Location and branding shoots for authentic images with impact

BE YOUR OWN BRAND

(just don't be bland )

A black and white shot of a smartly dressed young male, wearing white shirt and patterned tie looks to camera right. He is standing in front of a wrought iron gate, and is lit by bright light source out of frame on the right hand side.

A young lady in a yellow dress poses leaning against a metal garage shutter door. She is standing in an alley, eyes closed looking reflective. To her left hand side a No Parking sign is toward the camera.

A Scottish actor, dancer and director, Andi Denny sits on stone steps outside a victorian building in the West End of Glasgow. He smiles at the camera. He is wearing a white and red light jacket and blue jeans.

A young bearded man is standing in an alley in Glasgow city centre, looking thoughtfully upwards. He wears glasses and a black t-shirt with a rainbow print of the Outer Hebrides. The t-shirt is from local Uist designers, Culla Creative.

A young male sits on stone steps outside Glasgow City College in the Merchant City. He is smiling while scrolling through his phone. He wears a turquoise t-shirt and black shorts.

There’s no shopping mall portraits here.

Every shoot is different. Every client is unique. So why go with a boring white background like in you see in those shopping mall family portraits?

There are no fixed formulas here. No box of stupid props, and no fake laughter. Dad jokes, yes. But the laughter will be authentic.

Your shoot is about you. It’s not about a formulaic process geared towards upselling you a framed 8×10, and a coffee table album*.

The street is where it's at

(is that cool..?)

Pretty much my signature photography style is a mix of street and portrait photography. For years, I’ve called it ‘urban portraiture’, which are location shoots out on the streets of the city.

Most often in Glasgow, but also in Edinburgh and further afield too, including London regularly.

These shoots are my take on 'personal branding' but with a much more human (and less corporate) style

Whether you need images for your social media account – casual, relaxed and fun – or something a little more professional for LinkedIn or your website.

I’ve worked with all kinds of professionals to create images for their personal use, brand or business – from influencers, life coaches, personal trainers, lawyers and even a chef or two.

But regardless of who you are, or what you do, I’ll make sure you see yourself in a different light. (see what I did there?)

Check out my branding shoot rates here

There are two pricing models for these shoots – the difference is in the commercial licensing for the images. One rate for private clients who are looking for some images for their personal Facebook or Instagram for example, and a second rate for business/professionals who will use the images for marketing.

*Yes, I can of course do all those product things for you, but it’s not my goal to upsell you stuff you don’t want.
