Promoting yourself requires a variety of visuals, from your resume that documents every accomplishment to a business card that lists your social media accounts. Another essential feature is the professional headshot. This unique form of photography can instantly boost your career.

Why You Should Commission Professional Headshots

1. First Impression

Sometimes, all it takes is a look to know a person is right for the job. However, since most applications are done online, establishing that face-to-face connection is difficult. Going the extra mile to provide a quality image of yourself produces a positive impression of your work ethic and could increase your chances of landing an interview.

2. Preparation

You never know when someone is going to ask for a headshot. They might want to keep it on file with your resume for future reference or utilize the image for an upcoming marketing campaign.

Whatever the case, having a few already on hand is convenient. It’s much easier to send a copy of the file than set up an entire photoshoot for a single request.  

3. Specific Brand

Headshots can boost a customer’s confidence in your expertise. For instance, to create a more welcoming appearance, realtors might want to feature a house in the background and have a smile on their face. Lawyers, on the other hand, might want to show that they’re serious about pursuing the truth by forgoing the smile and having something more neutral in the background, such as an office chair or a bookshelf.
