Professional Photographs Drastically Improve Your Branding

If you noticed one thing about most people with their own website – their pictures are always terrible. I would say the majority of the photos I’ve seen are taken in parties, by a low-quality camera, or even cropped out from a group of other people.

There’s no issues with that, but I think internet marketing as a whole has already started to head towards mainstream business. You need to step up your branding efforts and take professional photographs of yourself to use in your press release, websites and almost everywhere else.

That’s what I did last weekend, and as you can see even the unedited photographs are really really good:

WOW_5279

WOW_5354wn

WOW_5324en

WOW_5416

If you’re in Malaysia, you can head on to WOW Photos and get their studio package. For just about RM150 / hour you get unlimited shots in a professional studio by a professional photographer (same guys who did my engagement and wedding photos)

Great for individuals and groups. Go prepared with an idea of what you want, but Hafiz will also help you out by suggesting poses that look great.

Let’s face it, your photos probably suck too. It’s about time you improved on your image and branding, and I’m pretty sure it will have a direct impact on your income too.

Top Photography Blogs

When we talk about photography, then it’s more than just having a sound knowledge of the technicalities that involve aperture, shutter and focus. There is a lot more action underneath! The snapshot is actually like a canvas where you develop your imagination with the help of paints, brushes or say the technical arsenal that you’ve. “Every picture has its story”, a story that is developed by the photographer’s thought process or say his own perspective to carve out the virtual world in the real frame of reference.

The lines which aptly describe the intensity of the mere word ‘click’ could be:

The camera doesn’t rape or even possess, though it may presume, intrude, trespass, distort, exploit, and, at the farthest reach of metaphor, assassinate- all activities that, unlike the sexual push and shove, can be conducted from a distance, and with some detachment.”

[Sontag Susan ,1977]

Wow! In alternate words, a photography blog is actually created by those who derive fun and share a common interest about photography. They talk about various aspects related with this creative task. Be it sharing information behind the snapshot or surprise posts on innovation. It can be pitched as a web archive and RSS feed for better proficiency.

Enough of my waffle, let us now see few top photography blogs that we’ve on the Internet. But again in no order of ranks! One can compare them between the snapshots for the ranking but not the ideas behind it, as they’re individualistic.
