How to use Personal Branding photography for branding and marketing purposes

by with No Comment Personal Branding

Do you know that you need to update your social media profiles but dread the thought of jumping in front of the camera?

Are you sick of spending hours looking for a good photo of you (that you actually like) in your iPhone to post for your business only to end up posting nothing?

Wish you were younger, 10kg lighter and 20 times better at taking selfies?

I hear this all the time from clients who are concerned when it comes to showing up for their business and work online.

You want images that look professional – but not too stiff and fake.

Getting yourself out there in an authentic way on Social Media can seem overwhelming, a bit daunting and can make you feel quite vulnerable.

But what if you had a collection of images & videos of you that you love? Images that not only tell the stories you know you need to be telling but show an energetic and confident you to help connect PEOPLE to your brand.

I work with executives and business owners who know they need to show up online and can help you tick this off your list.

Just send me a message at info@carmen.photo to learn how simple this can be with the right person in your corner (and behind the lens).

Personal Branding photo session in Zurich – Social Media Specialist

by with No Comment Personal Branding

Yuliia is a Social Media specialist and needed professional images for her website. She came to me because she knows that a successful marketing strategy is closely linked to her online persona.

We started our photo shoot in Zürich, near Europa Alee. I like this area because it has a business atmosphere and there are a lot of cafes and restaurants where one can stop for a couple of photos.

We started with coffee at the Hiltl Europa Alee and discussed the final details of the photo session. Yuliia is very easy to talk to and although she had a clear idea of the type of photos she wanted, she was also open to my suggestions.

The weather was fantastic and we explored several locations in the area and took a couple of shots.

As Yuliia is based in Zürich and knows the area well, we wanted to go some of her beloved spots in the city. We headed towards Lindenhof and the Old town.

The time flew by so fast as we both enjoyed every second of the photo session and she now has a wide variety of images that she can use for her Website and Social Media platforms.

50 Amazing Swiss Women – Why you should know their stories?

by with No Comment Uncategorized

One thing that prevents women from achieving their full potential is the lack of confidence. What can we do to avoid this?
We can start by learning how other women succeed, despite the numerous obstacles they encountered. I strongly believe that our daughters can learn so much from the stories of women role models. Equality should start with Education.

Some days ago I had the chance to meet two remarkable ladies: Laurie Theurer and Barbara Nigg , authors of „50 Amazing Swiss Women”. It was fascinating to learn how this book was written and hear about the challenges they faced, especially during the pandemic.
The book contains extraordinary stories of incredible women. I am sure my daughter will love it.
Bonus points – the illustrations are fantastic!

As the authors said:
„Read their stories. Get inspired. Be amazing, too.”
