Preparing for a personal branding shoot can seem a little daunting! That’s why I’ve prepared this Frequently Asked Questions post to help.
1 - What should I wear to my session?
My style of photography favours neutral and jewel colours as I find these best match most skin tones. Avoid black and white, bright colours and heavy patterns or bold logos. I encourage you to choose colours that reflect your business and brand. Also see this post: https://www.novasoma.com/blog/2020/4/9/what-to-wear-for-a-professional-portrait
2 - What can I expect from this session?
Expect to be fully guided and posed during our session together. I believe that this is part of my job to make you feel comfortable and to guide you how to look your best. I’m here to help you!
3 - What location should I choose?
This really depends on your business, the brand image you want to portray and who you want to work with. Depending on the available space and lighting, I am happy to come and set up and shoot at your home / office / other location. Alternatively, I can suggest several affordable location and studio spaces for hire.
4 - What else should I bring with me to the shoot?
I encourage you to think about the small details and accessories that represent you and your business. Think: laptop, phone, business cards, reading glasses, notebooks, etc. I am more than happy to help you brainstorm a personalised list of items before your photo shoot.
5 - What about my hair and makeup?
Having professional hair and makeup done can make a significant difference to your final images. I can recommend the names of several different Hair and Makeup Artists or you are welcome to book your own.
6 - What is the best time for the session?
Times are flexible during a personal branding photography session and dependent on the location of the shoot. If we are shooting at a specific venue or outdoor location, we may need to adapt the time to suit the location and light. We can confirm the best time when we finalise your shoot details.
7 - Am I able to choose which images I want?
Absolutely! I firmly believe in giving you images that you love and will use. Once the session is over, I will send you an online “proof” gallery where you will be able to view all images from our session and pick the ones you want. If you find you want more images, you will have the option to purchase more or all.
8 - When can I expect to receive my final images?
Once you have selected your favourite images the proof gallery, your final photos will be delivered within a 2-week timeframe via a high-resolution online gallery. You will be able to download these images into two different formats – Original and Web. High Resolution (Original Size) and Web size (2048px).
