Men’s Brand Photoshoot Ideas

Steven: Architectural Photographer

Steven is an architectural photographer working with a team of people who photograph commercial and residential buildings. For his session, we really wanted to capture the behind-the-scenes of him working on set! 

His lifestyle images portray Steven in action, with little to no formal posing. They highlight his skills, personality, and personal brand, without being overly posed. These can be used in so many ways and are great for social media to show the real you! 

For his behind-the-scenes photos, we wanted to add an authentic touch. We showed a small glimpse into his daily workflow! We captured him talking to his team and adjusting his camera. Steven set up lighting and reviewed his work, too, to capture a good portion of the workflow. Not only do these images highlight his incredible talents, but they bring life to all that he does!

Josh: CEO and Founder of Try Interact

Josh, the CEO and founder of Try Interact! I have used his software to make this quiz, and it is awesome! Josh needed versatile photos that could be used for his speaking engagements or panel discussions. He wanted brand photos that didn’t scream boring, classic business, or your standard photoshoot! To accomplish his brand photoshoot goals, we used one of Josh’s favorite places in the city. We made sure to visit at a time when the light was most ideal! Remember, lighting is key to beautiful images!

So how did we accomplish a more relaxed, versatile, full-of-life branding session?! We did a combination of lifestyle photos, and more posed “action” shots! Walking shots are perfect to break away from a traditional headshot and bring some movement into your brand. 

For the posed photos, we photographed Josh leaning against a building, leaning against a stylish building looking out into the water, and casual sitting poses. Together, the images really reflect Josh’s dynamic and engaging personality!

Kyle: CEO and Musician

Kyle, CEO of Be Courageous and Musician, needed brand photos for his speaking engagement and album. To capture all the incredible work he does, we headed to a studio for personality shots and lifestyle photos!

Using props, like furniture, office supplies, or your instruments is a great way to set a relaxed tone and let your personality shine! They can help to lighten the mood, give you something to hold, an action to do, or just show off your favorite things!
