What is the best time of the day for an Outdoor Portrait Photo shoot - Personal Brand Photographer Sussex UK

September 6, 2019

As a photographer, I am always looking fore the best light for my outdoor, inspired by nature portrait photo session with inspiring and creative women.

This “golden hour” has been my obsession lately, when the sun is quite low in the sky and you can feel the last touches of its warmth on your skin.

And just a few minutes before the sunset, the sky is full of warm shades of orange, dancing with fiery red and intense pink. By catching the perfect moment, we can turn this magical view into a piece of art, where your beauty is fully supported by delicious, soft and flattering light.

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman? - Personal Brand Portrait Photo session

August 5, 2019

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman?

Both are powerful yet showing their strength in a distinct way.

As a Professional Personal Brand Portrait Photographer and Retreat Photographer based in “sunny” UK, Sussex area, I strive to be surrounded with women who trust and surrender to the flow of life. It may even be at its simplest, the state when we just are, and we know that we are exactly where we should be.

Are you “the water” or “the rock”? or BOTH like me!

This creates a personal connection between herself and her audience, makes her services look more professional and enables her to build trustful, loyal and long-lasting relationships with her clients.

How to express your authentic self and boost your confidence during Professional Portrait Photo session - London & Brighton Photographer

December 9, 2018

During my phone consultations, I often hear women admit that they feel shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera. For them, a professional portrait photo shoot can be seen as a challenging and scary thing to do. 

While I believe in the benefits and power of going out of our comfort zone, I also think that a photo session should be a fun, unique and exciting experience and an opportunity for a woman to shine, get in touch with herself and express who she is in the most authentic way.

Tango passion and community spirit with Leigh Tango through the eyes of dancer and photographer

Our modern world can be so demanding on us especially when it comes to careers and professional achievements. Our minds get so busy all the time with deadlines to fulfil, goals to pursue, opportunities to seize, new clients to reach... But how about our bodies? How about our emotional states? And how about our general state of well-being?

I'm so lucky to work with amazing women on a daily basis! I am totally passionate about helping them showcase the heart of their business and share their essence, passion, stories and authenticity with the world.
