Personal branding photography for small business owners

A business portrait can show much more than what someone looks like. It can show something about the person, their work and the personality behind the business.

I photographed Rebecca Caslin, owner of Not Just Scribbles, at her workspace to create a collection of professional images she could use across her website and social media.

Rebecca wanted more than a traditional corporate headshot. We photographed her working at her desk, using her computer and in the surroundings where she ran her business. This gave her a varied collection of photographs rather than simply different versions of the same portrait.

“Ray is a pleasure to work with, I hate having my picture taken but he instantly put me at ease. His relaxed style is perfect for the shots I needed for my business, offering a different take on the traditional headshot.

He went out of his way to make it a fun experience and I loved being able to have my dog with me (my co-worker!).

I was also impressed with the amount of shots I had to choose from. I would definitely recommend Ray for any of your photographic needs.

Looking for personal branding photography?

I photograph business owners and professionals who want more than a traditional headshot, creating natural business portraits and branding images for websites, LinkedIn and marketing.

My commercial photography has changed considerably since I originally wrote this post in 2018, but looking back at these photographs reminded me of something that hasn’t changed.

I enjoy photographing businesses.

That might mean photographing the people behind a company, the food coming out of a restaurant kitchen or the environment in which a business operates.

Business portrait photography

People want to see who they’re dealing with.

I photograph business owners, professionals and teams, creating natural portraits for websites, LinkedIn, marketing and company profiles.

I bring professional lighting to the workplace, so businesses don’t need to send their staff to a studio. I can create a consistent look while allowing each person to still look like themselves.

Food & hospitality photography

I also work with restaurants, hotels and hospitality businesses to photograph their food and the spaces in which it is served.

Food photography isn’t simply about recording what is on the plate. Lighting, composition and atmosphere can completely change how somebody experiences an image.

The photographs below are some of my earlier commercial work. My photography has developed considerably since these were taken, but they form part of the journey that brought me to the work I create today.

I now specialise primarily in business portrait photography and food & hospitality photography, working across Cheshire, the Wirral, Wrexham and North Wales.

If your business needs new photography, please get in touch.
