What’s Your Brief?

I'm not a mind reader.
Help me understand what you need.😏

Every so often, I’ll get an enquiry that goes something like this:

“We’ve seen your work, and we need photos of our business. How much?”

It sounds simple enough.

But here’s the reality: without a brief, it’s a bit like walking into a restaurant and saying, “I want food, how much?” The answer depends on whether you want the Heston Blumenthal 7-course menu or a fish finger sandwich.

Without you saying as much wastes time and confuses what you really want 😉

The same applies to photography and video for your brand.

A few tips:

* Think outcome first: Imagine the photos already exist. Where are they being used? What reaction do you want people to have?

* Be specific: “Photos for the website” is fine, but “hero images for the homepage banner + team headshots for the About page” is even better.

* Share references: If you’ve seen styles you like, include links, or even better, define your brand guidelines (colours, logo, ethos, purpose, etc.).

* Think about the Who, why, where, what and when of your visual content goals

Still stuck - Get in contact, and I'll help you write your statement of requirements, so we're on the same page 🙏

A bit more good news for Graham Baker Photography!

I’ve picked up another accolade 😊

I’ve been named a winner in the SME News Greater London Enterprise Awards for Best Commercial Photographer 2026

One day I might be helping a business owner feel more confident in front of the camera. The next, I might photograph a team, capture an event, film a promotional video, or get the drone up to show a business from a completely different perspective.

It’s my job to help you tell your story visually.

Awards are a nice bonus, but the real satisfaction comes from seeing my clients use the images and videos to promote their businesses and connect with the people they want to reach.

A big thank you to everyone who has booked me, recommended me or supported Graham Baker Photography.

If we haven't worked together yet, perhaps that’s one for the future! 🙂

Don't ask me. Ask my clients. 🙏🏽
I have over 220 5-Star reviews on Google - This is just one of them 🙏

Testimonial for corporate team headshot photography 😊

"We recently worked with a Corporate Headshot Photographer in the South East, with sessions in East Grinstead, Brighton and Sandwich, to update headshots for around 100 staff members. The process was smooth, professional, and well organised, with a relaxed approach that put everyone at ease, even those not comfortable in front of the camera. The final images are high-quality, consistent, and perfectly suited for our website, LinkedIn, and internal use. We’d highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a professional corporate headshot photographer. " -Brown & Brown

Great brand photography isn’t just about looking the part; it’s about telling the whole story.

When I worked with Janice, a health, wellness and fitness coach in Kent, we didn’t just show what she does, we captured who she is, how she works, and why her clients trust her.

Because when you’re building a personal brand, especially in coaching or wellness, people buy into you. So your visuals need to:

📸 Reflect your energy and values
🧭 Align with your message and mission
🛍️ Act as your ‘shop window’, helping you connect before you even speak

And instead of me telling you how it went, I asked Janice to share what the experience meant to her, and how it’s helping her grow her business.

Read the case study and hear it in her own words:

A little bit of news to share... 😊

I've been notified that I've been named

“Enterprise of the Year 2027, United Kingdom”

by Global Publishing Media Group, as part of its SME500 UK recognition.

It's always nice to have a little recognition, so thank you to the team for including me! 🙏

So, another little award to add to the collection. 😉

And, as always, a big thank you to the clients who trust me to help tell their stories.

Here's to more good people, interesting projects and great images & video! 💯

More Than Just a Photographer: What else do I bring to the table?

It’s easy to say, “I create authentic imagery.”
But what does that really mean?

What makes my approach different from that of any other photographer? (or as some like to say, “What’s my USP”)

Well, here’s the truth: the best photography sessions don’t start with a camera. They start with what you need and what I bring to the table to help you achieve your goals.

I don’t just point and shoot. I listen, ask questions, and help you dig into the "why" behind your brand so we can reflect it clearly and confidently in your visuals.

This is the coaching mindset.

Your website is your shop window, so what’s it really showing your potential clients?

For service-led professionals, your website and branding are often the very first impression people have of you. And if your visuals don’t reflect who you are - confident, approachable, trustworthy - then you risk attracting the wrong clients or none at all.

That’s why I loved working with Sadie, a confidence coach based in Kent, to create brand photography that reflects:

📸 Her energy and personality
💬 Her values and tone of voice
💡 Her approach to helping others

And rather than me telling you what it’s like to work with me, Sadie explains in her own words how brand photography has helped grow her confidence and her business.

Take a look, it might help you rethink what your own visuals are saying:

“I just want it to look like me, but professional. So, how can you take a photo of me that genuinely reflects my personality and brand?”

Sound familiar?
Is this you?

Well, I hear it all the time!

And what you’re really saying to me is:

“I want to look confident, credible, and approachable… without losing who I am.”

Because authenticity in headshots isn’t just about a flattering photo, it’s about capturing your personality, values, and brand identity in one frame.

It's not AI 😏

So, here's how I approach it.
