PLEASE NOTE:

As a Rental space provider there are few things that we can enforce such as Issuing GST Invoices (for both record keeping & having money trail as to who made the booking & was paid by whom etc), Clients are only comfortable with providing generic information such as E-Commerce shoot, Jewellery, Fashion/Portfolio etc before making a booking. This creates a scenario where we are unable to fully verify a client up until we have given a confirmed booking. When in doubt we do ask ask for an e-mail listing the scope of work / promises to end client etc.

Over the last year(s), we have come across several parents having fallen for a paid activity where their kids are featured on the sites of some of the  "brand names" mentioned in the title. Our (and many other studios of photographers in Bangalore) are mentioned as the venue for these activities.

Every successful professional has optimised a way to make clients comfortable with their business or organisation in seconds. It’s those important first impressions — in this new age of LinkedIn, company websites, and virtual meetings on Zoom, Skype, or Teams — that can make or break what might have been a long, mutually beneficial business engagement.

The first human vibe communicated when a prospective client sees a sales executive, service professional, or even a business owner can either put them at ease or make them cautious.

Research on first impressions shows that facial expressions and micro-emotions play a crucial role in how we judge trustworthiness and competence — often within milliseconds.  (Reference: Cognitive Emotion Study, 2012)

That’s precisely why, during our corporate headshot sessions in Bengaluru, we place special emphasis on guiding expression, posture, and intent — to bring out the real you at your most confident and approachable.

If there is that one major factor that guarantees your chance of getting noticed online matrimony profile, it is your profile photograph, a well-shot headshot.

Psychologists say it takes about a tenth of a second to form an impression about the person we meet!

No wonder First Impression is the Best Impression
