3 questions your brand photographer should ask | Calgary Branding Photography

A good Brand Photographer will know that brand photos are more than simple portraits.

Portraits are (mostly) about smiling at the camera; about getting a good shot.

When I’m creating brand photos, however, I try to dig a little deeper. Often the result is quite similar – a great, clean image – but the intention behind the image is what matters to me. And it’s often what creates the difference between a nice image and an impactful one.

I really try to get to the heart of a business or brand when I’m working with someone. I know that in order to create images that allow entrepreneurs to connect with their people, it starts with a bit of pre-planning.

As part of my Brand Storytelling onboarding process, I’ve developed a discovery questionnaire. It allows me to create images that are a true reflection of a business/brand. It’s quite extensive, of course, but here are the 3 must haves that form the basis of my Basic brand photo session.

  1. What do you do?
  2. Who do you serve?
  3. How do you want them to feel?

I’m curious, what kind of questions has your Brand Photographer asked you? Scroll down to learn how Nicole answered these.

Wanna know a secret? I never set out to be an entrepreneur.

 

In fact, I didn't even consider that, one day, I would run my own business. I just knew that I had a gift and wanted to use it to help others.

 

Who knew that I'd actually end up helping other like-minded creative women with their business and branding photos?!
