Personal Branding photography helps creatives, small businesses and entrepreneurs tell their story about their brand in their way.
The digital age has meant small businesses need an online presence and there is a continual demand to create online content that represents your brand. Personal branding photography can be headshots for your website, brand content for Instagram or inspiring photographs for posts on Linkedin. The key is always making these images represent you authentically and ensuring you stand out from the competition. I previously worked in Management Consulting and have experience helping clients define who they are, what they have to offer and who their customers are. I love working with businesses to understand, what sets you apart and what values are important to you.
My personal branding photography develops a series of portraits based on your brand and tells your story. Images that are fresh, thought provoking and honest. Whether you are at the start of defining your brand or have a very clear idea of the story you want to tell, I would love to hear from you and help you bring your personal brand to life.
Based in Twickenham, I offer Personal Branding Photography in and around the M25.
Where do the Personal Branding Photography sessions take place?
Both outside on location or inside at your office or home.
* Office or home: Photographing at your home or office will really help you to tell the story of where you and your brand is from and what your everyday work life looks like. It can give your customers a real sense of who you are and why they should work with you.
*Due to COVID 19 I can only offer this service if you have a large enough space that we can socially distance.
On location: During our consultation session we can discuss locations and choose one that fits with your brand and the story you are looking to tell.
When is the best time of day for a Personal Branding photography session?
When photographing outside the best time is around sunrise or sunset to get soft, attractive lighting which will make your photographs extra special.
If we are photographing at your office or home, then morning is normally best, while the sun is still high in the sky.
What happens before the Personal Branding photography session?
To ensure the images really show you and your brand authentically, I will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to find out more about you, your business, your customers, your values and your company vision.
We will also have a consultation meeting before the session, which will cover the following:
- Run through how the session works
- Establish who you are, what you offer and who your customers are
- Develop ideas for the shoot based on your brand
- Discuss styling and locations
- Cover any questions either of us have
Most importantly the consultation session is a chance for us to meet, either in person or virtually. Meeting prior to the session will mean you get to know me and helps put you at ease before getting in front of my camera. My job is to guide you through this whole process and make you feel comfortable, so you are relaxed and confident by the time I pick up my camera.
What should I wear to the Personal Branding photography session?
I will have a consultation meeting with you to talk in detail about clothing, colours and styles that work well for you and your brand. I will share a style guide with you to help you when thinking about what to wear and what will make the photographs really pop. The main thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing, as that will shine through in the photographs.
How long after the Personal Branding photography session will it take to see the photographs?
They will be delivered to an online gallery within 6 weeks of the session.
I’m not sure yet if you are the photographer for me?
If you’re unsure and would just like to find out more, I’d be happy to have a chat to understand a bit more about what you are looking for and explain more about my services and let you see if I’m a good fit for you.
What measures do you have in place for Coronavirus?
My business has put a series of preventative measures in place to combat the risk from Coronavirus. These measures include, observing the 2 metre social distancing rule for all sessions, regularly washing hands and using antibacterial hand sanitiser, cleaning all equipment after each session, wearing a mask and gloves. If you have any concerns I am happy to talk through in more detail how this will work.
