Personal Branding Photography in Bristol
You are the business. Your photography needs to show it.
People make judgements fast. Your images are often the first thing a potential client sees, before they read a word you’ve written or hear you speak. If those images don’t show you as credible, approachable and worth paying attention to, you’ve lost them before the conversation starts.
I’ve been creating idea-led branding photography for businesses and individuals since 1997. Fashion and advertising trained, which means every image is lit, framed and directed with a purpose. Not just to look good, but to say something specific about you and what you do.
The result is photography that works hard across your website, LinkedIn, proposals, press and social media and that still looks right twelve months from now.
Choose a single studio session, a half-day editorial shoot, or a year-round subscription.

Branded Studio Portraits
Your photos are often the first thing a potential client sees. This session gives you a full set that looks like you, fits your brand and is ready to use the day it arrives.
Two hours at my South Bristol studio, with an online brand call beforehand.
What you get
A plan before the day. On the brand call we go through your styling and wardrobe, so you arrive knowing what to wear.
Headshots that stand out. Fashion-style lighting, set to suit your brand and made to stop the scroll.
Portraits that go further. Props from your own business, space left for text and logos, and posing direction so you look natural and on brand. No clichéd coffee cups, laptops or phones!
40+ finished images. Edited and colour graded to reflect your brand, delivered within 48 hours, ready for your website, LinkedIn, proposals and social media.
Business use included. No extra licence fees.
Investment: £675, including all editing and delivery.
HOW IT WORKS:
An online call. We talk through your brand, your clients and where you're heading, so the shoot is built around the future-focused you.
The shoot. Styling, props and framing are agreed beforehand, so the session itself runs smoothly.
Your images. Everything is edited and coloured to suit your brand, then delivered ready for your website, social media and press.

I have a BA (Hons) in Editorial Photography from the University of Brighton, and I built my career in fashion and advertising. Fashion taught me how to light and direct people so they look their best. Advertising taught me what an image has to do: stop the scroll, say who you are, and leave room for your logo and message. You get portraits with a magazine finish that also work as marketing.

Year-Round Brand Subscription
Have the right image ready whenever you need it. Four two-hour shoots spread across the year, plus a designer on hand to turn them into posts, web pages and branded graphics.

Photos for the moments that matter. A studio session, a location shoot, the conference or book signing where you're speaking, or a day working with a client. You choose each one as the year goes on.
A steady stream of content. 200+ finished images over the year, edited and coloured to reflect your brand, so you're never scrambling for something to post.
A designer on hand. I size images for posting and for your website, add your logos and create GIFs, so you get finished content, not raw files.
One look, all year. The same photographer and the same style every time, so your brand looks consistent everywhere.
Business use included. No extra licence fees, and you keep using the images after the year ends.
