Personal Brand Photography
in Chislehurst
Your brand photography shoot is the chance to showcase your brand's personality, what you stand for and what makes you unique in your marketplace.
There are plenty of fantastic environments local to Chislehurst that we can use: your place of work (home, office, studio, workshop, coffee shop), Scadbury Park Nature Reserve, The National Trust property Petts Wood and so many more.
Creating bespoke visuals for your brand starts a few weeks before your shoot day in Chislehurst.
1. I’ll research everything about your brand: the voice; website; colours; social media presence; competitors.
2. We’ll have at least one, but it's usually two video consultations to discuss a number of things: target audience, unique brand attributes, key messaging in line with your marketing, how you will use your images, outfit options, locations in and around Chislehurst, backdrops, posing and how I will help to guide you throughout, props to support your brand messaging and so much more.
3. I’ll work on a shot list based on all of this information and we’ll run through it in advance to ensure you come away with exactly what you need with imagery for all your marketing channels, in all the right formats to ensure maximum usability.
Why do I do all of this?
Because in my previous career, I spent 17 years helping large household name brands to work out who their target audience is and how to use different media channels to communicate with them effectively. Now I use all of this expertise to help my Brand Photography clients to come away with imagery that they love and that does exactly what they need it to do.
Let me know if you’d like to book in for a no obligation video consultation to start the work to ensure your visuals are absolutely on brand.
"How do I know if I’m ready for a Personal Branding shoot?”
A few things to think about or to discuss with your photographer before your shoot...
Crucial questions to ask yourself to determine whether you’re ready are:
Who is my core target audience?
What are my brand’s key attributes?
What messaging do I want to communicate with my audience?
…and ensure that your photographer discusses all of this before your branding shoot, alongside your brand colours, the environments in which the imagery will be used: website, social media, printed materials etc and the types of messaging they will sit alongside.
A good photographer will talk to you about outfits and location within Chislehurst and offer some tips for preparation for your personal branding shoot. A GREAT photographer will discuss how your 3 key pieces of information outlined above impact on choices of outfit, location, styling, backdrop colours, editing style and posing to ensure you communicate exactly what you need to in your branding imagery.
My background is a 17-year career in communications planning, so I know the importance of really understanding your brand before even picking up my camera.
