HEADSHOTS
vs.
PERSONAL BRANDING
You may have heard both of these terms and wondered what is the difference,
and what type of photography would be best for my purposes?
Generally speaking, if you work for someone else, say a corporation or mid-sized small business, you are likely looking for a HEADSHOT. A clean crisp image usually cropped between elbows and the shoulders. Simple background, focused on the face. When you are employed by a company, they have their own branding, so no "personal branding" is necessary. They are looking to produce a united, team image. A great headshot will capture an authentic expression, convey the desired mood, and represent you in the best light possible.
PERSONAL BRANDING is essential for individuals who have their own business, creatives, coaches, bakers, any small business or entrepreneur who is looking to stand out in their respective field. It goes beyond (but of course will include) a magnificent headshot, to a cohesive collection of excellent visuals which encompass and reflect your mood, personality, character, all make for a solid & stronger overall brand. It is the welcome mat to come and do business with you. Well done personal branding will distinguish you from the crowd, connect with your audience and make them feel something. People want to do business with people. They want to see and know who you are.
You are Your Brand
How are you showing up in the world? What are you saying to your client or potential client with the visuals you are displaying? I don't have to tell you that the business world is becoming more and more internet based, but it is important to mention that merely showing up, having a presence is not making good use of the opportunity to reach a limitless audience... maybe bigger than you had ever dreamed possible.

"My experience with Val at
Urban Couture Photography far exceeded my expectations. It wasn't just a photoshoot, it was an experience. I not only have personal branding photos that capture me as a person, and a professional, but I also have the memory of such a fun and positive experience. From start to finish, the process was truly hassle-free."
~Paige Harnish, LISW CIMHP
"I loved everything about my shoot with Val.
I didn't have to stress about clothes, hair or makeup.
It was full service from the very beginning. It truly felt like a magazine shoot and I felt beautiful and empowered not only by the experience but by my stunning photos. I genuinely wish I could gift everyone
the experience of being in front of Val's camera!"
