What is involved in a personal branding photoshoot?

Lifestyle Photography

Styled photos of you in your element. What is it that you do? Are you a floral designer? A personal trainer? A lawyer? A life or business coach? A nutritionist? Whatever it is that you do, let’s tell your story together. We’ll create natural and relaxed portraits in your environment as well as ‘at work’ or ‘at play’ kinds of images that will capture more of your brand personality.

Styled Flat Lay

Flat lay images are a great tool for your visual branding. A glimpse into your style. Add colour to your website and create a visual flow with your social media. Beautifully styled flat lay photographs will enhance your brand.

Custom Stock Photography

What kind of feeling do you want to create? Custom stock photos created specifically for your brand can be used in many ways. Use these images as conversation starters. Add colour and visual flow to your brand. Think about what it is that you want to share with your audience over the next 3-6 months and what kinds of photographs will be valuable to share this content.

A lot of creativity goes into producing images for your personal brand.

The photographs that we create together will give your clients a glimpse into the personality of your brand and what it’s like to work with you.

Let’s keep it fun! Most people don’t love getting their photos taken, and over the past 19 years of working with and photographing people, I have heard from many of my clients that “I’m not photogenic”, or “I don’t feel comfortable getting my photos taken.”

I get that. I’m also nervous about getting my own photos taken.

I think that one of the most important things when choosing a photographer to work with is to find a photographer that you connect with, one that listens to you, and a photographer that produces the kinds of images that you can envision for your own brand.

When you’re feeling confident and comfortable in your skin,  you literally light up the room and this will show in your images.

Photographs play a large role in your overall visual brand strategy.

The photographs that we create together will provide you with a great selection of digital assets to market your brand across various platforms.

I have always believed in quality over quantity.

I believe in the art of the photograph, in paying attention to detail, and in providing you with a luxury photography experience.

When you work with me, we will focus on creating a collection of curated photographs rather than rushing through the session just to create as many images as possible.

Why are post-production and professional retouching important?

I take much care in delivering the highest quality of final photographs to you. After the session, I’ll go through all the images and thoughtfully make selects of all the best images to present to you in your proof gallery. At this stage, the images have had initial edits.

Once you narrow down your favourites into a curated collection of images, the process of professional retouching begins. Professional retouching is an art in itself and requires much time to be done properly. All of the work before, during the shoot, and after are equally important to ensure the highest quality of images for your personal brand.

My background & experience.

I have had vast experience over my almost 20-year career in photography. I have been on full-day advertising photo shoots in which we produced 4 final images from the day with a large creative team where attention to detail, technical lighting, creative direction, styling, and more were needed for the scope of the project. I have also photographed hundreds of weddings over the years which is one of the most fast-paced photography industries.

With my personal branding sessions, I want you to feel relaxed, never rushed, excited, and confident. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy the overall experience and love your curated collection of images. I will draw upon my broad range of experience to the shoot.
