Photo selection tips

Having a hard time, selecting the best images from your photoshoot?

I think we can all agree that it's a great problem to have if your photographer provides you with an incredible selection of photos and you're finding it hard to choose the best ones.

Firstly, just buy them all! 😉 (it's honestly one of the best investments you'll make to expand your networks, opportunities and impact).

However if that isn't possible, I know how much my client's often struggle with selection, so here's a few tips to help!

📌 Assess where your images will mostly be used online and offline to build your leadership visibility (e.g LinkedIn articles, social media posts, website pages, podcast promo etc) and identify which photos will tie in best to enhance your brand style and messaging 💌.

📌 Choose a variety of expressions to cater to different messages and moods that you'll want to convey in your content 😊🤓😁.

📌 Don't be afraid to show personality - your prospects want to get to know and there’s no better way than through images of you 📸

📌 To form deeper connections with your audience, you’ll need to share images of yourself at every touch point (eg email signature, about page, Gmail icon, Zoom video icon etc) so order as many images as possible❣️.

📌 Consider what the overall feeling is that you want your brand to exude on different platforms and choose images that reflect that. Eg. you might opt for a light hearted/fun feel for your Twitter profile image whilst projecting a more serious tone on your LinkedIn profile.

📌 Try not to get hung up on the so called 'flaws'. Remember we all judge ourselves harshly and the 'annoying' gap in your teeth will probably be unnoticed anyway! The aim is to put yourself in the shoes of your potential clients and be objective 👌

📌 Try not to get overwhelmed. Give yourself some time away from the image selection and come back to it again with fresh eyes 👀.

📌 It's ok to take advice from others but in the end choose images that you feel are aligned to your authentic brand essence and reflect a genuine expression of who you are.

📌 Most of all, don't ever hide your magic✨. It's easy to let the potential judgement of others keep you playing small and this will not serve you well in the long run. Instead of dimming your sparkle, focus instead on how you can Show up and Shine. Be the leader and the Beacon who attracts others to you so that you can make a bigger impact in the world.

We've got this!
