How to get started

Understand the story you want to tell

Before you even think about engaging the services of a Columbus, Ohio branding photographer, you need to fully understand what defines your brand. An essential part of understanding your brand is knowing your audience (customer, consumer, donor or otherwise). Once you understand that audience, then you will want to refine the message you send through your branding efforts. For instance, a lawyer’s brand should not be built around whimsy. The imagery used in branding a physician is going to be completely different than that used in branding a party clown (unless maybe the physician is a pediatrician). Knowing your brand will help you communicate your needs to your Columbus, Ohio branding photographer. A skilled branding photographer will work with you to better understand your needs so that you can collaboratively create high quality branding imagery that best represents your brand.

Create a list of images you would like to represent your brand

You’re hiring a professional branding photographer for good reason. Allow the professional photographer the latitude to lend their experience and expertise in deciding what branding imagery best promotes your brand. That said, it is best to have an idea of what photographs you would like shot prior to meeting with your photographer. You know your brand better than anyone. For instance, you will want to know in advance that you want your Columbus, Ohio branding photographer to take headshots of you and your team. You might identify in advance the most photographable areas of your business’ physical space or that you’d like an office pet included in a branding photograph. Images of products are typically used in brand imagery. If you are not exactly sure what imagery best promotes your brand, it is best to consult with your professional branding photographer.

Select the best Columbus, Ohio branding photographer and design professional

The next, and perhaps most critical, step is to select to work with the best branding photographer in Columbus, Ohio. Shellee Fisher Photography & Design is the photographer of choice in Columbus, Ohio for all your branding imagery needs.

In selecting your branding photographer be sure to select a professional with whom you have a good rapport.

Your brand needs the best Columbus, Ohio branding photographer

Simply selecting your logo, colors, and fonts doesn’t necessarily guarantee a successful branding campaign. If your photography lacks consistency, you will have less brand visibility. As such, you will want to be certain the theme is consistent throughout your imagery. Brands that are consistently presented are more likely to experience brand visibility and be more successful.

Utilizing stock imagery is never going to promote your brand as effectively as custom photography. That is one of the reasons selecting the best Columbus, Ohio branding photographer is important for your brand’s success. While you may be able to find some decent stock images, the key to your branding success is to use your own, unique and perfectly on-brand photographs.

Establish a budget.

You’ll need to create a budget to ensure that your branding photography needs can be met within the constraints of that budget.

Communicate your needs and ideas to your photographer.

It is critically important to let your photographer know the intended use for the photographs. The photographs may be used in marketing or in promotional materials and be published on social media platforms. The specific use of the photograph will often dictate how the pictures are shot.

Look through your photographer’s portfolio and ask for references.

Get references from your branding photographer. You will want to take a look at your photographer’s portfolio to make sure they capture photographs in a way that is consistent with your idea for your brand. You will also want to be sure they are experienced in branding photography. Not every good photographer is a good brand photographer. Don’t be afraid to ask for references. Shellee Fisher Photography & Design is happy to provide you both access to her portfolio and her references from an array of Columbus, Ohio branding clients.

Search online and read online reviews.

Now it’s time to turn to Google. Check customer reviews to make sure the photographer has a good reputation.

Make sure your branding photographer has branding experience
