LIFESTYLE VS BRANDING

Branding Photography:

Purpose: Showcase a company or individual's brand identity.

Focus: Professionalism, consistency, and conveying a specific message about the brand.

Examples: Images of a team in a work setting, product shots, headshots with a clean background.

Lifestyle Photography:

Purpose: Capture the essence of someone's life or a brand's personality.

Focus: Authenticity, emotions, and capturing people in their natural environment.

Examples: Candid photos of people interacting with products, families enjoying themselves outdoors, close-up details of someone's workspace.

Sometimes, branding photos can incorporate lifestyle elements. For example, a team headshot might be taken outdoors in a relaxed setting to convey a more approachable company culture.

Lifestyle photos can also be used for branding purposes if they effectively communicate the brand's personality. For example, a clothing brand might use lifestyle photos of people wearing their clothes in everyday situations
