Never before has personal branding been more important. In the digital age, more and more people are carving out a profile online that serves as the basis for their career – and working with a personal branding photographer can help you be successful in that venture.
Of course, just hiring a random personal branding photographer and expecting great results probably isn’t realistic. You’ll need to have a clear plan for how your personal branding photographer is going to fit within what you want to do with your brand and the people you want to reach. Let’s take a closer look at this with five tips below.
Clearly Define Your Brand
You aren’t going to know exactly what you want to get out of your session with a personal branding photographer unless you first have a clear vision of what your brand is going to be. Only when you are clear on the direction that your brand is going to go will you be able to help the photographer produce results that you love and are useful across all marketing channels.
Choose the Correct Setting
The setting you choose to use when working with a personal branding photographer is going to say a ton about who you are and what your brand represents. Do you want to be out and about in one of the many great locations San Jose has to offer? Would you prefer to be in a studio for a controlled, professional aesthetic? Whatever the case, if I’m selected as your personal branding photographer, I’ll be happy to help you find just the right spot to take these pictures.

Be Consistent Across All Platforms
Once you have finished working with your personal branding photographer and are ready to put these new visual assets to use, be sure to use them consistently across all of the platforms you frequent. You don’t want to update some digital profiles with your new images while keeping some of them stuck on old pictures – that will bring doubt into the mind of the potential client or customer and may cause them to move on to another option.
Get Creative with Marketing Efforts
As a starting point, you can use the images provided by your personal branding photographer to do things like update your LinkedIn and Instagram profiles – but that should just be a starting point. There is far more that you can do with quality, professional images, so be creative in your marketing pursuits and use these pictures in as many different places as possible. You never know where you’ll be able to drum up more business!
