Lifestyle branding portrait photography with Buckinghamshire glass artist

August 22, 2023

As a creative entrepreneur, portrait photographer and abstract artist, based in Brighton (often in London), I always feel over the moon to photograph other artist and creatives. Before the shoot we talked about what pictures Susanne needed for her website and social media and we both agreed to focus on: story-telling brand images and glamorous, full of personality, portraits.

Business headshots vs Personal branding portrait photography

July 8, 2023

What’s the difference between headshots and brand photography? As a portrait photographer I’ve worked with numerous women in business from the Brighton and London area and most of them ask me the same question.

So I decided to write this blog because personal branding portrait photography is so much more than just traditional business headshots…

How I captured this epic brand portrait images. Brighton and London photographer.

June 27, 2023

What if I tell you… this epic personal brand portrait photoshoot in London only happened because my client fully trusted me as a photographer.

She never questioned me.

She didn’t give me a massive list of the things I needed to capture.

She just said to me: I want you to do your thing!

Don't forget to smile! Brighton portrait photographer

May 30, 2023

As an empath, introvert and camera shy myself (yes, professional female photographers can be camera shy too!) I take time on the day of photoshoot so you can relax, take deep breaths and let go of any stress, worries and concerns.

I love capturing spontaneous smiles, sparkles in the eyes and big generous hearts when I photograph women who follow their passion.

And no, I don’t say funny jokes to makes you laugh.

Quite the opposite.

I simply create a safe and welcoming space on the day of your personal brand portriat photoshoot so you can just BE yourself.

Why am I saying NO to stock images on your website by UK branding portrait photographer

June 7, 2022

As a Brighton based professional personal brand portrait photographer I see many beautifully designed websites, with a professional logo, but with the same cheap-looking stock images and not a single photo of the person behind the brand.

That’s why I do what I do: I humanise your online presence with authentic lifestyle business portraits and headshots so you feel confident and proud enough to inject them on to every page of your website.

April 29, 2022

A lot of business owners put off investing in their personal brand photoshoot (or business headshot photoshoot) because they don’t know what location to choose.

So here’s an idea: Use your own house as a location for your upcoming portrait photo-session?
