The Value of “Social Portraits” or “Profile Portraits” to you, your brand and your social media presence.

So many times, it is your presence on social media that forms your introduction — that all-important first impression. That’s why the photos of yourself on all your social media assets are vital to form the way people see you — as professional… or not, as reliable… or not, as artiulate and poised… or not. For example what does this photo tell you about the person:

What does it say about their social status, economic status, level of self-respect and self-care? About their reliability? A photo does not translate into just one set of words, but it does provide a WINDOW into the person, an impression. So smart people are caring enough about how they come across to others… their family and friends, their business asssociates, their friends.

ALL realtionship have trust as their foundation. That includes business realtionships. So do your social profile photos portray you as trusworthy, or as fun-loving, or as flakey, or as sloppy? The right portriat(s) will encourage peers and prospects to contact you. That translates into more friends, more oppotunieis, more deals done, and thus more financial income.

Your social profile portraits should be tailored to appeal to your target audience.

As a leading Dallas portrait photographer, I consider it my job to best CONNECT you, visually, with those you wish to associate with socially and do business with. The social media portraits and profile photos will be different for a banker vs a real estate agent vs a coreographer vs a personal fitness trainer vs a musician vs a fashion designer vs a hair stylist. Each profession has the corresponging imagery that tells people the level of professionality you operate at. Its time to be taken seriously, with seriously POSITIVE Dalas portraits.

Your social media portraits tell a visual story about what feel they can count on experiencing from you.

Think about your goals and act intentionally — with the end in mind. Are you trying to grow your audience? What KIND of audience, specifally is most ideal for you to associate/connect with through social media? People in the same profession as you (like a dancer or actor), or people looking to use the kinds of services you provide?

Tailor your photos on social media for the audience you most benefit from connecting with.

Or perhaps you want to show the outgoing, business-casual side of you, and leave an indoor or formal studio for a more vibrant business portrait.

This business portrait says you are confident and approachable.

Photos that show you in the course of your job are always relateable and draw the viewer in, feeling they could connect with your world.

On the job…

Are you a blogger? A social influencer? A writer?

Image is not everything… but it is ALMOST everything, LOL. But seriously image will INVITE the right audience IN, in to engage with you and your interestes and servives. The right image does not simply happen by magic, it is strategically created — the lighting, the pose, the context around the photo. Are we taking a photo of you in a corporate setting, a home setting, a workout setting? What about a package of photos to portray the sides of you that make your social media COME ALIVE?

What do you want your audience to FEEL about you?

What is the emotional takeaway people should experience from seeing your photo(s). That you are unassuming? Precise? Approachable? Important and successful? Confident? Joyful? Serious about results?
