Photography
As you already went through Pinterest and looked for inspiration, you already have some ideas about what you like.
You need to think about a few things:
Your own photographs
Do you have your own photos, or able to make photographs for your website? Do you need to find somebody for a professional photoshoot?
Even if you are not into photography, you might start to think about making your own photos. Now that even our phones make rather good photography it is not so out of the reach. It doesn’t matter how you decide in the end it is very useful to look at photographs and find inspiration. This is a good place to start: https://pin.it/f5kfoxvt27uovd
Tip 1: You might need photos of your products, studio or event depending on the type of work you do.
Tip 2: You might need photos of you with more background and not just headshots. We can place text on those images.
Tip 3: plan your clothing around the color palette of your website
Tip 4: Keep your photo tones similar. If you are using a pro photographer, ask them if they’ll be modifying the photos in post-production to color correct and create a consistent tonal quality. Many apps like VSCO also have amazing presets you can use. When all of your pictures have a similar look and feel, it elevates the site and makes it feel more pro.
Stock photography
You can find very good quality photography online and you can use them on your website for free: https://unsplash.com/. If you use Canva for photo editing, it includes quite an impressive stock photo library as well, but it requires a subscription to use the whole photo library. If you don’t like subscriptions, you are able to start a free trial and chose an image in your free trial period.
