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.

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!

Fear of facing the camera? How to overcome it for your professional photo session - UK Portrait photographer

October 12, 2020

Being in front of the camera can be intimating for some people, and if you are a little camera shy like me (yes, I also get shy in front of the camera) being in nature can help you to feel much more relaxed and peaceful.

Nature has this beautiful quality which helps you to slow down and to disconnect from your busy lifestyle. I take a full advantage of this personally and during photoshoot with my clients.

How to choose a perfect location for the Personal Brand Portrait Photo session?

July 17, 2019

Yay, location, Location, LOCATION! 

One of my favourite aspects of being a professional portrait photographer is the chance to leave the inside of four walls behind…

and explore…

Choosing those, rather than yet another place you could probably expect all the local photographers shoot at, makes the photos truly stand out! It is all driven by the fact that YOU are so unique – the location of the photo session should reflect YOU, be just like you, just right, matching your personality, extract the essence of your passion and business purpose.
