Personal Branding Photo Shoots in May 2023

Last month (May 2023), I enjoyed working with three great individuals in entirely different fields, and I loved it!

This is why I do what I do; I love to help these fantastic entrepreneurs build their businesses and help them with advice and the visual content they need to elevate and market their services.

The first shoot was with the excellent Leo 'Aces' Collins, who, despite his physical condition; Leo uses a motorised wheelchair and runs a successful coaching and motivational practice from his home in Suffolk. Leo needed a series of solid and engaging images for a new website he's now putting together with a web designer.

Because of his condition, Leo needed a more extensive range of photographs that fitted his desired aesthetic for the style and look required. So we made the most of multi locations to give Leo loads of choice and variety for all his website and media platforms.

Leo was over the moon with his finished images, which were all on-brand and told his remarkable story and more.

The second shoot this month was with Michael Barrington Hibbert. Michael works in central London and is a regular client of mine. This time, his brief was for images to be taken in the heart of the City of London. Michael needed these images for a new initiative he was planning. He also brought with him a visual consultant stylist to make sure all the scenes looked on point and that we covered all the scenarios on our shot- list, shoots which Michael needed for this new venture. Photographing in the City of London is a dream.

I used many of the wonderful backdrops and scenes available in this location. The pictures were stunning, even if I say so myself, but more importantly, Michael loved the images and was more than happy with the finished results.

I also had the opportunity to use my new camera equipment, which I've decided to change over to. I've been, for all my career - a Nikon and Hasselblad photographer and probably always will be. But I've fallen in love with the new range of Fuji mirrorless cameras and have invested heavily in this new range of cameras and lenses. So I need to find my feet quickly with this system. The finished images are superb; these new smaller cameras are wonderful, if not a little complicated, to figure out. I used my Fujifilm new XT-5 and Xpro 3 cameras in combination with my Profoto flash system, and as you can see, the results are excellent. Cherry was blown away by the first images from her set, which is always a lovely welcome from a client.

Is it time you had a new fantastic set of Branding profile images for you and you or your business? Well, let me know, and let's jump on a call and discuss how I can help elevate your visual marketing presence.
