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.

8 Reasons Why You Should Do an In-Home Personal Branding Photo Session

April 29, 2022

A lot of business owners put off investing in their personal brand photoshoot (or business headshot photoshoot) because they don’t know what location to choose. As a Brighton and Hove (Sussex) based professional female portrait photographer I’ve learned that my clients sometimes find a public space (like a local cafe, shop, co-working space or outdoor area) might feel to overwhelming.

Why person behind the brand is as important as the commercial product photography.

April 4, 2022

I see many small business owners with a brand new product range launching websites with beautiful stylised high quality traditional commercial product photography and no picture of the person who actually designed them and runs the business. As a commercial lifestyle product and portrait photographer with years of experience, I’ve learned that the person behind the brand is as important as the product or service being offered.
