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!

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.

I discovered my heart of creation at the Writing Retreat - Professional Retreat Photographer & Videographer

June 23, 2019

Me, my camera, my journal and pen! That’s what I packed for the personal branding film and photography project with Agatha, a professional writer and a writing retreat organiser.

But let’s be honest!

I was not only excited to capture the essence and the atmosphere of her beautiful seven day women writing retreat BUT mostly excited to take part in the retreat myself.

Why?

Because for many years, writing, blogging and journaling have been out of my comfort zone. I never truly enjoyed the process. I did not know where to start and how to express myself freely.

I have never been able to find a time for writing all day long without feeling guilty…

Female entrepreneurs really are superheroes! Yes, we are!

Whether you are working for yourself, are spinning a side hustle, or you are aspiring to quit the 9-5, running your own business is like roller-coaster. Most of us are juggling: family, partner, friends and working on making our business dreams into reality.

As much as it is an exciting journey… It could be a pretty lonely and isolated journey too!

But it does not have to be like that!

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.
