Which location is best for your personal branding photoshoot?
A personal branding shoot is a great way to visually tell your story to your audience. You can use it as your visual voice, to connect and build trust, and show your potential customers and clients how they can work with you. In this blog I’ll talk about some of the deciding factors about picking a location for your personal branding photoshoot, how your own home can be used as a multi-use space for your brand photoshoot and why using your own home will help you show up as the best version of you in your personal branding photos.
How do you pick a location for your personal branding photoshoot?
Your brand shoot location will act as the anchor to your branding photos. So consider using a place or space that reflects your brand values and your business. But most importantly, choose somewhere you’ll feel at ease, comfortable and able to show up as the best version of you for your brand photos. A professional personal branding photographer will have suggestions for shoot locations and with their experience, will be able to give you advice on what’s possible to achieve on a location shoot. You can take look at my portfolio to get some ideas.
Using your own home for your brand photoshoot
Choosing to have your personal branding photography shoot in your own home is a great way to bring together the different threads of your business. Various rooms and spaces in your home can be used to create different business scenarios and set-ups to help visually tell the story of your brand. You can use your desk or office space, your garden, your kitchen, your comfy chair and even the street or park nearby. The great thing about selecting your home for your personal branding shoot is you’ll end up with a large amount of images to use for your website and all your other content marketing for six months. (and more!)
What are the advantages of using your own home for your personal branding photoshoot?
Feel more relaxed in your own home = showing up as the best version of you in your photos.
More than likely have a home furnished or decorated in your brand aesthetics.
Have all your outfit changes and props to hand - so no need to lug a huge suitcase of stuff to a location.
Business & Marketing Coach Ruth Gilbey recently used my Shoot Your Brand service and decided to use her own home for her personal branding photoshoot. Ruth previously used my Styled Business Flat Lay service and this time she wanted to create a collection of personal branding photos that provided her audience with a peek behind-the-scenes of her business to share on her social media channels.
Online Business Manager Sarah Forde, was looking to add a set of personal branding images to her collection of Styled Business Flat Lays. We created shots of Sarah in her natural working environment, at her kitchen table, and even in her motorhome, Margot!
Marketing and Social Media Consultant Verity Coxon, wanted to use her new home and her garden as the backdrop for her personal branding photoshoot. We created a home office set-up in her dining room and used the garden for more relaxed and informal portraits.
I’m a personal branding photographer based in Leicestershire. Travel to a location outside of this area is in addition to my personal branding package prices.
