Outdoor Headshots/Executive Portraits
Most Executive Portraits are done in the office, at the same time as your headshots. But for some service professionals in Sydney, showing off your location makes a lot of sense and can lift your brand when done well.
While headshots are used to capture attention in a directory or team page, Executive Portraits are used to convey your authority, professionalism, and leadership, as well as show off your personality. We do this by showing more of you, with a half body or 3/4 body shot.
Executive portraits are traditionally used a high level executive or manager. Therefore by having an Executive Portrait done, you can associate yourself with this image of professionalism and leadership.
You will see this done most prominently in the Real Estate industry. A Bondi agent will have photographs in front of Bondi Beach. A Coogee agent will want to have Coogee Beach behind them. Showing a recognisable location in your business portrait builds a connection with locals.
Branding Portraits in the outdoors are also great for coaches and inspirational professionals. When you’re not office bound, you can express your creativity and inventive side more easily. You can create a library of looks outside, from which you can pick different looks to suit the particular message you want to convey.
From Formal to Relaxed
Being outdoors you can also show a bit of a relaxed image. After the formal poses, we will take you around and show your friendly and approachable side. Create a series of different feels for different usages.
Even in a single location, you can get a wide variety of feels just by small changes in angle and direction. Talk to us about our favorite locations in the Eastern Suburbs.
Show yourself as the local go-to professional. Confident, competent, and someone you can trust in.
Sunrise & Sunset
We’ve all seen a beautiful sunrise or sunset, and wanted to get a good photo in front of it. If you use a phone, you probably would have ended up with a dark silhouette or the sky so bright you couldn’t see any details.
This is where professional lighting comes in to achieve the look we want. In this shot, the sun is behind him – he should be a shadow. His whole body is being lit by our lights.
It’s carefully balanced, so that it looks clean and crisp, with a little pop so he stands out from the background. When you look at the photograph, you don’t realise there should be no light from the front. You just see a friendly professional in your neighbourhood.
With professional lighting we have no problems selecting the location we want and looking awesome.
