4 Reasons Why A Professional Headshot is better than a selfie!
If you're looking for a headshot to help promote your business or yourself, but can't afford a headshot photographer in Dallas TX, then you might want to think again. In this blog post, we will talk about 5 reasons why headshots from a professional photographer are better than your selfie at the bar with friends!
Professional headshot photography from David Loi Studios can be used to help promote your business by showing more of your professionalism or your personality to prospective future clients. Anything like a selfie will be a huge turn-off because they can be distracting and do nothing to help sell your brand. In fact, bar/home/party photos are worse than having nothing - since all of these photos can be grainy, unfocused or have poor lighting, it'll detract from yourself as a brand. A quality photo from a professional headshot photographer, like our team here, will show a real person behind the business can help remind them that they're not dealing with something cold and artificial but someone warm and friendly. Here's a few other reasons off the top of my head.
Professionalism - Professional headshots show people that you take your business and the quality of your work very seriously. Professional headshots can also help portray a more clear image to others about who they're dealing with in terms of personality if they see a terrible headshot, it can leave a terrible first impression.

Quality - If you have a website or any Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn accounts attached to your business then you need to think about how your headshot photos reflect your brand. Professional Headshots can also help strengthen your online and offline reputation because others will see that you're serious about what you do. However, if they look un-professional it'll speak volumes about the quality of service or product they might receive from your company. For example, if your company is real estate or finance than you might want clean headshots. Conversely, if you work in marketing or for a promotions group, you might want to promote fun and energetic, than a professional photographer like David Loi Studios can help get the fun outta ya!

Location, location, location - the coolest thing about modern equipment in photography is that we can shoot in almost any location, an advantage that David Loi Studios brings to the world of headshot photography...we can bring the backdrop or we can find an outside location to do some portrait and headshot photography that best fits your brand. Imagine being in the medical world how much story is in the headshot if you're in front of medical equipment or if you're in real estate a beautifully lit room as your background? This absolutely tells a story better than a generic grey backdrop!

A headshot (and marketing photos!) from a professional commercial photographer will show people that you're the real deal and not just some fake account or a shady business. Far too often these days there are fake online businesses that looks real but are just basically out to scam money out of un-suspecting folks online. That's another issue with stock photos...it doesn't make a local business feel real (another blog post for another day!) However, real professional headshots can remind a business that there's a real person that they're interacting with.
