+ What is a business portrait?
A business or executive portrait (also known as a publicity shot or a headshot) is an important business tool for conveying your identity to the public. They are used for public relations, business cards, websites, brochures, press releases and for social network profiles. TEST of TIME PHOTOGRAPHY takes the time to produce high quality portraits, images that convey your success and credibility.
+ Why do I need a business portrait?
A well lit, thoughtfully composed business portrait is a valuable tool because it represents you and your company. It is a great device to connect you with your customers, and to make a positive and lasting impression. A good business portrait is a necessity, not an option, for business success.
+ How can I use my business portrait?
Every business person can benefit from the inclusion of a professionally made business portrait in all of their communications. Your image should be included in all of your advertisements and marketing materials. A photo should be placed in all of your social networking sites like Linked-in and Facebook.
A portrait on your business card is a great way to get your clients and prospects to remember you. People like to buy from people they know and a great portrait is a powerful method to become familiar.
+ Can I have my executive portrait made where I work?
First of all it we understand how busy you are and we loffer the convenience of coming to you. We will set up the shoot at your location to make the least impact on your time.
Your location may offer more photographic possibilities. We shoot standard “studio shots” with a background during your on-location business portrait session. Then we also like to shoot a variety of images we describe as “environmental” portraits. These portraits use your surroundings to provide the viewer some information about you and to reveal more of your individuality. The studio look is helpful for many uses but the environmental business portraits are a customized product that really stands out,
+ What should I wear to my business portrait session?
We provide a comprehensive guide to preparing for your portrait session when you book your session with Test of Time Photography. In general we have a few tips to help you plan your portrait sitting.
Our goal is to make a portrait that draws the viewer’s attention to your eyes and face making your wardrobe and the background secondary visual elements. When selecting wardrobe for your business portrait sessions choose items that match your professional status. A lawyer should wear a suit not gym clothes, while a fitness trainer would look appropriate in the workout clothes. Consider the impression you want to make.
Part of our service is to have a phone consultation prior to your session that will help you plan the looks you want to achieve and answer any questions you may have.
