I’m Creative — I Don’t Want a Corporate Brand Photoshoot!
So you’re ready to invest in some professional photos — but every time you search “brand shoot,” you’re hit with people in suits, arms folded, standing in front of glass buildings.
Yeah, that’s not your vibe.
If you’re a creative, coach, artist, or alternative brand, you might be thinking:
“Will a brand shoot even suit me?”
“I don’t want to look corporate or cheesy…”
Good news — you don’t have to.
📸 Brand Shoots Can (and Should) Be Creative
A brand shoot isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about turning your personality, style, and process into powerful visual content.
Whether you’re:
A bold illustrator
A wellness coach with a gentle aesthetic
A product-based business with a playful identity
...your shoot should reflect that. I help you build a concept around your brand — not some generic template.
🖼️ What Should You Ask For?
Here’s what to talk to your photographer about:
“Can we use a location that fits my brand?” (Think: home studio, creative venue, coffee shop)
“I want the shoot to feel relaxed and expressive — not too posed.”
“I’d love to include some tools or props that show what I do.”
“I’m not a fan of staged office-style shots. Can we keep it authentic?”
A great photographer will plan the shoot with you, not just show up and snap.
🎨 What to Include in a Creative Brand Shoot:
Behind-the-scenes of your process
You working with clients or customers
Flatlays of your tools, sketches, or workspace
Personality-driven portraits — smiling, serious, expressive, playful
Movement shots (walking, working, creating)
If you’re looking to build a personal brand that connects, the key is honesty + creativity.
🧠 Will It Still Look Professional?
Absolutely. You can have fun, colour, movement, and quirk — without looking amateur.
I shoot in a way that still makes the images sharp, scroll-stopping, and ready for use across your website, Instagram, portfolio, or media kits.
You don’t need to sacrifice personality for professionalism. You can have both.
