Why person behind the brand is as important as the commercial product photography.

April 4, 2022

I see many small business owners with a brand new product range launching websites with beautiful stylised high quality traditional commercial product photography and no picture of the person who actually designed them and runs the business. As a commercial lifestyle product and portrait photographer with years of experience, I’ve learned that the person behind the brand is as important as the product or service being offered.

Capturing facial microexpressions is my secret to create expressive portrait brand photos - UK Sussex female photographer

June 21, 2021
