Had a great time talking to fellow business people at BiY today – part of a creative “trio” with Rob and Andy of Plump Digital and Video Advert.<\/p>\n

Just thought I’d note down my main points from the talk…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The world has changed<\/strong> – people want to see “you” and your “everything” now, great photos “sell”, bad ones repel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Get known as the “local go-to”<\/strong> person is helped with local images, images of you “in the locale” – be that a flyer with Leeds town hall on, or a bill board with your face on.<\/li>\n
  3. Place your self<\/strong> or your products in the community, and get photos to blog\/promote this – gets you a degree of “local fame”<\/li>\n
  4. A great profile shot is often your first point of contact<\/strong> – make it count.<\/li>\n
  5. Linked in searches – Friendly and approachable encourages people to pick the phone up – stern and grumpy makes them unsure and choose the next “supplier” on the list.<\/li>\n
  6. Getting you portrait<\/a> done is incredibly easy and should be fun<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And a few tips…<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. If you are going on a shoot, take a couple of outfits<\/strong> – smart\/casual, just in case one\u00a0<\/span><\/span>doesn’t\u00a0work well<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Take different coloured accessories<\/strong> (e.g. scarf, tie) to add variety to your shots<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Be yourself – vital\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Get\/Give feedback throughout the shoot – 2 way process gets the results, don’t let the photographer make ALL the choices, tell him\/her which shots you like<\/strong> – and do more of those<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. If you’re worried about weight – leaning forward a little helps hide an extra chin, and if the cameras higher than you, it helps too – so maybe use stairs or a balcony<\/li>\n
    6. Black or white V colour – McFade supply you both, we love both and can never decide so we’ll do both for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
