Getting past the camera nerves 😳

29 Jan

Most people I talk to about photoshoots tell me they start out feeling a little nervous about having their photo taken. Does this sound familiar?

Its probably no surprise then that lots of business owners tell me the same thing, and that it can make it harder for them to show up online, to be the face of their brand.

I completely get it as I felt the same way myself. It's one of the reasons I love being a specialist Brand Photographer.

Here's what I've found from working with my business clients... That the photosession is only a part of the process to get great images to elevate your online brand presence.

You see a great Brand Photoshoot starts a long way before we get near a camera. It begins with taking the time to understand you, your values and ethos, your business, your ideal customer, your branding, and most important your WHY. What your superpower is. What motivates you to make a difference to your customers.

The magic starts to happen once we understand your story, it's the most important step on the journey we take together from enquiry to photoshoot and beyond.

The feedback from my clients tells me we're going the right way. That we're able to boost confidence in front of a camera, break down barriers to having a consistent online presence, elevate their brand and empower them to show up as the face of their brand.

I leave you with a testimonial from a valued client, Michele. And in her words 'don't hesitate to give Michael a call!'

Michael Thorn Photography is amazing - l had never had a brand photoshoot before, and I was nervous! Michael was patient and reassuring, and worked tirelessly through my list of "must-haves".
We had done a lot of preparation over the phone previously, Michael had guided me through talking about what I wanted and really listened to how I see my reflexology business, what I want my clients to know and feel about it. He came up with great suggestions about props and colours to pull everything together, so I was able to prepare well for the afternoon.
It was a truly inspiring experience - I have enough material now to showcase my business over the next couple of years at least.
If you have ever thought about a brand photoshoot, don't hesitate - and don't hesitate to give Michael a call!
