A Guide To Posing For Branding Photos

If you’re looking to create branding photos for your business, it’s important to pay attention to the poses and expressions you use. These photos will be representing your brand, so you want to ensure that they convey the right message and make a positive impact on your audience. Here are some tips for selecting poses and expressions for your branding photos.

First, think about the message you want to convey with your photos. Do you want to come across as friendly and approachable, or professional and authoritative? Depending on your brand’s personality, different poses and expressions may be more appropriate.

When selecting poses, consider your body language. Standing with your arms crossed, for example, can convey defensiveness or closed-off behavior. On the other hand, standing with your arms open can convey openness and approachability. Consider the angles of your body and the placement of your limbs to create a pose that feels natural and comfortable.

When it comes to expressions, think about the emotions you want to convey. A smile can convey friendliness and approachability, while a serious expression can convey professionalism and authority. Consider your audience and the message you want to send when selecting an expression.

Practice various poses at home to become comfortable with them.  Fashion and lifestyle magazines as well as Pinterest and Google are great resources for finding poses you like and that will work well for not only your niche, but your body type as well.  Your photographer is also a great resource when it comes to guiding you during your session.  Most professional photographers know what poses come across great on camera and will help you come up with posing ideas during your session.

Remember, your branding photos are an important part of your brand’s visual identity. Take the time to plan out your poses and expressions to ensure that they accurately represent your brand and make a positive impact on your audience. With the right poses and expressions, you can create branding photos that leave a lasting impression.

Charlotte Branding Photography Session 

 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…whenever my fellow photography sisters choose me to capture their branding sessions I’m always elated and so VERY honored!  I’ve worked with Sierra of Sierra Collins Photography several times over the years and each session just gets better and better.  Sierra wanted this session to show the business owner and woman she is now and I think we truly captured that.

When booking a branding session that allows for multiple wardrobe changes I always encourage my clients to wear something casual, something a bit more dressed up (whatever that feels like for you and the particular industry you’re in) and something fun and I think Sierra absolutely NAILED it with her looks!

Sierra is a Greenville, SC based wedding photographer (and she also dabbled in branding videography so if you ever book a branding shoot with me let me know that you’d like to add video onto your package and we’ll get Sierra to join us!) so she decided to make a fun weekend out of her branding session by booking a room in Charlotte for the weekend.  Her makeup was done by my team MUA Whitney Elise Beauty and we shot in the bright and airy Daylight Room located in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood.  I wanted to capture Sierra’s beautiful personality, but also the more quiet side to who she is.  So of course a mix of laughter and more reflective moments were in order.

The session turned out to be even more amazing than I envisioned!  She looked stunning and brought ALL of the good vibes to her session.  If you’re in the Charlotte area or are willing to travel for some updated branding images then I’d love to hear from you!  Contact me today at [email protected] or fill out the form on my Contact Page and let’s connect and create some magic together!

Photographing Your Products In A Branding Photoshoot

Photographing Your Products In A Branding Photoshoot

 

Photographing products during a branding photoshoot is a crucial aspect to showcase your brand’s message and identity. It’s essential to ensure the products are photographed in a way that highlights their unique qualities and features. Here are some tips to make sure your products are shot perfectly during a branding photoshoot.

Firstly, it’s important to understand the purpose of your photoshoot and the message that you want to convey through your products. This will help you decide on the style and tone of the photos, which should align with your brand’s identity. Once you have a clear understanding, you can proceed to create a shot list that includes all the products you want to display and the angles and lighting required.  It’s important to convey this to your photographer in advance of the session so they’re clear on your vision.

Secondly, make sure the products are clean and shiny, as they need to look their best on camera. Ensure that the products are styled in a way that complements the overall aesthetic of the photoshoot.  You can do this by providing your photographer additional props to use in the styling of the product (for candles, think snuffer, ingredients that make up the scent, etc).  If you’re not available during the shoot day, make sure your hired photographer has the right tools on hand to create the images you envision.

Photographing products during a branding photoshoot is a vital aspect of showcasing your brand’s identity. Make sure you understand the purpose of your photoshoot, create a shot list, and take the time to clean and style your products correctly. Lastly, makes sure to give yourself enough time to capture these images.  A quick 30 minute session will likely not be enough time to capture the branding session itself as well as your products so make sure to allot plenty of time for each of those aspects so you’re not rushed during your session.
