You need new photos. You have seven good excuses.
I've heard them all.
Personal branding photographer in Stuttgart, in English and German.
Scroll through the excuses you need to stop using ↓
Excuse 1
“I'm hopeless in photos.”
Nearly everyone says that. I give you something to do, we talk about your work, and at some point you forget the camera.
Excuse 2
“I don't know what to wear.”
Bring three outfits you feel good in. We'll decide together which one goes with which shot.
Excuse 3
“The photo from 2019 is still fine.”
Since then you've had a new haircut, a new offer and probably new clients. You've moved on, but your photo hasn't.
Excuse 4
“My cousin has a good camera.”
I believe you. And then you both stand there, wondering what to do with your hands.
Excuse 5
“There's nothing to see in my work.”
Your clients disagree. They want to know what it's like to work with you. And nobody looks posed while they're working.
Excuse 6
“I want to get in shape first.”
Your clients are looking for you now. Every month without good photos costs you business. New photos will still be an option next year.
Excuse 7
“I don't have time right now.”
One day, and you have material for your website and LinkedIn. After that, you never have to prop your phone against a coffee cup again.
No excuses left.
Thank you so much for the photos. I really enjoy using them. You can see them on LinkedIn.
Everything was very relaxed and there were some great photos that I can now use. A true professional.
He has his own creative ideas and references, but he also encourages to free style and improvise on the set.
Photos that look like you
First we talk about you and your clients. Then I photograph your work, not a stock list.
Photos that actually fit
I plan the shot list from where each photo will go: website, LinkedIn, banners, with room for your text.
No stress in front of the camera
You get something to do, I tell you what works, and nobody has to fold their arms.
Very little effort for you
One day, with locations and shots sorted in advance. You turn up and play along a little.
Material that lasts
Photos, and short clips if you want them, as finished files for web and print.
I like people with a plan.
I was a corporate engineer before going freelance. So I know the CV photo, and the moment you suddenly are the brand.
That's also why I know how much courage is in your business. I love watching someone else's dream become real, and I enjoy helping people see it.
On a shoot, I'll happily go the extra mile. I'll get wet, hike 10 km to the right spot or climb a tree if the photo needs it. You just have to turn up and play along a little.
People often say afterwards that I felt more like a friend who happened to bring a good camera. That's how it should be, because you only really show up in photos when you feel at ease. And it works in English or German.
And no, I'm not related to the British photographer Rankin.
