So, how can a professional headshot help you?

Firstly, it’s important to note that first impressions often do count. Being able to make that positive impression right at the start of your meeting is really important and it will help you to stand out. When looking for a new job you need to keep in mind that you are up against it in terms of numbers, there might be hundreds or even thousands of people going for it. One of the best ways to give yourself more of a chance at success is being prepared and looking professional on all fronts. Having a good quality headshots gives the interviewer or human resources department the impression that you’ve gone above and beyond to make yourself stand out from the crowd.

One of the other big reasons that we often take LinkedIn headshots is for people wanting to attract the right attention on social media. If you’ve worked in an industry for a long time it’s possible that you have a good following of people, if that’s the case it might be time to upgrade your image (quite literally) to something that looks more professional. Having a new  LinkedIn profile picture can really help to further persuade people that you know what you’re talking about.

This is the same for those who are starting new businesses or applying to universities. You want to put your best foot forward and give people a reason to trust you. If you are a new business owner then having a good image is important for your growth, you will often be trying to sell yourself to people rather than the product!
