Elevate Your Brand Through Photography
Capture Authenticity and Expertise with High-Quality, Story-Driven Images
Personal brand photography is an art form that uses high-quality images to tell the story of your brand. It positions you as an expert in your field and gives your clients and audience an authentic brand experience. In addition, a great headshot should capture your personality and individuality, rather than looking like a typical mugshot (minus the height lines)

Tell your brands story with images
What is the difference between a headshot and branding?
A headshot is a short session where we focus on images of you looking directly at the camera. These images are typically used as profile photos on professional networking sites like LinkedIn or on company websites. The shoot generally lasts for about an hour and offers various outfit options, but the style of the images remains similar.
On the other hand, branding photography is a more comprehensive shoot where we spend a few hours capturing a variety of images in different locations, such as your office, outdoors or kitchen. These images showcase your personality and the essence of your brand, and can be used across a range of mediums, including blog posts, websites, articles, and social media. Branding photography provides you with a full range of images that can be used to enhance your brand and give it a more authentic and relatable feel.
Branding Photography or Stock Images?
Considering your brand's visuals, personal branding photography is crucial. As a corporate photographer, I know this builds credibility and trust. Here's why:
• Authenticity: Customised images offer an authentic look into your world. They reveal your personality, values, and work ethic. This humanises your business for potential clients.
• Trustworthiness: Seeing you in action inspires trust. Clients feel confident in your abilities, and feel they know you just a little bit.
• Consistency: Consistent visuals create a cohesive brand identity. This reinforces your message and increases brand familiarity.
• Stand Out: Customised photography distinguishes you from your peers using generic stock images. Unique, high-quality images make a lasting impression.
• Tailored to Your Brand: Personalised photography aligns with your brand values, mission, and style. Specific colours, props, and locations create a resonant visual identity.
Investing in professional branding photos builds credibility and trust. Showcase your authentic self, create a consistent visual identity, and stand out.

How does it work?
-
Step 1
Book your Session.
It’s always best to book your photo session in advance, especially if you are working towards a specific deadline, or wrangling multiple staff. It’s also important to take the time required for photo selection and editing into account when booking your branding or headshot session. So, fill in the form, and I will give you a call and find a time that works for you.
-
Step 2
Know your Brand.
To ensure that your brand photos are, well, on-brand; it’s important to have your brand guidelines in order. Your brand guidelines should describe the colours, fonts, personality, tone and visual identity of your brand. My goal is to paint the perfect picture of what it is you do, and what sets you apart from your competition. Your branding photos will provide an important glimpse into what it would be like to work with you and should feel consistent with the messaging you use throughout your marketing and communications. I also encourage the use of Pinterest for inspiration and ideas, feel free to share a board with me that includes images that resonate with you
-
Step 3
Brainstorming
Personal branding photos are versatile, used on websites, promotional materials, blogs, ads, social media, headers, and banners. Planning and analysing are crucial. Knowing image usage helps me determine the format—vertical, horizontal, or square for Instagram. Let me know about text space requirements to plan image backgrounds accordingly. We’ll also discuss your brand guidelines, and any preferences you have regarding colours or composition. We can do this together, in-person, over the phone or by Zoom.
-
Step 4
On the Day
I'll guide you through a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I'll direct you on posing for the best shots, so you don’t have to think about where to stand or what to do with your hands. Branding shoots capture a mix of lifestyle images, headshots, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. Expect the shoot to last about 3 hours. Headshot shoots are shorter, typically only taking around an hour for one person.
-
Step 5
Selecting and Edition
In most cases, I’ll have my set up with me on the day to showcase your images, and help you make selections. It’s important to select a variety of images that can be used in multiple ways to make the most of your shoot.
Once you have narrowed down your selection, your images will be retouched. This includes things like removing blemishes, lightening under your eyes, fixing fly away hair etc. The goal of retouching is to enhance, not to be fake. Your final images will then be uploaded to an online gallery from where you can download the high-resolution images.
