Before you've

Personal branding photography for founders, entrepreneurs and professionals who need more than a headshot: a distinctive library of images created around you, your business and how you want to be seen.

who you are.

said a word.

More than a few good photos.

A complete visual toolkit.

A personal branding shoot is designed around how you actually show up in your business. We plan the locations, wardrobe, settings and types of image you need in advance, creating a varied but coherent collection of images you can use across your website, social media, PR, presentations and marketing.

The result isn’t just a few headshots. It’s a visual system built around you.

One image can only do so much.

A varied image library gives you the right photograph for different platforms, audiences and purposes.

Your website

Hero images, About pages, service pages and supporting photography that make the site feel genuinely yours.

Social & content

Marketing

Photography for presentations, campaigns, newsletters and anything where your presence is part of the message.

The photography starts

before the shoot.

With more than 20 years' experience as a Creative Director and commercial photographer, I approach personal branding as a creative brief rather than simply a portrait session.
 

Before we shoot, we'll establish what the images need to achieve, where they'll be used and how you want to be perceived. From there, we can plan the right locations, wardrobe, backgrounds, props and visual approach.
 

That preparation gives the shoot direction - and gives you a much more useful collection of photographs at the end of it.

Built around your brand.

Not a formula.

In your environment

Images that give people context - where you work, what you do and the world around your business.

The wider story

Details, wider compositions, objects, spaces and imagery that gives you greater variety across your content.

One shoot.

A lot more possibilities

A single well-planned shoot can create far more than one kind of image. For Pavinder Boparai and her team, we combined individual portraits, environmental photography and team shots to create a varied but visually consistent collection.

The brief

Create a distinctive set of professional images for Pavinder Boparai and her team, combining strong individual portraits with more relaxed, environmental photography and a consistent set of team images.

The approach

We photographed a range of individual and group setups within the same location, using its different interiors, backgrounds and available light to create variety while keeping the collection visually connected.

The result

One shoot produced everything from polished professional headshots to environmental portraits and team photography: a versatile image library with different options for profiles, websites, PR and marketing.
