professional employee portraits

Employees are the most important capital in a company, and the effect of professional employee portraits should not be underestimated.

Employees are a company’s calling cards, and the same goes for professional employee photos on the internet or in print. Do not underestimate the effect of professional employee portraits. As part of our non-binding preliminary meeting, we talk about our ideas and get an idea of your company right away (this is important for the background design).

The business portrait is a special form of the employee portrait

Business portraits are a special form of portrait and normally people who are in business are portrayed. The choice of clothes and a well-groomed appearance are basic requirements for this type of photo. Our Style guide for business portraits helps you a lot here.

Since the photographer does not have a lot of time with executive portraits, a quick set-up of the photo equipment as well as a quick and structured processing of the photos is particularly relevant. In any case, mobile studio equipment is recommended in order to create the best possible lighting conditions in the familiar working environment for the person to be portrayed.

Board members and Executives and politicians do not normally need any special instructions with regard to posing and expression, as these people are photographed very often and make it particularly easy for the photographer.

Normally you don’t have such people in front of the “lens”, but rather people with whom you have to interact so that the printout on the photo is particularly authentic and not artificial. Business portraits are often brought directly into the context of the activity of the person being portrayed. It definitely makes a difference between the company owner of the craft business and the division manager in an IT group. Special creativity and preparation by the photographer is necessary here.

Business portraits or employee portraits are becoming more and more important. Especially because professional photos are the company’s calling card. The first contact with the company is in a large number of cases via the Internet and the more personal and individual the website and thus the photos are designed, the sooner the potential customer will contact the company.

Small and large companies are increasingly relying on a presence on the Internet and want to convince customers there of their own services. Employee portraits are an important tool, especially for small and medium-sized companies, for doctors and for similar professional groups. We have summarized the most important questions about good employee portraits for you.

FAQ on employee portraits

The answer to this question depends largely on the corporate culture. If the employees in the company all wear corporate wear, then this should also be taken into account in the employee portraits. This looks pleasant and uniform and underlines once again the corporate relationship. If casual clothing is permitted, employees should still wear similar colors if possible so that the look of the page is retained and the employee portraits do not appear too restless.

In principle, of course, you do not have to take photos of all employees. From a certain company size onwards, this is hardly expedient. It is important that the employees are shown, who take on most of the customer contact. When looking at the portraits, the customer already gets a feeling of who will serve or advise him later. As a company, you also have to consider that not every employee wants to be photographed. This point must also be taken into account when planning and creating employee portraits.

A professional effect is particularly important when it comes to employee portraits. Accordingly, the portraits should be made by a specialized photographer who can use the light and setting to create the desired impression. Using cell phone photos as employee portraits is not only unprofessional, but also rarely makes a good impression on customers and visitors to a website.

Good employee portraits should convince the customer of the company and of the offers. This means, among other things, that the employees should appear natural and friendly in the portraits. When looking at the employees, the customer should immediately feel welcome and want to visit the company. A website with good employee portraits can be very effective in tempting visitors to visit a company or to buy goods or services.

No customer or advertising partner demands up-to-date employee portraits. In principle, however, the portraits should not be so outdated that the employees can no longer be recognized in reality. If there are changes in an employee, for example due to a radical change in hairstyle or an extremely strong increase or decrease, you should think about new employee portraits. In many companies it is now customary that new employee portraits are made every one or two years. In this way, entries and exits in the company can also be entered directly on the website.

Employee portraits can be used in a variety of ways in marketing. They can be used, for example, to gradually introduce the team and its areas of activity in newsletters. In addition, high-quality employee portraits offer the opportunity to use them to advertise certain goods or groups of goods and services, if the responsible employees are also quoted for the portraits.

A company can build trust and demonstrate transparency through employee portraits. In this way, potential customers can already familiarize themselves with the people on site or even recognize which employee will be responsible for them. This often significantly lowers the inhibition threshold to trust a new company.

Above all, locally operating companies, but also doctors and service providers from various industries benefit from employee portraits on their own homepage. Very large companies and internationally active companies usually do without such portraits, as they only play an insignificant role for corporate marketing on this scale. However, if you want to be found locally, you should definitely not do without suitable employee portraits.
