Photography Checklist for Your Brand
To ensure your professional shoot translates perfectly to your website design, keep these technical tips in mind:
- Go Wide (Landscape): For your homepage, landscape orientation is a must. It allows us to scale the image across wide monitors and ensures your face isn’t hidden behind text.
- Give Us “Bleed” Room: Ask your photographer to leave extra background space around you. This “negative space” is where your headlines and buttons will live.
- Dress for the Future: Opt for classic, professional attire. If an outfit is “too trendy,” the photo might feel expired by next year.
-
Mix Your Orientations: * Landscape: Best for Homepages and Banners.
- Portrait: Best for Bio pages and “About Me” sections.
- Quality over Convenience: While phones are great for stories, we need high-resolution, retouched files for your primary brand assets to ensure they look sharp on every screen.
Why skip the stock photos?
While stock photos are budget-friendly, they lack the authenticity that builds trust with your audience. A personalized shoot allows you to control the location, the vibe, and most importantly, puts a face to the name of your business.
