Your story is worth telling and it deserves to be shared. When it comes to personal branding, your image reflects who you are, what you value, and how you want your audience to feel when they interact with you. Personal branding photography expresses that story through compelling, consistent imagery that connects across every platform you use.
Why Storytelling Matters in Branding
Audiences want to engage with people and brands they can relate to, and in the words of Bob Burg, people do business with those who like they like, know and trust. The same is true for personal branding – if people feel that they like you, they are more likely to want to get to know you and the more they know you, the more their trust is built. Whether you’re a coach, influencer, wellness professional, real estate agent, or creative entrepreneur, or simply want to increase your online presence, your network is drawn to the person behind the brand. They want to get to know you. Personal branding photography communicates your presence, personality, and purpose in a way that builds connection and credibility.
These visuals often communicate more than words alone ever could. A well thought-out and intentional collection of branding images for your website and social media helps to establish that trust, highlight your process, and showcases your expertise in action. When reinforced with photography for social media, your brand presence becomes more approachable and memorable.
With our personal branding photography you have the opportunity to visually tell your story. What messaging do you want to convey?
What are the Key Elements of Story-Driven Personal Branding Photography?
- Headshots with Personality
Forget stiff poses and blank expressions, we don’t do that here. Our modern personal branding photography focuses on portraits that feel real, confident, and true to who you are, and the story you want to tell. These are the kinds of headshots that feel natural and down-to-earth, without compromising on your professionalism. - Lifestyle Imagery That Captures the Real You
For lifestyle imagery, we’ll plan a whole session that shows more than a headshot ever could. This is tailored to you, and could include moments like chatting with clients, recording a podcast, taking a call at your desk, or posing in your favorite coffee shop with your laptop in hand. These images help potential clients and your followers to see what your work looks like, and helps them form an understanding of what it might be like connecting with you. - Workplace and Behind-the-Scenes Photos
From cozy home offices, to your brick-and-mortar location, and bustling co-working spaces in-between, showing your real environment adds dimension to your story. It helps your audience understand how and where the magic happens. The sky is really the limit here – we have captured personal branding portraits everywhere from a shed conversion in the back yard to strolling along the sand at the beach! - Branded Touchpoints and Details
We’ll help you plan your session with personal branding in mind, and we’ll guide you on the perfect props and outfits to reinforce your brand messaging. - Photography for Social Media
Photography for social media should feel natural and conversational while remaining cohesive with your overall brand. With a mix of portraits, behind-the-scenes content, and lifestyle moments, we’ll make sure you are left with beautiful, impactful images to post.
