I get a lot of work from small businesses, like doctors and lawyers. They need marketing photos all the time. They need head shots updated. They need good photos! What do they need the photos for? Well, they often make brochures, small advertisements that run in area newspapers and magazines, websites… you name it, they probably do it.
Here’s a recent advertisement that I shot. It’s running in the current issue of D Magazine. It’s very similar to what I’ve done a million times before, usually for lawyers (I shoot a LOT of lawyers for some reason). You take a simple, pleasant and inviting photo that makes the reader/customer feel comfortable and secure with that doctor or lawyer. No, it’s not an insane, exciting cover shot for Rolling Stone. It’s not some crazy, energetic concert photo. It is supposed to be safe and simple. Your picture is designed to build trust with new customers, not make the doctors look like wild rock stars.
So, don’t overlook this great market. There’s a steady income ready to be made in Dallas by providing simple, safe, smiling portraits to doctors, lawyers, accountants, realtors and any other small business that regularly markets itself!
