Is Your Old Headshot Costing You Opportunities?
Let’s be real, when was the last time you updated your headshot?
If the answer is “a few years ago” or “I still use that selfie from when I had a full fringe”... you’re not alone.
But here’s why that outdated image could be holding you back, especially if you’re building a personal brand or running a business in Nottingham or the surrounding areas.
First Impressions Are (Still) Everything
Before anyone reads your bio or skims your offer, they’re seeing you.
And like it or not, your image instantly sets the tone.
If your headshot looks outdated, pixelated, or DIY, people notice.
And it can send the message that you’re not fully invested in your business.
Your Brand Evolves, So Should Your Photos
You’ve grown. You’ve refined your offer. You’ve probably raised your prices and got clearer on who you serve.
But if your headshot is still giving “2020 side hustle energy,” there’s a disconnect.
We work with personal brands across Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester who are ready to show up as the version of themselves they are now, not who they used to be.
Because when your visuals match your current level, you start attracting opportunities that align with that version of you.
What Makes a Great Headshot in 2025?
Let’s bust a myth: a great headshot isn’t about looking “perfect.”
It’s about looking like you, but in your best light.
Here’s what we focus on in every personal branding shoot at Ryan Hall Studios:
Natural, relaxed posing (no stiff smiles allowed)
A setting that suits your brand’s vibe
Styling that feels elevated but authentic
Expression coaching to help you feel at ease
It’s more than a photo. It’s a confidence booster. It’s a digital handshake.
