How it’s built

The headshot first. Then the day keeps going.

  1. The clean headshot first, so the one everybody needs is in the bag.
  2. Then a second look in the studio: a change of clothes, a different backdrop, the light turned down.
  3. Then your places: the kitchen, the shop, the piano, the street outside.
  4. Built for where it’s going: the website, the talk, the press kit, a year of posts.
  5. Chosen together from the screen, like every session.
  6. Delivered as a set: web sizes for the platforms and the full files.

Personal branding photography in Edmonton: FAQs

Seven questions for Ryan.

01

What is personal branding photography?

Photographs of you built for everywhere you show up: the website, the talk, the posts, the press. It starts with the headshot and keeps going, in the studio and in your own places, so you leave with a whole set of pictures.

02

Who is it for?

Anyone whose name is the business: founders, small business owners, coaches, consultants, speakers and creators. Speakers, authors and professors come for the whole kit at once: the book jacket, the speaker page and media kit, and the press images, all from one day.

03

How is this different from a headshot session?

The biggest difference is that it can leave the studio. We start there with the headshot and a few more looks, then head out to one location or a few, wherever your work happens. It can also take in the editorial side of a leadership session and the creative side of an influencer one, as much of each as your brand calls for.

04

Do I need to know how I’ll use the photos beforehand?

A rough idea is enough. Where the images are going shapes the day, and we talk it through before we start.

05

Studio or on location?

Whichever says more about you, and often both: the studio for the clean set, your own space for the context.

06

What should I wear?

Bring a few options. Solid colours photograph best, and a couple of changes let each look in the set stand on its own.

07

How long does it take?

It depends on how many looks and places. Get in touch with what you have in mind and I’ll give you a realistic estimate.

Get in touch with where the pictures are going, and we’ll plan the day.
