business-visibility – London Headshot & Branding Photographer

7 February 2024

A branding photoshoot full of chat, fun and creativity.

Personal Branding photoshoots are more detailed than headshots in that they delve a bit deeper into what your business offers and show even more of your amazing personality! They help people visualise working with you and potential customers will quickly get to know and trust your brand. We use your work tool props which are also great for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera – you’ll forget I’m even there 😁

Branding photoshoots are a very easy way of creating a bank of engaging images that take care of all your social media and website needs. You’ll never have to use stock images again hurray!

A few times a year I offer mini branding sessions on specific days, in great locations which suit multiple brands or can be adapted to their style. These are half hour mini photoshoots packed with as many outfits or props as we can. They are perfect for businesses with a smaller budget or who want to tip their toe into the water and discover what brand photography has to offer. I give plenty of advice and tips on how to prepare for your session and what to bring so you don’t need to worry about anything.

This is Glenda Shawley, who runs F abulous Networking, a brilliant set of network groups in and around London. Together, she and her members help each other’s businesses thrive, with practical solutions and moral support. Running a small business can be a very fulfilling but isolating experience and network groups can play an essential part in keeping people in good mental health. Glenda and I had a lovely half hour catching up in her mini branding session, with her doing what she does best: talking about working with people, and me capturing her warm, friendly personality. We did lots of different sets up using her everyday tools to give a flavour of her work, as well as incorporating elements of her book club for businesses. Glenda’s also a published author so obviously we included her very own book, Founded After 40 🌟

A photoshoot full of colour, laughter and creativity.

I love doing branding photoshoots and having the chance to talk to people about their business, the finer details of what they offer and how they approach their work. It’s a real privilege to get such a personal insight and understand the huge value that they give their customers. And this is what I aim to capture in their images, to enable them to share the insight and help customers and potential customers visualise how it would be to work with them.

Working with Jacqueline Douglas was a complete treat. An experienced interior designer and talented artist, she has a really deep understanding of how to create positive and uplifting environments with sustainable materials, often against tight budgets. We did her branding photoshoot in Brentford School for Girls, where she has been working for the past year or so, giving it a huge refurbishment. We tried to cover as many spaces as possible, incorporating headshots and action shots to show some of the different stages that are involved in her refurbishment work. Every room was a joy – the common room, staff room, maths block, arts block, reception area, canteen, corridors, break out spaces, garden quiet area – a never ending surprise of carefully curated colours and furnishing, many of which were preloved. The attention to detail was stunning as is the obvious boost to mental health that will be enjoyed by all the students and staff. It was a huge pleasure to capture it all in images.

Point of learning too, that there is evidence to show that artificial plants can provide great benefit for your well being, they don’t all have to be real 🪴
