How The Headshot Lounge Process Works
Many professionals surprisingly don't have a headshot despite a professional headshot being being very useful for anyone in business. A headshot fits perfectly in a social media profile that is attempting to convey a professional image. If you'll be having a trade show, one service you may offer is a professional headshot lounge.
Setting Up the Lounge
The lounge is an area setup for your trade show where an employee can have his or her photograph taken using the right lighting and configuration. It provides all of the services that are necessary to produce the best possible headshot.
Meeting Demand
When setting up a tradeshow headshot lounge, make sure to clarify how many attendees will be at the trade show. This will help ensure that you will have enough space and enough booths setup so that you'll be able to meet the demand for headshots. Many attendees of trade shows state that the headshot service was the most valuable one they received, but if you don't have enough equipment and space to accommodate all guests, not everyone will be able to benefit from the headshot service.
Applying Makeup
When an attendee begins his or her photography session, a professional makeup crew will apply makeup to ensure that the headshot looks as good as possible. Rather than applying glamour makeup, which may come on too strong and may be uncomfortable throughout the rest of the trade show, the makeup crew applies subtle makeup that allows for the best possible photograph.
Taking Photographs with Multiple Poses
Typically, a headshot session will involve multiple poses. This provides the customer with multiple shots to choose from with a profile. The attendee can see the picture taken on a monitor and can select the portrait that he or she prefers.
Downloading the Headshot
To keep the service moving in an efficient manner, the attendee will fill out the method by which he or she will receive the image. There might be an online website he or she may login to download the image or it may be sent through email. The attendee can simply be handed a card with the web address so he or she may download the headshot.
Benefits of Headshots
Headshots are a great way to introduce yourself and other potential colleagues will feel more comfortable interacting with you. A headshot is a great way to brand yourself and get noticed in your field.
