More than ever, in today’s business market a high-quality professional headshot is a one of the few, but vital pieces of marketing material you will need to succeed. It sets the stage for your clients’ perception of who you are and the level of professionalism you will bring to your work. Your image is your brand.
Do I really need a headshot if I am not a c-suite executive?
Yes, most definitely yes! A professional headshot is not just for the c-suite executives. The saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”, while charming, isn’t entirely plausible in the real world. The reality is that we are all judged, or perceived, by the way we look. A bit shallow, but it is true nonetheless. Especially when it comes to professional situations such as job interviews, networking, and marketing your brand. We only have a short amount of time to make a good first impression, usually within the first 10 seconds. That is why investing in a high-quality, professionally taken headshot is so valuable for your personal brand.
