Posing Tips For Your Branding Session

head shot, posing ideas, preparing for a branding photo shoot.

If having your photos taken feels a little unnerving, I get it. Unless you are a professional model, most of us feel a bit uncomfortable having our picture taken. But friend, you do not need to worry. The best and most consistent feedback I receive from my clients is that I made them feel at east in front of my camera. They are all surprised that it wasn’t so bad and actually admit to having fun.

That said, here are a few tips to help you prepare and hopefully make you feel a bit more relaxed when you have your photos taken.

  1. Understand your brand: Before the photoshoot, take the time to understand your personal brand and what message you want to convey through the photography. This will help guide your posing and expressions.
  2. Practice your poses: Practice different poses in front of a mirror or with a friend to get a feel for what feels natural and confident for you.
  3. Keep good posture: Good posture can make a big difference in how you appear in photos. Stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, and engage your core.
  4. Show some personality: Personal branding photography is meant to showcase your personality and unique style. Let that shine through in your poses and expressions.
  5. Dress appropriately: Dress in a way that reflects your personal brand and that you feel comfortable in. When you wear clothing that feels like “you,” it is much easier to look relaxed in front of the camera.

Overall, you don’t need to worry. My goal, as your photographer is to create a calm, relaxed environment where you won’t even have to think about posing. That is what I’m here for!
