I am a fully mobile photographer and either come to your offices or home, or I work with you to find a venue that aligns perfectly with your brand.
I also travel abroad a few times a year - it’s worth asking me where I’m travelling to next - sometimes my clients join me on location for brand-aligned shoots.
-
Commercial shoots for businesses and teams can be tailored to your schedule - the shortest time you should allow is 5-10 minutes per person. The experience makes a difference so I ask my clients to try and give me 10 minutes per person so it isn’t too rushed and we can collaborate in the shoot to make sure they are happy.
For individual headshots - a simple headshot session can take as little as 20–30 minutes, while a full personal branding shoot or C-Suite/Leadership Portrait session may take up to 2 hours depending on locations, outfit changes and the variety of images needed.
-
Most clients receive their edited photos within 48 hours, depending on the size of the project, and never later than 14-days after the shoot. I provide high-resolution files suitable for websites, LinkedIn, press use and social media. Fast-turnaround delivery is available if you need your images urgently.
-
Yes of course. I am fully mobile and can come to your office, guide you through backgrounds choices and on site locations so your photos feel on-brand and professional. Whether you need indoor office-style shots, outdoor natural images, I’ll help plan everything so you feel confident and prepared.
-
Yes I have public liability and professional indemnity insurance which I renew annually. If you need a copy of my policy, please ask, or find it a link to it at the bottom of this page.
