A room full of female founders 💡💡💡

One of the things that I offer, as a photographer is not just covering events but also providing a pop-up headshot studio at events. This can be a super easy way of giving your guests a new profile image for their business as part of their goody bag. It’s hassle free as they’re already looking fab for the event and only takes a couple of minutes away from their networking 🌟

Vaida Ska-McNeill set up Businettes UK, a brilliant community for female founders. She joins Victoria Arnhold and Claire Siegert who set up Businettes in France and Germany, the largest female founder communities in their countries 💫

Vaida ran a brilliant event recently in London and asked me to provide headshots as part of it. The whole evening was completely buzzing full of women talking all things business and social before some really inspiring talks by guest speakers, including cofounder of Olio, Tessa Clarke, featured here. Am so impressed that she managed to find the time for a quick headshot before she went on stage 😆

I usually set up in a corner of the main part of the event space, discreet enough not to get in the way or have everyone watching the headshots, but near enough to the crowds that it’s only a few steps to come for your micro headshot session. I’ll do a couple of different set ups in the same area so that there’s a nice variety of images to choose from afterwards in the online galleries.

Aside from creating fab new headshots for people, what is really great is that I get to speak to so many of them on a 1:1. What’s not to love!

Have a look at some of the exciting Businettes events coming up in London, I can really recommend them ☺️
