They approached us to provide a series of business headshots of their executives, and eventually as many as 100 members of their company. They were looking for images done in an office or hospital environment. The problem with that is getting permission to photograph in a busy hospital environment as well as keeping a consistent look over time.
Bcause LLC is building the world’s first full-stack cryptocurrency ecosystem, which will include a digital mining facility, spot market, regulated derivatives exchange and clearing house. Bcause has filed with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to become a designated contract market (DCM) and intends to file with the Commission to establish a derivatives clearing organization (DCO). Once regulatory approvals are in place, and trading and clearing begins in derivatives, Bcause will become the only venue to serve as a one-stop shop for all parts of the digital currency value chain. Bcause has laid the groundwork to launch in 2018, initially with its state-of-the-art digital mining facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia – the largest facility of its kind in North America – and in the first half of the year with spot trading. The company is headquartered in Virginia Beach, with additional operations in Chicago.
With the new year, we are introducing a new service, personal branding photography. The idea of personal branding began when Fast Company magazine ran a cover article called “The Brand Called You” by Tom Peters in 1997. So what is personal branding? Your personal brand is your reputation, which is defined by your character. Your personal brand is also your legacy; it’s the way others remember you through your actions, your expertise, and the emotional connections that you make. Your personal brand shows your authenticity from the inside out. (Chritton, Susan (2014-06-25). Personal Branding For Dummies. Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, once said, “Your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room”.
While it’s impossible to control what others say about you, it’s imperative you guide it. Your personal brand is something you can consciously manage. You manage your personal brand by putting out into the world what you wish to be known for. Said another way, you are what you do. What I see of you is what I believe you are. Thoughts become things. What do you want to be known for? This is you defining your personal brand. Once you’ve defined your personal brand, how do you show it? This is where your personal branding photo shoot comes into play. When you hear coaches and marketers talk about “being seen” or gaining more visibility, a big part of that is the actual images.
