New York City Headshot and Personal Branding Photographer
Your business portraits should make you look confident, real and approachable. Do yours?
Clare Fisher Photography is a portrait studio centrally located in Manhattan between Penn Station and Times Square. Clare creates branding portraits and headshots for business professionals to use on their websites, social media, publications and personal use. Services offered include headshots, personal branding portraits and corporate portraits.
Everyone needs at least one headshot to use in this digital age whether it be for their online presence or for work. Most people however will need a few different headshots for multiple uses such as LinkedIn, their website, company facebook page, Facebook, Instagram and for public speaking events. Personal branding images go one step further, these images will show more variety, including a bit more about the different aspects of your business style and personality.
Headshots
Headshots are a photograph of your head and a bit of your shoulders, nothing more. This is the quickest way of communicating who you are and to recognize you in a group of other portraits. Headshots are great for company face books, realtor business cards and those little online profile avatars.
Personal Branding
Personal branding photography includes headshots and much more.
If your business is geared to a more professional and conservative audience, your images would be simple, classic business poses against simple backgrounds. You can mix it up a bit by wearing different outfits and having different colored backgrounds. These images could be used for regular uses like your profile shot on LinkedIn and company profiles, but you could use different variations if you do talks or presentations or are writing papers on specific topics.
If your business is more casual you can be a bit more creative with your images, more relaxed with the clothing you'll be wearing and even include props if you'd like. Sometimes these sessions can take place on location, using your office or place of business as a background.
Personal branding gives you more opportunity to show different sides of your personality and show a greater range of situations to resonate with your client base.
The Process
-
The phone call
This is just the initial getting to know each other stage. To find out what your needs are and whether I will be the right photographer for you.
-
The consultation
Once you have booked your session we will have a consultation. This will take place either in person, on a Zoom call or on the phone. We'll discuss the look and type of the images you'd like to capture and how you plan on using your images. We'll discuss wardrobe, styling, what looks great on camera and how you should dress and prepare for your session.
-
Mood Boards
Within a week of our consultation, I will send you some mood boards. This could simply be some samples of background options to a collage of images which would detail the colors, the clothing and the looks we want to capture during your session.
-
The Portrait Session
A studio session will involve meeting at 20 W 20th Street at the appointed time with your wardrobe choices pressed and ready to go (a steamer is available for last-minute touch-ups). If you are having hair and makeup done by one of my recommended artists, they will meet you at the studio and remain for the session.
If we are doing a session on location, we will confirm logistics ahead of time.
-
The Image Review
This can be done in person or on a Zoom call. This is where we will go over the images together and choose the best ones for your intended use. I will help you narrow down your selection to make sure you have a good range of images that reflect your brand or business.
-
Retouching
All images receive some level of retouching. The amount of retouching is completely up to you. The aim is to make you look the best version of yourself.
-
Download Your Files
Once the images have been retouched, I will send you the digital files via WeTransfer for you to download.
