Who it is for
Who books this, and why
Founders and one-person businesses
When the company is the person, the website, the pitch deck and the press page all need that person in them, and one headshot repeated on every page reads as exactly that.
Coaches, trainers and consultants who post every week
A post a week is fifty-two images a year. Sixty photographs planned with room for text is the difference between a content calendar and a search through the camera roll every Monday.
Makers with a place to show
Ceramicists, architects, tailors, chefs: the workshop is part of the argument. One setting can be where the work happens, so the photographs show hands, tools and material as well as a face.

How it works
From the first message to your gallery
Send the list of places the images will go
Homepage banner, about page, a deck, a speaker profile, a social feed. Each destination fixes an orientation and whether there must be empty space for a headline.
Agree the settings and a shot list
We confirm a photographer, usually the same working day, and agree the two or three settings, the order of the afternoon, which outfit goes where and which frames each setting has to produce.
Two and a half hours, moving between settings
Each setting gets its share of the time and its own clothes. Working frames, portraits to camera and details are made in each one, so no setting ends up holding only one kind of image.
Sixty photographs in 72 hours
Retouched and delivered to a private gallery, with vertical and horizontal crops of every key frame, checked against the list you sent in the first step.
Four details — place, date, session and how to reach you — are enough for a written quote. Nothing to pay to ask.
Before the session
How to prepare
Short, practical, and the part most people skip. None of it costs anything, and all of it shows in the photographs.
- Write down every place the images will be used and bring the list; it becomes the shot list.
- Choose settings within walking distance of each other — time in a car is time not photographed.
- Bring one outfit per setting, ironed and on hangers, plus one spare top.
- Bring the objects of the work: the laptop, the notebook, the tools, the product.
- If a setting belongs to someone else — a café, a client’s office — get their permission before the day.
- Check your brand colours and leave at home anything that fights with them.

Frequently asked questions about Personal branding
Could we fit in a fourth setting?
Not well. With the change of clothes and the move between places, a fourth setting leaves each one with too little time to produce varied frames, and you end up with four thin sets instead of three useful ones. If you really need more, a longer session is an option quoted before you book.
Can a colleague or a client appear in some of the photographs?
Yes. A meeting, a consultation or a workshop reads better with a second person in it. Their time comes out of the same two and a half hours, so plan which setting they join rather than having them on hand all afternoon.
Are hair and make-up included?
No. The price covers the photographer’s time, the selection, the colour work and the gallery. If you want a make-up artist, book them for before the session starts and make sure they can touch you up between settings.
What happens if it rains on an outdoor setting?
The session moves to another day at no cost. If only one setting is outdoors, it is sometimes simpler to swap it for an indoor one on the day — decide that with the photographer the evening before.
Can I use the photographs to promote my business?
Yes, and it is agreed up front. The standard licence is personal; for a branding session the business use — website, press, social media, advertising — is written into the quote before the session, so it covers the list of destinations you sent in the first step.

The failure mode of a branding session is coming away with sixty versions of one photograph. Sixty images are only useful if they are different in the ways you will need them to be different: some with space for text and some without, some vertical and some horizontal, some of you working and some of you looking at the camera. That is a planning decision made before the session, not an editing decision made after it.
Two and a half hours covers two or three settings — a desk, a street, a workshop — with a change of clothes between them, which is what makes a single afternoon look like several days across a year of posts. Every key frame is delivered in vertical and horizontal crops so nothing has to be re-cropped by hand for each platform. Sixty retouched photographs, private gallery within 72 hours.
