A good election campaign image helps you succeed
The municipal elections are approaching in Hämeenlinna, and the candidates’ campaign photos are starting to appear everywhere. A good image is important because it’s often the first thing voters see about you. It can influence the first impression you make.
Why is a quality image important?
In politics, trust is important. Your photo says a lot about you. If it’s blurred, too dark or taken in a hurry, it doesn’t give the best possible impression. Instead, a good photo shows you to your advantage. It shows professionalism, transparency and confidence.
What kind of election campaign image should you use?
- Face and posture – The image should be trustworthy and friendly. Too rigid a look can feel distant, but too relaxed can give the wrong impression.
- Background and environment – A clear and calm background works best. That way, the viewer’s attention is focused on you.
- Lighting and image quality – Good lighting brings out your face and ensures that your image looks professional.
- Suitability for the campaign – The image should match the style of your campaign. The same image can be used on brochures, websites and social media, for example.
Example images suitable for election campaigns
A good campaign image is clear, professional and inspires confidence. Here are some examples of portraits that could be used in an election campaign. However, these are not election photos and the people in them are not candidates.
The purpose of the images is to show what kind of lighting, look and background can make a portrait strong and impressive.
A good image to support your campaign
A quality campaign image is not just an image – it’s a message. It shows that you are a serious candidate. A small investment in good photography can make a big difference.

Photographing a candidate in a German village


I had the opportunity to photograph a political candidate in a German village. We chose places that were familiar to his voters – places that represent the community and everyday life. By shooting him in these environments, the images feel authentic and believable, reinforcing his connection to the people he hopes to represent.
Shooting outdoors is another way to create a sense of trust and familiarity.
What are your perfect campaign photos?
