“Image is Everything”- a phrase coined by Canon several years ago by Andre Agassi, the tennis player who endorsed Canon Rebel Cameras. I am not sure how effective their campaign was, but they may have been a little ahead of their time. This slogan may be more relevant today than ever. With increased competition for today’s consumer and business dollar every edge is needed in today’s market place. And as Canon would say Image is everything. And what type of image are you portraying. Would you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on advertising material and use a point and shoot camera for you images. Many people don’t even read the print, yes print is important (specially when its a NO INTEREST UNTIL 2020) but it’s the pictures that catches a viewer’s eye on a brochure for example. Nothing starts a good first impression or image as a professional headshot, whether it is in corporate material, brochures, resumes, business cards (just ask a real estate agent) or even Facebook. Yes Facebook-Facebook is used as a business networking tool by many many people. Be careful what you print.

Below are just a few of the Father-Daughter dance couples from last Saturday night. While hectic ( photographing 98 couples in less than 3 1/2 hours), it was a lot of fun. While I thought I would be done with all them by today, I still have a few left to finish. They should all be done early next week.
It is a photographer’s delight to photograph such an outgoing beautiful and photogenic model such as Faith. This is just one of many keepers. I think every pose and every expression was great-just makes my job so much easier. We just used one large softbox camera right and a large reflector for some fill.

Ken Cave Photography has been following the Young Santa Claus (Allan James) and Z92.5 around Kokomo. The first stop was the Original Treasure Mart located on Vaile Street and the second stop was with Darlene Rice at A Lady’s Place ( located at 456 East Southway Boulevard, Kokomo, IN; (765) 453-3700). It was a lot fun as people came in to register for prizes and giveaways during each broadcast and also register for the Grand Prize Santa Sack worth over $3,000.00. I have heard that there is a laptop computer inside this year’s sack which will be given away on December 19, 2009 at the Markland Mall. So check out Z92.5 for all the details. My next stop will be this Friday December 11, 2009 from 5PM to 7PM at Whiskey Creek and then on to Dan Young GM in Tipton from 10AM to Noon on December 12. We will be taking pictures of all the kids (and any fearless adults) with the Young Santa Claus. Below are just a few shots from the last two stops.
Here is the Young Santa with Lisa Girton, account executive with Z925FM

Well that’s it for now-mtk….
Image is everything to coin an old Canon tag line, but in today’s world it still true. What kind of image are you projecting. What kind of portrait do you have on you Facebook page, website or LinkedIn account. Professional head shots may be something to consider in projecting a professional image today’s new economy if you are to be taken seriously. Below are two head shots to be used by All Pro Plumbing on their new website.
