How to use your brand lifestyle photos to tell your business story

Today we’re looking at How to use your brand lifestyle photos to tell your business story.

If you’re a business owner, you know that creating a compelling story is key to attracting and retaining customers.

And personal branding photography is the secret ingredient that can help bring that story to life.

Think of personal branding photography as the trusty sidekick to your business story. It helps to add depth, personality, and a human touch to your brand.

And let’s be honest, people are more likely to remember a business with a face than just a logo and some generic stock photos.

Tell your business story

Here’s how personal branding photography can help create a compelling business story and connect with potential clients and customers:

Showcase Your Unique Selling Point

Personal branding photos allow you to showcase what sets your business apart from the competition. Whether it’s your personality, your team, or your unique approach, these photos can help highlight what makes you stand out in the crowded marketplace.

Build Trust

People do business with people they trust. Personal branding photos help to humanise your business and make it easier for potential clients and customers to connect with you on a personal level. This, in turn, helps to build trust and establish a stronger relationship.

Create Emotional Connection

A good photo can evoke emotions and create a strong connection with your audience. By using personal branding photos that reflect your personality and brand image, you can create an emotional connection with potential clients and customers and make them feel more invested in your business.

Tell Your Story

Personal branding photos are a powerful tool for telling your business story. Whether it’s showcasing your team, your products, or your process, these photos help to bring your story to life and make it more memorable for your audience.

What types of photos could you use?

The kind of brand photos that tell your business story will depend on the unique story of your business and what you want to communicate. Here are some types of brand photos that can be used to tell your business story:

Lifestyle

These photos capture you and your team in action, showing what your business does and how you do it. They help to bring your brand to life and give potential clients and customers a behind-the-scenes look at your business.

Product

These photos showcase your products in use and help to give potential customers an idea of what they can expect from your business. They can also be used to highlight features, benefits, and the quality of your products.

Team

These brand lifestyle photos showcase the faces behind the business and help to build trust with your audience. They can include individual portraits, team photos, and photos of team members in action.

Environmental

These photos capture the environment in which your business operates and help to give potential clients and customers a feel for your brand. They can include photos of your office, workspace, or products in a real-world setting.

Basically brand lifestyle photos are more than just a pretty picture. It plays a crucial role in creating a compelling business story and connecting with potential clients and customers. By showcasing your unique selling point, building trust, creating emotional connection, and telling your story, personal branding photos can help take your business to the next level.

Hi There!

Meet Maryanne

I’m a 40 (ahem something…) year old Yorkshire woman.

I’ve been self employed for 10 years (and a photographer for 18) and I totally understand how difficult it is to be visible in business.

Whether that’s because of a lack of self confidence, feeling a bit frumpy or the physical side effects of peri-menopause (hot sweats and forgetfulness anyone) – I promise you I’ve seen it all and still get great photos at every photoshoot.

I honestly feel so honoured when people book me, because they believe that I really want the best outcome for you. There’s no point having a fancy photoshoot if it doesn’t feel authentic to you.

My aim for every shoot is to get photos and video that you actually want to share… and I’ll be there in the side lines cheering you on!
