The importance of professional photoshoots in today's competitive job market is seeing new demand for the career must-have that can make or break landing a dream job.
Graduates, for instance, face fierce competition to secure highly skilled work. Data from the Office for National Statistics* show that in 2023, more than a quarter of graduates living in England aged 21-30 were in medium or low-skilled work and almost 6 per cent were unemployed.
Given the job market, here at Experiences UK, we're pleased to offer a number of Photoshoot packages that might be the ideal proposition at an affordable price for those wanting to add credibility and visibility to their personal profiles.
Yet it's not just us that are seeing the increasing phenomena as other sources, including the business and employment social media platform LinkedIn, is full of the importance of taking the time and effort to look as good as possible in front of prospective employers, clients and professional networks.
Dan Jones, operations manager at Experiences.co.uk, says: "We have a variety of photoshoot packages available that may help to serve demand for the polished shots that can make all the difference to career progression."
"Indeed, there's been a fundamental shift in demand for this service. While photographers were mainly taking pictures of aspiring models and families, now they're seeing more professionals step in front of the camera, knowing the positive impact it can have on their work prospects."
Typically, a professional photoshoot allows participants to take a change of outfits to create the perfect shot.
It also involves a pre-photoshoot consultation with the photographer to ease nerves and ensure the participant is happy before any photos are taken.
When the photoshoot is over, there will either be the chance of an instant viewing or the studio will arrange a convenient date for the participant to return and view their images, and they will often be able to keep a digital download of all the shots taken on the shoot.
Dan adds: "The benefits of a professional photoshoot to enhance career prospects should not be underestimated."
"Looking your best will make a lasting impression on any client or potential employer, and could make all the difference in clinching a dream job."
