Define your Brand Identity

Before stepping in front of the camera, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your brand identity. Consider your values, mission, and target audience. What message do you want to convey? Your visual content should align seamlessly with your brand’s ethos to establish trust and authenticity with your audience.

Choosing the right Location

The backdrop of your photos can significantly impact the overall vibe and message of your brand. Selecting a location that resonates with your brand’s aesthetic is key. Whether it’s an urban landscape, a cozy cafe, or a natural setting, the environment should complement your personal style and resonate with your audience.

Don’t be afraid to ask if you’d like to use a location, most places are very welcoming for a tag in a social media post.

Are You Wondering What’s Your Body Shape?

Once you identify your body type, whether it is apple-shaped, pear-shaped, or hourglass-shaped, you can choose the most flattering clothing. Many of us have looked in the mirror and tried to determine our body shape, but what we see in the mirror is a different shape than what we really are.
