I want to take a few minutes today and talk about the importance of fun. Even for a corporate shoot like this one. Maybe even especially for a professional image portrait session. I hear over and over again from the people who come in, how much they hate having their photo taken. And as they shake my hand on the way out (and sometimes even hug me goodbye) many of them admit that our photography session was ‘not so bad’. Some even admit it ‘was really kind of fun!’.
My philosophy is that it is equally, if not MORE, important that we have a good time together. If we can do that, we are going to get back some great photos that feel authentically you. Lets forget perfect and shoot for perfectly you.
Here are a few outtakes from a recent corporate headshot session for the HearTell team. Outtakes that show how a little bit of fun can lead to headshots that are interestingly and authentically you. Outtakes that may actually be featured prominently on the pages of HearTell Branding Collective’s website in the future.
