A LinkedIn Tip

We like to share one of our favorite LinkedIn tips. This is a good one. "The picture must look like you. Even if you really want to look like George Clooney, you're stuck with yourself."⠀
⠀
We get Mr. Clooney or Mrs. Bündchen a lot at our photo shoots and of course we all laugh and take it as a joke. The truth though is we are super critical about ourselves. We don't like our smile, we think it's crooked, our cheeks are too big, one eye is bigger than the other, we wish we had more hair... ⠀
⠀
In the end that's just the little voice in your head speaking. No one else looks at us that critical. We don't care about these things. Our eyes and minds are not trained that way. What we care about is "can we trust that person helping us with our upcoming project", "can we see this person being part of our team". Do you think because you are starting to bold or your smile is uneven you wouldn't get hired? There are plenty of those out there and guess what they have jobs and they are ruling the world so get over your insecurities and own your next interview, client meeting, presentation or photo shoot.

Today’s Throwback Thursday is from last September taken in New Jersey

Today’s #tbt is from last September taken in New Jersey.

Once in a while we work with a client where we get to speak some #German. The person setting up these photo sessions was sitting in #Mannheim. The VP onsite lived in Switzerland for a period of time and also spoke a little German. He enjoyed being able to practice his German a little bit during his photo shoot. 

This was an annual company kick off meeting where employees from remote locations were onsite. The opportunity presented itself to get everybody’s headshots updated to represented the company in their best light.

We arrived in NJ the day before to scout out the location. We hired a local photo assistant recommended by one of our clients who lived in the area. We drove down to the location so we were able to save our client some money on travelling expenses and equipment rental.

The day of the photo shoot we were able to capture the staff photos outside as you can see in this photo. We also had to capture the leadership team in 3-4 different settings, regular headshots and action shots.

You really get to bond with a company’s team working with them all day.

That’s what we really love about our job.

How did we get this job? Word-of-mouth. We worked with this PR company a year ago and they liked our work and our professionalism.

Photo Fabulous Tips - How To Be More Relaxed and Confident At Your Photo Session | Tip 3

Hate to have your Photo Taken?
Yes, not everybody, I should say most of us, don't belong to the selfie's all day category. We shy away from having our photo taken, we slip into the background during group photos, we don't even like to look at our own photos. It might be that we simply feel we are not photogenic, we could maybe loose some weight, we aged so much, too many wrinkles, or we don't like our teeth, our smile is uneven, one eye closes more than the other, we heard it all and we understand.

That's why we recommend you work with a professional photographer that can coach you through a photo shoot, makes you feel confident and at ease when you have your photo taken. Because there is no such thing has "not photogenic". We all radiate light and a good photographer can show you how. 

Let us help you feel more confident the next time you have your photo taken with our Tip #3. Take this tip with you to your next photo shoot and please leave us your feedback. What did this tip do for you? Did you find it helpful?
