WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR BUSINESS PORTRAIT SHOOT AT PROFILE STUDIO From wardrobe selection to the final edit, every step is tailored to ensure your portrait not only captures your personality but elevates your professional narrative. It's more than a photo - it's your introduction, your statement, your brand. 1. Preparation is key. 98% of our clients haven't been in front of a professional camera before. We developed a style guide which takes away the stress of preparing for the photoshoot. 2. Full guidance. You don't need to learn and practice posing at home. We'll guide you through the photo session and together find natural and true to you posing. 3. We help you to choose photos right after your photoshoot. Selecting your best images can be a difficult task. That's why right after the session we review your portraits together and select the best ones that fit your needs. 4. Your photos are ready the same day. They also come already cropped for you to use them right away on your LinkedIn profile. Are you ready to leave a lasting first impression?

⭐How to achieve a high-end professional look for your profile?⭐ Beyond the photographer's skills, which greatly impact the final result, preparation before the photo session is key. As with anything in life, taking the time to prepare leads to better outcomes. It’s important to follow your photographer's guidance—they have the experience and (hopefully) the good taste to steer you in the right direction. Personally, I listen to what my clients need, ask plenty of questions to understand their vision, and then present ideas that build on those requirements. My goal is to support my clients every step of the way, working together as a team because I want both of us to feel proud of the images we create. I always say that good portrait photographers don’t just take pictures—they craft them! For example, aim for harmony between your brand colours and your outfit, while also considering your target audience. But here’s another challenge: how do you know if you can trust that professional to deliver? I've written and made videos on this, but a quick tip is to look at their portfolio. If you love the aesthetic and how the people are captured, that’s a great sign. Lastly, your photographer’s personality matters. If you feel comfortable with them, you’re more likely to be at ease in front of the camera. So now you know—preparation is key to achieving a polished, professional look in your photos. Trust your photographer’s guidance, and choose someone whose work and personality align with your vision. It’s this partnership that leads to truly outstanding images. #professionalheashots #visualmarketingphotography #corporateheadshotphotographer #businessportraitphotographer #excecutiveheadshots

Why Choose Me as Your Photographer? It's Not What You Think! Because you love my style? Because you vibe with the things I say and do? Because of my reputation and the oodles of recommendations from happy customers? No, silly! Because of my good looks, of course?! I mean - just look at this guy 😍 There are other photographers, I suppose, like Steve Wright who took this photo. And he's pretty easy on the eye too (from certain angles). But if being easy on the eye isn't enough to sway you then, putting the above aside, you should book the photographer you feel most connected to. Because that connection will show in the portraits that we'll make together. Without that connection, you're just getting snapshots. And you and your business deserve more than that! If you want more than snapshots and/or you want to be seen around town with this guy - give me a shout. And if you'd just like this photo for your bedside table - DM for print orders! #ImTooSexy #PersonalBrandPhotography #Connection

How do you get maximum value from your professional corporate photography session and ensure you get the visual look that fits your brand? Allow me to Simply share a few tips:- Don’t select a photographer purely based on price alone - an important element is that you work with someone whose style of imagery, experience and vision suits you. Additionally, it's vital, if you are capturing you or your team that the photographer understands people. Involve the photographer from the outset when forming the brief, create a plan and strategy with their input. A commercial branding photographer provides more than just a camera. They bring a creative and commercial focus to your imagery. Use their experience and expertise to your advantage. Getting the concept pre agreed pre shoot day will result in a smoother and more productive photoshoot day. If people and headshots are involved then pre plan the outfit, arrive on time and come prepared to have fun! And finally.... breathe, relax and enjoy it. It's a team effort. Being prepared means you are more comfortable and able to get the most of of your investment. Want to know more?

Let's be real, not everybody reading this is going to see me as their ideal photographer! 📸 I'm probably not for you if... 🙅🏼♀️ You want your photography as cheaply as possible I've been in this industry for 10 years. If I keep charging bottom-of-the-barrel rates, photographers less experienced than me will struggle to thrive. I support clients for three months at a time, minimum; I’m okay with not being cheap. 🙅🏼♀️ Speed is of the essence to you While I do offer a speedy edits add-on, I can't accelerate the pre-production process. I want to deeply understand your brand, so that your brand photography is as effective as possible. If you want to skip this step, I’m not the photographer you are looking for. 🙅🏼♀️ You want a safe, commercial vibe to your images As Studio Gently, I want your brand images to stand out! My images are atmospheric, creative, and dripping with personality. If you are looking for safe and similar to what's been done before, I'm not for you. What makes your client experience unique? 🤔 #FemaleLedBusiness #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenInBusiness #UKPhotographer

Most people think photography is just about "looking good." But it’s not. It’s about showing up for your audience in a way that earns their trust and respect immediately. You can’t afford to look average if you want to stand out in a crowded market. Mediocre photos don’t inspire confidence. Ever noticed how professional visuals make the brand look polished, trustworthy, and valuable? Ever wondered why people invest in top-tier photographers? Because they know their business is worth it. You’re losing potential clients every time your photos don’t align with your brand. If you’re still using outdated, low-quality photos, you're sending the wrong message. Let me help you stop blending in. Send me a DM and let’s schedule a quick consultation to elevate your brand visuals. The first step is easier than you think.

A few unpopular opinions for photographers and brand managers: 1. Every photographer has a niche—don’t dilute your portfolio by showcasing multiple genres to a Brand Manager (BM). As a BM, choose a photographer who has mastered their speciality. Jack of all trades? Not ideal. 2. Stick with the same photographer for consistency. Grid aesthetics shine when one person’s lens, equipment, and grading scheme are at play. Frequent switches? Say goodbye to uniformity. 3. Photographers, if a brand page is thriving aesthetically, don’t expect the manager to switch easily. Consistency is key, and the risk of disrupting a successful aesthetic is too high. 4.Trends come and go, but luxury brands should stay timeless. Choose music that reflects your brand, not what’s trending on reels. Originality in storytelling beats fleeting trends every time. #socialmediamarketing #brandmanager #instagramaestheetic #socialmediaagency #photography #contentcreation #rambhapalace

Then get a great photo! Lots of people, even "most" people tell me that they hate their photo being taken. If you are in business, a really good portrait of you is essential. Most professional photographers should be able to do this for you. It would appear to me that people are used to the "selfie", they take themsleves with their phone. I have seen very few excellent selfies. However, it is perfectly possible to make a nice photo with a phone, just not at arms length! I love going on holiday, and one of my most important rules with the various holiday accommodation sites is - are the photos of the house taken with a phone camera. If they are, then the particular place has got to work a heck of a lot harder to convince me to stay there, than if they are professional photos. The same is true for business headshots! Most of us (professional photographers) charge a very reasonable rate for a photoshoot. Get one done, have a fabulous experience doing the shoot, and post your beautiful photos! #peripateticpirtraitphotographer
