KEYNOTE SPEAKER PHOTOGRAPHY: LET ME BE YOUR PERSONAL PAPARAZZI

You’ve all seen TED talks, right?

A solitary person up on stage, lights hotter than the centre of the sun blazing down on them, and a tiny microphone strapped to their face that looks like they fell asleep on a cotton bud.

And yet they still look amazing in the official photos, don’t they?

Now, I know what you’re thinking.

●     They’ve got a team of people to make them look glam before they go on stage.

●     The photos are probably edited to the point where I’d walk past the actual person if I saw them in real life.

●     I look like a bag of sick, so no amount of primping and editing can make me look that good anyway.

But that, my lovelies, is where you’re wrong.

THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON

That’s not me bigging myself up either - check out the Recommendations section of my LinkedIn profile, and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Story after story after story of people who weren’t confident in front of a camera, but an hour of me shooting them convinced them otherwise.

Which brings me neatly to Personal Paparazzi.

WHAT IS PERSONAL PAPARAZZI?

PP (which I will definitely be calling it from now on) is my latest service offering. It’s for people who are giving keynote speeches but want more than just the generic shot that all keynote speakers have. You know the one; standing on a stage with one hand curled up into a claw and making that horrible pose that politicians do when they’re trying to make a point.

HOW IS PP DIFFERENT?

Rather than just get two shitty shots of the same pose, I’ll:

●     Take photos of you getting miked up and preparing to go onstage

●     Shoot you for the entire talk instead of just waiting around for the optimum shot

●     Capture images of you networking, answering questions, and interacting with your audience after the speech is over

●     Professionally edit all the photos that you decide to have

Not only will this give you a raft of amazing, natural-looking, confident photos, but they’ll make you stand out a mile from your competition because they’ll be different from what everyone else has.

HOW CAN YOU HIRE ME AS YOUR PP?

Yeah, that joke’s never getting old. 🤣

I’ll be launching this offering in April, but if you want to know more or if you want to reserve a spot before they sell out (and they WILL), then get in touch and let’s make a start on knocking your next speaking gig out of the park.
