Top Trends in Branding Photography, Right Now!
Branding Photography is an evolving style and in order for you and your brand to stay ahead of the curve, and resonate with modern audiences, it's absolutely essential to understand the latest trends.
Let’s look at some of the top trends in branding photography, right now, and see how they can be implemented them into your brand strategy:
1. Step Up. Be Known.
Headshots and studio photography can prove to be very engaging, as they concentrate on you, with no unnecessary distractions.
There’s no getting away from it: You are your brand! And whether you realise it or not, potential clients want to know who you are before they decide on doing business with you.
“Know. Like. Trust” will always, regardless of trends, form the basis of all business transactions, and very often our first “contact” with any brand is the imagery being shared.
And images of the business owner and, if applicable, their team, can form an immediate feeling of engagement.
Traditional headshots that concentrate on you as the face of your brand are always a great choice to put yourself front and centre of your brand’s message.
2. Authenticity and Inclusivity
If applicable to your business, always ensure that team members are included in, a part of, your branding photography strategy.
Consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that feel genuine and relatable. This trend is also true in branding photography, where authenticity and inclusivity are ever important!
Use real people, diverse settings, and candid moments to create a sense of connection with your audience.
3. Minimalist Aesthetics
It does not have to be always work-work-work. Use images which show you in different light, in an uncluttered setting.
Simplicity is often key in effective branding.
Minimalist photography, with its uncluttered compositions, has gained popularity.
This allows your brand's message to shine through without distractions.
4. Storytelling Through Imagery
Lifestyle Branding Images are a strong choice for story-telling, in your social media posts!
Branding photography is more than just capturing visuals; it's about telling a story.
Use imagery to convey your brand's story, values, and mission.
This can involve creating a series of images that tell a visually-engaging story, or using symbolism to evoke emotions.
5. Sustainable and Ethical Practices
Take the opportunity to highlight environmentally-friendly work practices such as walking to work
Consumers are becoming more conscious of sustainability and ethical practices.
Reflect this trend in your branding photography by showcasing sustainable products, eco-friendly settings, and fair trade practices.
