Personal Branding Photographer in Canberra

PHOTOS THAT LOOK LIKE YOU, ON YOUR BEST DAY.

Personal branding photography for business owners, consultants, coaches and professionals in Canberra. Relaxed, guided sessions that give you a library of images for your website, LinkedIn, social media and speaking profiles.

People buy from people. Before anyone calls you, they look you up online, and your photos speak for you before you do.

 

A personal branding shoot goes beyond a headshot. You get portraits, working shots, behind-the-scenes moments and details from your workspace, all in one consistent style.

 

You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ve directed actors and presenters on film and TV sets for over 16 years, and I’ll guide you through every shot.

Hi, I’m Matt – Your Canberra Personal Branding Photographer

Canberra personal branding photographer for business owners and professionals.

 

You’re the face of your business, but most of your photos are selfies, cropped event shots or a headshot that’s a few years old. Every time you update your website or post on LinkedIn, you hunt for a picture you actually like.

 

You want photos that feel like you: confident, approachable and professional. And you want a shoot that’s relaxed, even if you don’t love being in front of the camera.

 

I’ve spent more than 16 years on film and TV sets, as a lead artist on Hollywood films and directing TV commercials, so I know how to light people well and help them relax on camera. I’ll tell you exactly where to stand and what to do with your hands, and you’ll see the photos as we go. I answer my own email and quote within 12 hours.

 

It’s not just about the photos. It’s about people feeling they know you before you’ve met.

Personal branding photography isn’t just for influencers. It’s for business owners and entrepreneurs, consultants and coaches, speakers and authors, and professionals such as clinicians, lawyers and advisers. It also suits growing teams who want leaders and staff photographed in one consistent style. If people choose to work with you because of who you are, your photos should show it.

Personal Branding Photography FAQs

 

What is personal branding photography?

A set of photos that shows who you are and what you do: portraits, working shots, behind-the-scenes moments and details from your workspace, all in one consistent style.

 

How is it different from a headshot?

A headshot is one professional portrait. A branding shoot gives you a wider range of images to use across your website, LinkedIn, social media and marketing.

 

How much does a personal branding shoot cost?

The Brand Refresh package is $650 for up to 1 hour and 10 edited photos. Brand Story is $1,250 and Brand Library is $2,200. You get a fixed quote before you book.

 

I’m awkward in front of the camera. Can I still do this?

Yes. Most people feel that way. I’ll guide you through every pose and expression, and you’ll see the photos on screen as we go.

 

What should I wear?

Wear what you’d wear to meet your best client. We’ll talk about colours and outfits on the planning call, so everything suits your brand.

 

Where do sessions take place?

At your workplace or a Canberra location that suits your brand. I bring all the lighting and gear.

 

Can I use the photos on LinkedIn and social media?
