Taking pictures of yourself is fun. Everybody does it now-a-days, just look at all the selfies on Facebook! Taking your own picture to share with friends on Facebook and other social media is fine, but when it comes to business…not so much. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and that’s why you need a professional headshot!

Photos: Amateur vs Professional

The differences between an amateur headshot and a professional is that an amateur photo looks…well…amateur, home-made, unprofessional, cheap, and makes it look like you just don’t care, and if you don’t care, why should anybody else?

A professional photographer, on the other hand, can capture you in the best light, at the best angle, and highlight certain features as well as your personality. They have the proper lighting so your skin doesn’t look orange, or washed out. They can capture that gleam in your eye.

You pay a professional photographer not just because they have the right equipment, but because they have the patience, personality, skill, and creativity to position you in various ways, depending on the message you want to send; to evoke responses from you that make you look approachable and friendly while still looking professional. You pay them to create quality images.

Their professional expertise will go a long way whether you are getting photos taken for a business, or for the job market. A professionally taken headshot is your one chance to impress, make it good!
