Five Reasons Your Team Needs Updated Corporate Headshots
When was the last time your team updated their professional headshots?
If you have to stop and think about it, there's a good chance it's time for an update.
Your team's photographs appear in more places than you may realize—your company website, LinkedIn profiles, social media, press releases, proposals, presentations and marketing materials.
Your employees represent your business. Their photographs should reflect the same level of professionalism as the work they do.
Here are five reasons to update your corporate headshots.
1. Your Team Is Part of Your Brand
People connect with people.
When a potential client visits your website and sees your team, those photographs contribute to their first impression of your company.
Professional, consistent headshots communicate that your business pays attention to detail and takes its professional image seriously.
2. People Change
Hair changes. Style changes. Faces change.
Someone may have had their headshot taken several years ago, but today they may look noticeably different.
If a client meets someone in person and their photograph looks nothing like them, the photograph is no longer doing its job.
Your professional image should represent who you are now.
3. Consistency Creates a More Professional Image
One employee has a selfie.
Another has a photograph taken outdoors.
Someone else has an old studio portrait.
Another has a cropped wedding photograph.
Individually, these photographs may be perfectly fine. Together, they can make a company's website look inconsistent.
A coordinated corporate headshot session creates visual consistency across your team while still allowing each person's personality to come through.
4. Your Employees Need Professional Images Too
Corporate headshots aren't only for the company website.
Your employees may use their photographs on LinkedIn, email signatures, speaking engagements, professional profiles, conference materials and other business platforms.
Providing your team with updated professional photographs gives them images they can confidently use wherever they represent themselves professionally.
It also reinforces that your people are an important part of your brand.
5. Your Business Is Growing
New employees join. People move into leadership positions. Departments expand. Roles change.
Your team photographs should evolve with your business.
Rather than waiting until your website looks outdated, consider making professional headshots part of your company's regular brand maintenance.
What Makes a Good Corporate Headshot?
A great corporate headshot isn't simply a photograph of someone looking at a camera.
Lighting, expression, posing, background, wardrobe and professional retouching all contribute to the final image.
Most importantly, the person should look approachable, confident and authentic.
The goal isn't for everyone to look identical.
The goal is for your team to look like they belong together while allowing each individual to look like themselves.
