Professional photos for interviews

Professional photos for interviews – see how to make your interview more attractive

Today, the media overwhelm us with an avalanche of information. We cannot read all of it in any way, so we choose the content that has photos that attract our attention. This shows how important the press photography that accompanies publications is today. I create cover photos (including professional photos for interviews) that show the professionalism and charisma of my clients, helping them to generate interest and trust.

First contact with the material

As a press photographer, I am well aware of the importance of the first impression. It does not matter whether we see a given person live or in a photo on social media (especially during interviews). After just a few seconds, our brain decides whether such person is interesting, trustworthy, or we would like to get to know him or her better, read an interview. If the article has a photo that draws our attention – the probability that we will want to read it increases dramatically. An author who wants to gain readers should take advantage of the great potential of press photography. Thanks to it, the valuable content that (s)he wants to convey will not be overlooked.

See the world from the perspective of the lens

Press photography allows you to look at a person from a different perspective.Thanks to skilfully made photos for interviews, you can illustrate the author’s message, highlight what is best and most interesting in it. Professional photos for interviews bring out from people what they would like to present, show their professionalism. They allow you to create the image of a professional who is also a trustworthy person.

My photo session vision will convince even the most demanding and sceptical clients. During the session, I especially care for a good atmosphere. Honesty, discretion and openness are my priorities. The people I photograph feel safe and comfortable, which has a huge impact on the final effect of the session. With excellent portraits, I convince that there are no non-photogenic people, the entire responsibility for the effects of cooperation lies with the press photographer. My many years of experience mean that I can take the perfect photo for everyone.

The satisfaction of my clients is the result of long conversations before the photo session, the aim of which is to create unique photos for interviews. We talk a lot because I want to get to know the expectations and preferences of the photographed people. I also provide the necessary advice. Photo-coaching includes, among others, advice on professional posing for photos (in many photo studios this topic is completely ignored, which often results in dissatisfaction with the results of the cooperation). I work with a proven team of specialists who take care of the makeup and hairstyles of the portrayed people. It is also thanks to their efforts that the photos for the interview (even before the final retouching) look really impressive.

Press photography and interview photos are much more than just a reflection of our appearance. They differ from an ordinary photo mainly in that their every detail counts. A good photo for an interview is the right body position, facial expressions, outfit (including even small accessories that often turn out to be of key importance), makeup, hairstyle or surroundings. All these elements must harmonize with each other and create a coherent whole. Only an experienced press photographer knows how to combine them flawlessly.

After the photo session, together with the client, we review the photos taken and choose the ones that we think are the best and will perfectly illustrate the interview. Our work does not end here. Selected photos are subjected to computer processing to the extent that we each time agree with the client.

Press photography is a field that is developing dynamically. There are more people interested in photography for interviews every month. We can observe that creating a professional image has a huge impact on how we and our professional activity are perceived by the society. In the case of press photography, I encourage to use only the services of professionals.

Before arranging a session, make sure to become familiar with the portfolio of a given photographer and ask yourself whether these kind of photos would match your expectations. If not – do not compromise (press photos can help us a lot, but if improperly made – can harm as well) and keep looking.

  • It’s worth investing in a professional image at every stage of your career. For years, I used photos that were taken rather “on the fly” whenever my articles were published. I have to admit, it wasn’t until I started working with Krzysztof Zaleski that I realized how valuable a personalized approach from a business photographer can be. Krzysztof stands out not only for his professionalism, openness, and creativity, but also for his unique method of working with clients—he takes the time to talk, get to know your personality and goals, and then suggests his own original ideas for the photos. As a result, each session is unique and perfectly tailored to your needs. His commitment and attention to detail ensure that the results exceed expectations. Working with him is a true pleasure and an inspiring experience. He’s an outstanding choice for anyone seeking professional business photography.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Krzysztof Zaleski on an advertising project involving major clients of my company. The project was challenging, as it required treating participants with particular sensitivity and achieving the desired results amid the fast-paced demands of print production. Krzysztof handled everything exceptionally well, creating a pleasant atmosphere that helped save my clients’ time and reduced their stress. His professionalism resulted in a series of excellent photos that appeared on the covers of professional magazines and at the Agfa Graphics stand during the “Poligrafia 2007” fair in Poznań. I highly recommend working with Krzysztof Zaleski!
