Do I Really Need a Brand Photoshoot If I'm Just Using LinkedIn?
Let’s be honest — when you’re updating your LinkedIn profile, booking a professional brand photoshoot probably isn’t top of your to-do list. You might be thinking:
“It’s just LinkedIn… isn’t a decent selfie enough?”
But here’s the thing:
If you’re using LinkedIn to build your business, get hired, or connect with potential clients — the way you show up matters. Especially your photo.
And no, it doesn’t need to be stiff, corporate, or awkward.
💡 First Impressions Still Count (Even Online)
On platforms like LinkedIn, your photo is often the first thing people see — before they read your headline or even click your profile. If you want to be taken seriously, your image needs to do some heavy lifting:
Show your personality
Build trust
Reflect your industry
A strong photo isn’t about being polished — it’s about being intentional. You can still look creative, relaxed, or edgy — as long as it’s deliberate.
🎓 What If You're a Recent Graduate?
This one comes up all the time:
“I’ve just graduated. Should I wait until I’m more established?”
Here’s my take: if you’re applying for jobs or starting your own thing, now’s the perfect time. A professional photo:
Gives you confidence
Helps you stand out from others just leaving uni
Shows potential employers or clients you’re serious about your career
And don’t worry — I won’t make you sit on a stool in a grey blazer. Every shoot I do is tailored to your personality and goals.
👩🎨 What If You’re a Creative?
Hate the idea of a “corporate” headshot? Same.
Brand shoots aren’t just for suits. Whether you’re an artist, designer, writer, or indie business owner, your shoot should reflect your unique style. We can:
Shoot in a quirky café or studio
Use props or tools of your trade
Focus on creative details like your sketchbook, workspace, or process
It’s about showing how you do what you do — not just what you look like.
🧠 Is It Worth It?
If you’re using LinkedIn for:
Getting freelance clients
Being hired by a dream company
Growing your visibility
...then yes — a branding photo is 100% worth it. It sets the tone, shows professionalism, and helps people remember you.
