October 14, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Raleigh, North Carolina-based photographer Christer Berg, owner of Portraits with Purpose, is helping individuals and corporate clients build a strong image for themselves and their businesses using professionally crafted headshots. Readers who want to enlist his help to create a strong visual presence, either online or in the company’s branded material, can contact his company Portraits with Purpose to set up an appointment.
Marketing has changed in many ways over the last few decades. Modern consumers have moved beyond just looking for a business that offers the best deal on a particular product or service. Today, they are looking to support providers who have compelling stories that resonate with them. They want to know that their hard-earned money is going towards an endeavor run by real people, just like them, who are passionate about making a difference in their chosen industry. So, it is of paramount importance to showcase the people behind the company to humanize its image and to give the target audience something to latch onto.

Many companies commission headshots of their founders, board, and staff to give customers friendly and relatable faces to associate their brands with. However, not every photographer has the skill or experience required to take headshots that capture their subjects in harmony with the businesses they represent. The result is corporate headshots that are bland and soulless and fail to capture the reasons that make those companies unique. Without considering the specialized expertise that it takes to put a face to a name, companies can end up creating a sterilized brand image that turns away the customers that they need on their side the most.
Christer Berg talks about the importance of having visually appealing corporate headshots by saying, “When you think of Apple, you think of Steve Jobs. Though it makes methodically engineered and consciously designed products, the world prefers to latch on to and mythologize the visionary auteur in a black turtleneck and jeans who is credited with changing the way we use computers and personal devices. Such is the power of strong visual branding. It can hook people in and keep them coming back. My professional headshots will do the same for you. I’m not looking to take pictures of you and your employees in isolation. I understand that your company’s visual assets must be synchronous with your overall marketing and branding efforts. To achieve that, I will have a conversation with you about how you want your business to be portrayed to your ideal customer. I will understand what makes you tick and what separates you from your competition. I will make the time to understand your story, where you came from, and where you plan to go. I’ll then use my years of experience behind the camera to distill down all these unique qualities into meticulously framed and composed headshots that will shine on your company’s online presence and printed materials.”
Christer’s talent and skill behind the camera have been acknowledged by both his clients and industry curators. He won the “Best Portrait Photographers in Raleigh” award from Expertise.com in 2019. Portraits With Purpose also has a perfect 5.0 out of 5.0 rating from 80 reviews on its Google Business Profile.
Apart from a strong portfolio of professional headshots, Christer Berg, also has a keen interest in editorial and environmental portrait photography. For nearly a decade, Christer has been working on an award-winning ongoing project titled People With Purpose, a collection of environmental portraits that celebrate people who have a positive impact on our communities, including creative professionals such as writers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and other pillars of the community such as civil rights lawyers.
Christer Berg can set up everything from a traditional in-studio or headshot portrait to an on-location portrait, depending on the client’s requirements. A typical Portraits with Purpose session starts at $175 and includes secure electronic delivery of a full set of licensed images. Those interested can reach out to Christer at (919) 649-6560 from Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM.

A cruise ship left stranded in Southeast Asia after its US-based operator ran out of money has been arrested in Singapore, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said on Monday. The Odyssey, meant to take passengers on a continuous voyage around the world, was arrested after arriving on Sunday from Cambodia, where around 200 guests were told to disembark. “The vessel has been placed under arrest pursuant to a court order,” MPA said in a statement, without giving further details. “The crew on...
For Sunny He, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident, this year’s Singles’ Day shopping season culminated in a single, high-value purchase: a 12,000-yuan (US$1,797) iPhone 18 Pro Max, sweetened by a 300-yuan voucher on Alibaba Group Holding’s Tmall marketplace. “For me, Double 11 definitely isn’t as lively as before because I have less spare cash than in previous years,” He said. “Even so, I’ll take advantage of this chance for products that I couldn’t bear to buy at full price, like a new...
While some tropes like zombies are universally scary, others sources of terror require specific cultural knowledge to inspire dread – something Wyn Panichpakdee realised while watching both Thai and international players test his studio’s latest video game.

For Jason Wang, a media operator based in Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province, switching his long-held investment strategy of buying gold to tech-themed funds was a bittersweet decision. The 28-year-old retail investor, who has no idea about tech company fundamentals, started buying tech funds – focused on China’s semiconductors, robotics and similar sectors – at the end of last year amid a bull run that lasted until the middle of this year. Watching returns on his semiconductor funds...
At the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 Summit in Ho Chi Minh City on November 3, a discussion of regional connectivity explored how goods move across borders. I came away thinking about what stays behind.

Its five-year plan, approved in April, targets average annual gross domestic product growth of at least 10 per cent from 2026 to 2030. Developing Vietnamese suppliers...
