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.

Increase your online business visibility with scroll stopping headshots photography Brighton UK

August 2, 2022

You scroll, you scroll, and you stop. Why? Because something evokes emotions within you!

Based on years experience as Brighton-based professional female photographer I know that sharing powerful scroll-stopping brand portrait and business headshot images of you (full of expression, emotions, authentic with explosion of colours) will do that! Your professional brand portraits and headshots MUST be powerful and eye catching to stop the scroll in 3 seconds.

That’s what Andrea said when I arrived at her house for her personal brand portrait photoshoot in Hurstpierpoint Sussex, a 10 minute car drive from Brighton and Hove.

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

June 21, 2021

Did you know, 90% of what is communicated is not spoken! It is in the microexpressions, it’s in the body language, it’s in the silence, it’s in the energy between us, it’s in your vibration.

These tiny almost-imperceptible facial expression offer us the best window into our emotions, feelings and inner world.

I often manage my clients microexpressions on our portrait photoshoots without them even knowing. It makes them more confident and makes the shoot more enjoyable. Learn how:
