5 Tips On How To Plan A Successful Personal Branding Shoot

A few weeks ago, I was on set with a client (let’s call her Tara) for her personal branding shoot. A successful chef, she owns a thriving restaurant in her hometown. After the shoot wrapped, we opened a bottle of bubbly, and sat down to review her pictures. While selecting the photos she liked, we got around to talking about personal branding. “You know Vikrant, I never realized just how much planning actually goes into a shoot like this. I thought we would do a few quick photos of me posing in front of the camera, and we’d be done”, she said. “Now that I look at the photos, I realize just how important it was to plan out every detail.” Her statement reminded me about how planning was really important for any photoshoot. I tell everyone that professional photography is more than just showing up and getting a few good shots—it’s about capturing your story in a way that really resonates with your audience.
