Headshot or branding image? What is the difference anyway?

Simply put, professional headshots are a way to put faces with names. These are typically focused on the upper body on a simple plain backdrop. ⁠

Everyone can use a good headshot. Humans naturally draw attention and connection towards eyes and faces; having professional profile images are a simple and effective way to introduce you. ⁠

Branding photography is a step up from headshots. Personal brand photos help to tell stories that go beyond just who you are; they share why you do what you do, introducing viewers to your business' personality and style as well as values which helps you attract the best clients for you. ⁠

Branded images give a sense of authenticity by investing thoughtfulness into a brands' message in an intentional way.⁠
