Capturing Genuine Moments at Your Birmingham Brand Photoshoot
Today, we're diving into the exciting world of branding photography and how choosing the perfect location, incorporating props, and showing up in your photos can take your brand to a whole new level. As a Birmingham photographer specializing in visual branding for small businesses, I'm here to spill the beans on how these elements work together to make your brand stand out in the crowded digital landscape.
Choosing the Right Birmingham Location for Your Photoshoot
First things first - location! Picture this: your brand has a unique aesthetic that perfectly represents your values and personality. Now, imagine capturing that essence in a setting that complements your vibe. Whether it's the charming streets of Birmingham, a cozy café, or a picturesque park, the right location can elevate your visuals and add that extra "wow" factor. Here are a few tips to choosing a location:
Decide on whether you want outside or inside. I love shooting inside because you never have to deal with the weather!
Consider the colors of the space. If your brand is bright and bubbly, you shouldn't choose a location with black walls.
Versatility. Is there enough versatility that you can take all your photos at one location or will you have to move? Air BnBs are often a great choice for versatile locations.
Place to change. This is often overlooked, but very important. If you choose to have all your pictures taken outside, make sure you plan places to change outfits.
Enhancing Your Brand Photos with Branded Props
Now, let's talk about props! Props can work wonders in enhancing your photos and making your brand pop. Using carefully selected props that align with your brand's message can be eye-catching and tell a story on their own. Whether it's your signature product, creative tools of the trade, or even something unexpected that adds a touch of fun - props are a powerful way to infuse personality into your visuals. A few things to consider when choosing props:
Be careful with labels. Make sure you are okay with the brand labels being in it.
Choose props that match your brand colors.
Aesthetics matter and you need to choose props that match your vibe. Don't just throw things in there.
Choose branded collateral. It is nice to use items that have your logo on them to reinforce your brand but also keep people from stealing your photos and using them.
Props also can bring a personal element into the shoot. If you like to journal we can showcase you journaling. If you love energy drinks, we can do a couple shots with one like we did for Natalie with Beauty by Nat! Better yet, include one of your fur babies as a "prop" like Real Estate Agent Tammy Lewis did!
Creating Broll for Reels at Your Photoshoot
And guess what? We've got a special treat for you! During our branding photoshoot, we'll capture some fantastic b-roll clips that you can use for your reels. These snippets of behind-the-scenes action, candid moments, and props in action will give your audience a sneak peek into the magic that happens behind the scenes of your business. Sharing these b-roll clips on your reels adds an extra layer of engagement and connects your followers to the heart of your brand.
Show Your Face Online to Increase Engagement
Now, let's talk about you - the face behind the brand! People love to see the person behind the business. Showing up in your photos creates a personal touch that builds trust and a real connection with your audience. It's about humanizing your brand and letting your personality shine through.
As your Birmingham brand photographer, I'm here to capture your unique essence and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
