[Episode 1] The charm of female entrepreneurs was not their "strength" but their "passion"📸
Hello.
I am Takashi Abe from Daku Group Holdings Co., Ltd.😊
In the previous prologue,
"10 things I noticed while continuing to photograph female entrepreneurs"
I talked about this series.
In this series,
what I have seen through portrait photography
・The charm of female entrepreneurs
・The power of photography
・Photography as branding
I will talk about these topics📸
This is the first episode.
🌸The image of female entrepreneurs as "strong people"
When it comes to entrepreneurs,
I think many people have this image.
・They have the ability to take action
・They have decisiveness
・They have leadership
In other words,
"Strong people"
is the image.
Of course,
these are very important elements.
However, when I meet many female entrepreneurs
at portrait photography sessions,
I notice something a little different.
👩💼Words that many female entrepreneurs say
During shoots,
there are words I often hear from female entrepreneurs.
"I still have a long way to go."
I'm not exactly confident.
I'm not good at having my photo taken...
Many people say this
while showing a slightly shy smile.
There are so many of them.
Even though they are entrepreneurs,
you might find that surprising.
But I have
photographed many female entrepreneurs so far,
and I noticed a common trait.
That is
truly charming female entrepreneurs
are not necessarily 'strong people'
that is what it is.
✨The moment their charm shines
When I am shooting,
their expression changes at a certain moment.
That is
when they are talking about their passion
it is.
For example,
Why did you start this business?
Who do you want to help?
What kind of future do you want to create?
When they talk about things like that,
their eyes sparkle,
their words become passionate,
and they smile naturally.
In that moment,
a very charming expression appears✨
I capture that moment
with my camera📸
Then,
it becomes a very wonderful photo.
💡The true charm of female entrepreneurs
Having photographed many female entrepreneurs so far,
there is something I have felt.
That is
the charm of female entrepreneurs is
not "strength"
but "passion"
that is what it is.
・Wanting to be useful to someone
・Wanting to make use of one's own experience
・Wanting to make society a little better
People who have such passion
naturally look attractive.
And that passion
also shows in photographs.
Portrait photography is
not just a profile picture.
It is something that captures
・Values
・Passion
・Life
of that person.
That is why what is important is
their individuality
I believe.
The charm of female entrepreneurs is
by no means "perfection."
Rather,
the figure of someone taking on a challenge
the figure of someone working hard for others
the figure of someone cherishing their own passion
in that,
people find empathy.
And I believe that empathy
also leads to business.
That is why I
tell my clients this during photo shoots.
"It's okay not to try to look strong.😊"
Because the expression that is uniquely theirs
is the most attractive.
📸Photos build 'confidence'
Photography is
a tool that allows you to see your own charm objectively.
By looking at photos,
"I have this kind of expression"
"I have this kind of atmosphere"
you sometimes discover a new side of yourself.
That realization
can sometimes lead to confidence.
And that confidence
can sometimes lead to the next action.
That is why I think:
Photos have the power to bring out a person's potential.
The charm of female entrepreneurs
is not 'strength'.
'Passion'
The moment that passion appears in an expression,
it becomes a very attractive photo📸

Next time,
[Episode 2] Why photos of female entrepreneurs change business📸
I will talk about this.
Actually, a profile photo is
not just a headshot.
SNS
Website
Landing Page
Seminars
In every situation
a photo is the brand itself
it becomes.
Why do photos change business?
I would like to talk about
what I felt on the portrait photography set📸
If you read this article and
"Photos are really important✨"
"I feel a little more encouraged😊"
If you feel that way,
I would be happy if you could support me with a Like♡.
And
I hope that more wonderful photos that convey the charm of mom entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs will increase all over Japan📸✨
