Staff Photos Without a Portrait Gallery
A face helps when someone will enter the house or hold the scissors. A run of selfies pushes the work down and turns the profile into an album.
A face is part of the trust when someone will enter the house or hold the scissors. A run of selfies does the opposite. The work photos sink, and the profile looks like a personal album. A cleaning crew had uploaded forty selfies from the van. People asking for a quote said they could not see the work. Six frames stayed. The team in uniform, with permission, at the job. The rest are before-and-after rooms with no family frame on the wall. Faces are the small set, the work is the large set. The face of someone who has left should not stay on the door. The customer waits for that face, and someone else arrives.
1. Show the people who do the work, at the workplace, with their permission, and only a few.
Let the uniform, the counter, or the tool sit in the frame. A face shot at home does not describe the shop. If there is no permission, do not upload the frame, because taking it down later is harder.
2. Let most of the gallery be the work and the front, and keep faces as the smaller set.
Forty faces crush six rooms. Six faces should not stand in front of forty rooms. Let the work sit in the first three frames, and let a face come after the fourth.
3. Do not post a customer's face, a child's face, or an interior that shows the address, unless you asked.
If a room will be shot, keep the family frame on the wall and the door number outside the crop. Even on a permitted face, keep the work in front and the face behind. An unpermitted face turns the profile against you.
4. Write the role in the caption, not a joke.
Kemal, the fitter, is enough. A nickname and a joke delay the person who is looking for the job. Let the role be the same sentence you would say on the phone.
5. Take down the photo of a person who has left the job.
A face you no longer employ is a wrong introduction. Take it down the same week, and do not fill the gap at once with the new arrival. The new face enters only when that person goes out on a job and has agreed.
The crew kept six frames in uniform, at the job, with permission. The rest became before and after. People who ask for a quote now see the room, not the van. If someone leaves, that frame comes down the same day. The rule is pinned on the wall.
Once a month, split the gallery in two and count. If the number of faces passes the number of jobs, move the extra faces back. If a new hand has arrived, take the permission note before the shoot, not after. If there is no note, the frame stays on the phone and does not go on the profile. If a customer sent the inside of the house, crop the frames on the wall and the door number. If they cannot be cropped, do not post that frame at all. If a child entered the frame, delete it. This sorting does more work than uploading another selfie. The gallery stops being an album and becomes a shelf of finished work.
