Business Portraits with The Image Mill
Your business portrait speaks volumes before you even say a word. At The Image Mill, I specialise in crafting professional business portraits that showcase your personality, build trust, and consequently make a positive impression on potential clients.
Why Do You Need a Business Portrait?
A high-quality, professionally created business portrait:
- Firstly helps establish credibility and professionalism.
- Enhances your personal brand across platforms like LinkedIn and social media.
- Attracts more clients by showing them the person behind the business.
Conversely, a poorly taken selfie or unprofessional image can harm your business’s reputation and lead to missed opportunities. Why risk creating a negative first impression?
Headshots vs. Personal Brand Photography
Headshots:
Headshots are simple, professional images with emphasis on your face and upper body. They are ideal for LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, and social media platforms where a clean, professional image is necessary. Headshots are a must-have for making a solid first impression and are often used in situations requiring consistency across team members in an organisation.
"Really happy with the service Phill provided. He took time in advance to plan settings for my photos having listened carefully to what I wanted. During the session he took time finding the right shots. I felt at ease and relaxed throughout the photo shoot. The resulting photos are lovely."
Clare Downham
Personal Brand Photography:
Personal brand photography is equally important. However it takes things a step further, showcasing not just what you look like but who you are and what you do. Additionally these images incorporate elements of your personality, workplace, tools, or products, creating a visual narrative about your brand. Perfect for entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners, personal brand photography is ideal for use on websites, marketing campaigns, and storytelling on social media.
By understanding the differences, you can choose the type of portrait session that best fits your goals. Whether you’re looking for a professional headshot or a comprehensive personal brand photoshoot, I’m here to help. Together, we will create images that align with your objectives and place the emphasis where it needs to be.

First Impressions Matter
Have you ever formed a quick opinion about someone based on their appearance, only to discover later that you were wrong? That’s exactly what your potential clients and customers might do when they see your photograph online. A professional business portrait ensures they see you at your best from the outset, giving you the advantage.
The Common Pitfalls of Bad Profile Photos
Scroll through LinkedIn or any social media platform, and you’ll quickly spot common photo mistakes. Some examples include:
- Pets or objects as profile pictures.
- Casual images featuring drinks or meals.
- Photos that are blurry, poorly lit, or unprofessional.
- Multiple people in the photo – Who’s profile is it?
These images don’t just fail to represent your business— conversely they actively work against you. Make sure your portrait reflects the quality and professionalism your brand deserves.
