Branding Photography is not the same as Professional Headshots
Headshots are great to update your portfolio or about me page on a regular basis and represent you as an individual. Although many do this yearly, you should strive to update this a few times a year. Headshots are typically done in a studio, with a back drop, or outdoor location and consist of a single outfit and just a handful of portraits. Everyone should have a couple great headshots but branding photography takes your visual brand identity a step further.
