If youโre planning your first branding session or tenth, these are 3 helpful tips to make sure youโre ready to clearly communicate your brand and your business in your branding photoshoot! ๐ธ
1. PLAN
Create a Pinterest board with all your images for inspo. This is key to make sure your photoshoot is efficient and well worth it! When pinning on Pinterest, look for vibes & feelings along with colours and textures- not just posesโฆIโll take care of that part!
2. BRING PROPS
When it comes to branding photography, props are everything! This is how you show people what you do and this is your chance to show off and look good doing it. Using branded props is one of the easiest ways to elevate your photos to the next level. Here are some examples:
โ๏ธ Coffee mugs
๐ป Laptops
๐ฑ Phone
๐ Pens
๐ Books/notepads/journals
๐ง Tumblers
๐ชช Business cards/brochures
A few others that are more brand specific:
๐ Confetti/balloons
๐พ Champagne
๐งโโ๏ธYoga mat
๐ Keys
๐ชด Pillows or home decor
๐ธ Floral arrangements
3. CHOOSE YOUR OUTFIT
Choosing the right clothes โ color, texture, silhouette, etc โ goes a long way in elevating your brand and making sure your photos communicate your brandโs personality and vibe. What you choose to wear for your brand photography
session is incredibly important. You want to
look professional as well as approachable,
and you want to represent your brand. Dress how you normally would if
you were meeting with a client. Stay true to your own personal style while also keeping your brand aesthetic in mind.
One more tip to add:
๐ If you donโt love the way you do your own hair and makeup on a regular day, youโre really not going to like it in your branding images. Hiring a professional hair and makeup artist can give you that boost of confidence and make you feel your best for your photoshoot. Having someone handle your hair and makeup will help you feel more relaxed instead of stressing about getting ready the day of your shoot.
