headshots two ways

Meet Jenn, We Are Doodlebugs newest team member. She's so lovely and a great addition to this lovely team of people who really know their stuff. It was so great to get her in the studio to make sure she had headshots that matched with the rest of her team.

I always take corporate headshots on two backgrounds or with two different set ups. Why you might ask? Well, one headshot is not enough and anyone who tells you that really hasn't thought that hard about it!

If you think about it, we need professional pictures of us for lots of different locations and not every places targets the same market/demographic/style. For example, the sort of people you attract on LinkedIn are going to be different to Facebook, to instagram, to an editorial in a publication, to an email signature. You really do need imagery for all types of occasions.

You need some that are friendly and approachable and maybe a little more relaxed, some for a more formal look and maybe more serious. Also, have you thought about different settings? Some pages on a website are dark coloured so you need a lighter image for it to stand out and visa versa. If you put a lighter image on a light page, it'll be lost so a darker, more contrasting one usually works on lighter pages.

With We are Doodlebug they stick to a classic white but then also a dark blue backdrop that's been colour matched to their brand colours. Sleek, smart and professional yet approachable and friendly setting the right tone for their business.

If this is your one chance to impress somebody and 'stop the scroll' it's surely so important to get right.

Not only that, statistics show that changing your headshot regularly gains you more traction and gets you seen more on place like LinkedIn - who doesn't want extra exposure?

Thanks once again Jon and his team for trusting me with your headshots. It's always a pleasure and I'm so pleased that I can help you with your overall brand and business because you truly are fantastic at what you do!
