Personal branding photography doesn't have to follow a formula.

Three recent shoots. Very different women, personalities and businesses. And photographs that couldn't be more different!

My approach is always the same, with plenty of preparation and collaboration, but also room for those wonderful unexpected moments.

I've shared more about these shoots and why I love creating photographs that are as individual as the women in them, in my latest article in THOUGHTS on my website.

Same approach. Different women. Photographs that are entirely their own.

One of my favourite parts of photographing women is getting to know them before we even start taking photographs.

I love hearing about their work, their experiences, what matters to them and how they'd like to come across.

And it's amazing how much those conversations shape the photographs we create together.

Because what feels absolutely right for one woman might feel completely wrong for another.

It's why I spend so much time getting to know my clients and planning their shoots with them.

Same approach but always a very individual experience.

There's a reason I always photograph using natural light.

Actually, there are two.

Firstly, it's incredibly flattering. The difference between harsh sunlight and lovely soft, natural light can be enormous.

But just as importantly, it changes how the whole experience feels.

Being photographed can already feel a little intimidating, especially if you're not someone who particularly enjoys being in front of the camera.

Add a load of studio lights and equipment, and suddenly it can all feel rather more daunting.

I love being able to keep things simple, relaxed and natural.

And I think that makes a huge difference to the photographs too.

One of the things I love about photographing different women is that no two shoots ever turn out the same.

My approach doesn't really change. We talk, we plan, we get to know each other, and we work together throughout the shoot.

But the photographs? They're always different.

Because every woman brings her own personality, energy and story.

And that's exactly how it should be.

I'll be sharing a little more about in next week's newsletter.

A professional photograph can look perfectly polished and still feel slightly wrong.

Maybe it’s too formal.

Too distant.

Too posed.

Or simply not very you.

For me, the real test is this:

When someone meets you after seeing your photograph, do they recognise the same person?

That’s what matters.

The photograph should reflect how you actually come across — your authority, your energy, your warmth, your calm.

Not a version of you created for the camera.

One of the things I’m always conscious of when photographing senior people is not making the photographs so formal or polished that the person disappears underneath them.

Of course the images still need to feel credible and appropriate.

But they also need to feel like you.

Because when someone meets you after seeing your photograph, there shouldn’t be a disconnect.

The authority, warmth, energy or calm they saw in the image should feel recognisable in the person standing in front of them.

That, to me, is what a strong professional photograph does.

It doesn’t just make you look the part.

It feels like you.

Are we overcomplicating business photographs?

What should I wear? Where should we take the photographs? How should I look?

Questions I hear all the time!

And I think we sometimes make the whole business of having professional photographs taken far more complicated than it needs to be.

My advice? Don't reinvent yourself for your business photographs.

Your photographs should reflect the person your clients are actually going to meet.

I've shared a few more thoughts on this in my latest THOUGHTS piece on my website: Are we overcomplicating business photographs?

I'd love to hear what you think!

Most of us have quite a narrow idea of what a “professional photograph” should look like.

Formal.
Polished.
Safe.

And sometimes that’s exactly right.

But professional doesn’t have to mean corporate.

You can look authoritative without looking severe.

Approachable without looking lightweight.

Senior without removing every trace of personality.

The better question is:

How do you want to be seen?

That’s what I’ll be exploring in Wednesday’s newsletter.

What happens when I photograph someone senior?

Not that much differently, actually.

Because whatever someone’s job title is, they’re still standing on the other side of my camera wondering what to do with their hands.

And often saying some version of:

“I’m not very good at this.”

So we talk.

We move around.

I give direction when it’s useful.

I show photographs as we go.

And gradually they stop thinking quite so much about being photographed.

Because when it comes to being in front of the camera, seniority doesn’t really make any difference.

You might need a photograph that feels authoritative for one context.

Something more open for another.

A strong speaking image.

A relaxed LinkedIn image.

Something with more personality for an article or interview.

They’re not different versions of you.

They’re different parts of the same person.

That’s why I love creating a collection of photographs rather than one single “official” headshot.
