil Servants

Did you know that many fire stations and police departments keep headshots of employees on file? They may se these headshots when an officer or firefighter does something amazing and gets in the news. They may also use them when something unthinkable happens. Headshots for civil servants are a great way to recognize the men and women that protect our neighborhoods, streets, and homes from crime and danger. These headshots can be used to give the public peace of mind and let them "know" the people hired to protect them.
