Picking Pictures for Your Brochure
1. Close ups of one to three people are much more engaging than group shots.
2. Something unusual, distinctive or emotional. If it makes you smile, or you look at it for more than three seconds, it is an engaging image.
3. Not a stock photo. Your customers now want authentic and real. They can tell a stock photo from a “real” photo.
4. Balance. Not every photo can have diversity, but overall your photos a whole can. Make sure you have gender balance and culture-race balance. Your audience is now diverse, so your brochure photos should be too.
