Karen has blogged about it before: Having a good portrait made of yourself is important no matter what profession you are in or ambitions you have.
First, you never know when the media might come a-calling wanting to feature you in an article like Fast Company did Domino’s Ramon DeLeon.
You’re doing yourself a favor, and the media outlet, by having a photo on hand. Because deadlines and budgets are tight, editors and producers don’t always have the resources for getting an image made for their stories. But if by chance they are able to assign a photographer to make your picture, there’s no guarantee you’ll like the image.
Second, to help maintain or enhance your professional reputation, having a strong, smart online presence is important. If you are using LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or other social media sites, you’re expected to include a picture of yourself. You’ll want to use one that communicates the qualities you want the public to know about you.
Because getting a portrait that work can be pricey, Kring Lerner Group is offering friends and colleagues good portraits at a good price during a rare portrait shoot.
Examples from our previous shoots are on Facebook. We have some special shoots in the works for 2012. They will include both studio and environmental portraits, the services of a stylist…and a little bit of fun.
Contact Karen for details.
I very much appreciate this headshot. It has been used all over the world.
Thank You
What a blast! Didn’t know that a headshot could be fun- so glad I came along. Now I can retire my headshot from ’07!
Karen here: It was fun working with you. We are so pleased that you like the images, which were all a little different, showing a slightly different part of you.
Wow – BizPics were really fun! Beautiful, funny, accomplished people, it was a delight to be among them. Many thanks to Steve Starr for the referral. Now I can update that 4 year old headshot with no shame!
Karen here again: Betsy, Isn’t the “dance” involved in making meaningful portraits interesting? We’ve found that whether the portraits are for personal or professional purposes, having some fun and even getting a silly is the way to make images of people that are authentic.
