Never feel good enough? My personal journey with Branding Photography – London & Brighton Female Portrait Photographer

January 11, 2020

I spent most of my life feeling “not good enough” ... Can you relate?

This feeling can manifest in different way…. “self-destruction” but in my case always was opposite pushing my boundaries and working even harder to prove myself my worth through achievements.

I spent the last ten years of my life working in the corporate world before following my passions as an International Personal Brand Portrait Photographer & Videographer, event organiser and mentor based in lovely Brighton & London.

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.

Today, I am thriving as a Personal Brand Portrait Photographer and love every aspect of my work. It fulfils me in many ways, allowing me to express my creativity and interact and build relationships with amazing people every day: businesswomen, freelancers, soloprenour, artists, online business owners, bloggers, designers, creative individuals and many more! Much more than a job, it is a way of life that reflects who I am and a lifestyle that I love. This love for what I do gives me the energy and excitement to get up every morning.

But it took me a long time to discover, or rather re-discover, my passion.

Grounded, relaxed, joyful and free. This is how taking photos in natural environments makes me feel. And I know that my clients feel the same way because all these qualities are reflected on their pictures. I find great inspiration in nature and thrive creatively as I play with the light, the sun, the elements, shapes of the trees and colours of flowers and leaves.

"I am not photogenic" - London & Brighton Portrait Photographer

April 29, 2018

“(…) but I’m not photogenic…” – I hear it a lot! Believe me, it doesn’t surprise me! Like many of you, I also get shy in front of the camera – and yes, a portrait photographer is saying it herself! After all, I’m not photogenic… But we wouldn’t be ourselves if we didn’t take chances and just go for it, would we? And such beauties are resulting from it! Just believe and LOVE yourself.
