What is the difference between a CV session and a branding session?

Many of our clients ask us: What is the difference between a CV session and a branding session? Well, that’s a very good question!

It is no coincidence that we have distinguished our photography sessions into CV sessions and branding sessions in our offer.
This is intended to guide you on how you can use the photos taken during a session with us.
CV photos, although the name suggests otherwise, are also suitable for other uses. They are also perfect for social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
However, the scope of application for such photos is wider. Wherever a person needs to be clearly distinguished from the background, a CV photo package is worth considering. In these situations, nothing distracts from the person in the photo.

On the other hand, we have branding photos, where the background is a crucial element of the picture. The background in branding sessions is distinct, yet blurred. The viewer of such a photo receives information that the person they are looking at is in an office or another location. This can additionally enhance the aesthetic appeal of the photo.
Such photos become an ideal illustration for a brochure, advertisement, or an article describing a person as an expert in a certain field.
Such a photo can also include an additional element that the person in the picture is involved with. It is also easier to integrate the photographed person into elements of the photo’s decor, such as an armchair, chair, and many others.

It is therefore worth paying attention to how these photos can be useful to us. Sometimes a uniform background works better, due to its expressive simplicity. Other times, it is better to use additional elements beyond the model itself, which can enhance the message of the photos and add an aesthetic dimension.
Above, you can see several examples of photos taken as part of the CV photo package and branding sessions. This may further help you decide which type of photos you prefer. However, remember that beyond your opinion, the impression you make on others also matters, so take this into account when choosing the right portrait photo package for yourself. You now know the difference between a CV session and a branding session. Good luck, and see you in the studio or another location!
