The short answer is a big Yes! It is now understood that when reading anything the first thing you will look at is the photo. It doesn’t matter if this is in print, on social media or just a website. The image is the first thing we notice and it is the main contributor to your first impression of what you are seeing. Because of this, you want to make the best first impression possible. This is where it is really important to have a professional headshot photographer help you with your photo. You see, all photographs are not created equal. Simply smiling to the camera or asking someone to “say cheese” does not work. Your expression, smile, lighting, camera position, lens (and more) need to work together to send out the correct message. Have you ever looked at someone’s photo and said to yourself “I don’t trust them”. This may not be an accurate representation of that person but it may be the one they are projecting.

So the answer to the question is YES. If you have a presence on social media, website or anything else that requires a photo you need to take this seriously. A professional headshot photographer will help you get the exact image you are after.
