WORTH IT OR TRASH IT? | Why Hire Me for Your CONFERENCE HEADSHOTS

CONFERENCE HEADSHOTS

Let’s talk about it. Here’s the deal, not all headshots are equal. I have MANY people tell me they do not like their current photo, or worse, they NEVER used the one taken at a recent conference or work event.

Let’s get into it….

TOP 5 REASONS WHY For NOT GREAT HEADSHOT EXPERIENCE

Here are the reasons clients have told me they won’t use them.

1. Not Prepared: The attendee was unaware headshots were being offered, but wanted to give it a go. Their hair color is uneven, their complexion isn’t as smooth, makeup isn’t finished, and most importantly, they are not rested or hydrated.

2. Lack of Photographer Experience: As the saying goes, you usually get what you pay for, so sometimes photographers are unsure how to handle the average person, or someone who is uncertain altogether. Knowing how to set someone at ease takes time to learn.

3. Inaccurate Skin Tone: A person’s skin tone must be accurately represented. This can be a diffcitul thing to learn, but is a MUST. If it is inaccurate, the attendee won’t feel confident pushing to upload the headshot.

4. Lack of Quality Setup: Not all light is equal. Attendees often do not know what color the backdrop will be and plan the wrong or same color for their wardrobe.

5. Unsettled - Attendees can feel unsettled for many reasons. Anxiety about photos is often the reason why.

   5 SOLUTIONS For EXCEPTIONAL HEADSHOT EXPERIENCE

   1. Preparation: Event planners MUST communicate headshots are being offered AND I recommend showing the photographer’s samples that will represent what the attendee will experience & receive.

   2. Experience: Select a Photographer who can create the best photos possible. Review their full portfolio, looking at all types of headshots to make the best choice.

   3. Social Media: Review to ensure the photographer has a quality setup to see the options they offer & if that person would be a great fit for your project.

   4. Skin Tones: Find a photographer who works with a range of skin tones. All skin tones have ranges of yellows/blues/oranges/greens and so on. Authentic skin tones are important for a quality representation.

   5. From the Start: Your photographer can offer you solutions to help your attendees settle before the event. Happy to chat with you about what I offer to ensure this result!
