London PERSONAL BRANDING photographer

Are you building your own personal brand and sick of using selfies?

Are you guilty of hiding behind the camera, and hiding behind your business?

People want to connect with who they are doing business with and they want to know your story, and the first step in doing that is to step in front of the camera with confidence.

With me, I’ll help you embrace the true you and we’ll take photos that you can use across all your social channels, on your website, on LinkedIn and wherever else you like. My headshots have even been featured in Times Square, NYC - so the sky’s the limit with your photos.

Putting your face first will take your business to the next level & before you know it, you’'ll be levitating just like Zuza here!

P.s. a great way to make the most of your session is to also get some Tinder photos too! πŸ˜‰

Headshots aren’t just for business owners - they’re for anyone who wants to take their personal brand more seriously
(Or More joyfully)!

How Does it Work?

  • You Gotta be Bold!

    Are you ready to jump out of your comfort zone? I like to give you something a bit different to just a photo in front of a plain white wall. I like to get to know you and what you want to achieve with your photos. So let me know where you want to shoot, the vibe you want to convey, the colours you want to emphasise etc. I’m here to help you present your best face forward a little bit differently!

  • Have the most fun ever!

    I like to promise a photoshoot that will leave you feeling your sparkliest after! On the day, we will have a blast running around London, taking a mixture of fun, professional and candid photos. I like to be inspired by you and the location to create photo magic.

  • Feel like a badass bitch

    Once you get your online gallery full of all your awesome photos, I cannot wait to see you sharing the photos everywhere. I will be so proud to see you back your own brand with your face on it!

β€œBut I hate having my photo taken”

Don’t worry – you aren’t alone! Most of us don’t know what to do in front of the camera (especially with our hands) but it is my job to make you feel at ease, look amazing and have a good time doing it.

No matter who you are, it’s totally normal to find photos intimidating. Even THINKING about everything involved might be enough to stress you out. I totally get it!

That’s why I’ve made it my goal to ensure the experience is easy, stress free and (dare I say it?) even a little fun for everybody involved so that you can walk away with kickass portraits of you looking and feeling your best.

Here’s what some of my previous clients had to say about working with me.

  • Nabeeda

    Amanda, you’re a dream to work with. Working with you on my photoshoot for my LinkedIn profile picture was absolutely amazing. You were professional and friendly. I gave you an idea of what I wanted and you selected amazing locations that would match my style and what I was looking for.

    You made me feel so comfortable which was absolutely amazing and I am excited to book you again for another event or photoshoot session.

  • Harriet

    Amanda is probably one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. I am in the Public Relations and Communications industry so work with many photographers and come from a magazine journalism so previously lived on photoshoots.

    Working with her personally has been a joy, as someone who hates having their picture taken. She has a way of making you feel comfortable, confident and courageous, without forcing you to be something that you are not. She has a way of capturing you and directing with patience. She is my go-to and as a dark skin Black woman, it is not always easy to find people who know or understand skin tones when taking pictures or editing pictures.

    I would recommend her to anyone but mostly if you need someone who is compassionate and will take their time. Someone who embraces how the client is feeling and takes the time to reassure them.

  • Lauren

    Amanda has an amazing ability to get her subjects to relax. I find myself always awkward and nervous in photos and hate what I look like. Not only did Amanda capture photos of me that I actually liked, I enjoyed the photoshoot immensely.

    She is professional and quick to produce the photos after the shoot. I cannot recommend her enough. You will not regret booking her for your photography needs!

  • Zuza

    Amanda is one of those rare pure goodness human gems. Super kind, warm, friendly and a total photo pro. She somehow knew how to put me at ease and relax in-front of the camera straight away. If you’re anything like me (I hate my photo being taken), don’t worry one bit!

    You will 100% be just fine.

    I’ve booked a branding photo session with her and loved every second of it. She knew how to direct me, she made it feel so much fun and special. And the photos I’ve received are incredible. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

FAQs

 

Can you suggest locations?

Absolutely. My top suggestions are wandering through the streets of London, hang out in your garden, grab a coffee at your local or you being a badass at your desk. You can read all about my suggestions of locations on the London Landmark page.

WHEN/HOW WILL i RECEIVE my PHOTOS?

Post-processing is the most time-intensive part of your shoot, and so typically my session turnaround is about 2-3 weeks. Photos are delivered via digital download for instant access and easy sharing. I will provide a preview of the session shortly after, via an online gallery. With portrait shoots, I can provide you with a contact sheet and you can choose your favourite photos. Your final images will be provided digitally to you via the online gallery.

 

Do you travel for shoots?

Most definitely! I am based in London but happy to travel to you, so as to make you feel comfortable and at home in front of the lens. Depending on the distance, it may cost extra.

 

can we go to MULTIPLE LOCATIONS?

Absolutely and it all depends on how long you’d like the shoot to go for. The longer your shoot, the more locations we can visit!

ARE SESSIONS INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?

All session locations are chosen in collaboration with you, to bring your unique vision to life. Indoors or outdoors – we’ll make it happen!

Can I post the photos to social media?

Absolutely! Once you have the final images, I want you to plaster the photos everywhere because you look amazing. I would love a shout-out so others can find out where you got your kickass photos from.

Will you post my photos online?

I will because I want to show off how good you look! I still own the copyright of the photos so if you do not want me to share your images, please contact me as soon as possible to opt-out.

 

WHAT TIME should we have OUR SESSION?

If we are shooting outdoors, the time of day we hold your session is super important. We will weigh up both our availabilities versus the best time of light on that day. I prefer shooting during the golden hour (either sunrise or sunset) but this isn’t always possible, depending on the best light at the location or our availabilities. Plus you have to account for the amount of daylight depending on the time of year. Don’t worry, it will look amazing no matter the time of day! If we are holding your session indoors, then I will be guided by you as to when your location gets the best light.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

If your shoot date gets rained out, we can either select an alternate location or reschedule on a date that fits you. Or we always can splash around in the rain!

I’ll always consult the weather the day before our session as this is when the forecast is the most reliable, and call you to discuss our options. All I ask is that keep your day open and flexible, so we can adjust our start time if we need to.

WILL I GET EVERY SINGLE IMAGE YOU TAKE?

You wouldn’t want every photo! To make sure I don’t miss anything, I usually take over 200+ images, and I often take what I call blink insurance – multiple images photos taken because you might move/blink/etc. I promise that I hand select the best of the best of the best for editing, and these images form your gallery, which I edit loosely. Please be assured that I am not sitting on images that you might love. You can expect to receive upwards of 10+ images as part of your final gallery.

 

Can I make a Pinterest/mood board?

Yes please do! In a surprise to no one, I am an incredibly visual person so I love seeing photos that you love and the vibe you want to go for. A few jumping off questions to give you inspiration: Where will you use these photos? Social media? LinkedIn? Your website? Do you want to include your brand new lovely home office? Or do you want to show off you are based in London using a landmark in the background?
