It goes without saying that the recent events have changed a lot of the ways we communicate with each other-personally and professionally. We’re all on more web conferences and video meetings via Skype, Zoom, Google Meet and WebEx than ever before. So we have 10 tips to help you look your best on a webcam (and not look so much like a bum in the basement).
As times change and we are forced to adapt, it’s important to stay up to date on trends, techniques, and other professionals in your industry. I sat down with our photographer, Jesse Brown Nelson, to gain his perspective on what he does to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of photography.
Career-minded individuals looking to make a positive impression should invest in a professional headshot. Appearances matter; whether networking, searching for clients, or applying for that dream job, you’ll want to put your best face forward (literally). Your selfie game may be on point, but save those shaky handheld phone pics for your Instagram account. Instead, hire a professional photographer for a high-resolution, visually-appealing headshot. They are experts in composition, lighting, and editing and know exactly how to create a perfect shot that showcases your most valuable asset – you!
Be honest—how long has it been since you’ve updated your headshot portrait? Are you showing up to meetings and people don’t recognize you? That’s probably a good sign you need a new photo.
Tourism is something that is close to our team’s hearts. Being located in the beautiful Black Hills, and publishing Black Hills Visitor guide since day one of our company’s lifetime, it’s easy to fall in love with promoting our area.
In the summer of 2018, our team was contacted by a group of Chamber of Commerce Directors in the southern Hills with an opportunity to assist with telling their story. Publish a vacation guide promoting such a fun area in our region? Absolutely!
