Why you need more then traditional headshots on your website

July 31, 2023

Having a handful of professional quality business portrait images is a good start to launch a new business and website. It’s certainly better than using stock images.

6 secrets of good LinkedIn business headshots by UK Brighton based portrait photographer

August 17, 2022

Your LinkedIn business headshot is your online business card to connect and engage with your audience and potential clients. Yet as a professional portrait photographer (based in Brighton) I have seen thousands of LinkedIn accounts with:

  1. blank profile picture (this makes you less real in the virtual world)

  2. selfies (this sends a message of not being professional and serious)

  3. blurred low quality portrait image

  4. headshot with very distracting background

  5. very old cropped image from some sort of event or wedding!

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.

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:
