PERSONAL BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
SERENA IS A True PROFESSIONAL AND HAS A GREAT SKILL IN MAKING HER SUBJECTS FEEL AT EASE
What is personal brand photography? In short, it’s a series of portraits that express you as a brand, showing facets of your personality, skills, experience, and what you have to offer. It’s about taking control of the visual communication of you as a professional and private individual. And to do this, you need more than just a headshot. You need a personal branding photoshoot. And it’s important to have this done professionally, and done well.
At Serena Bolton Photography, we create brand portraits that convey the desired brand image, at its very best. And crucially, that speak to the target audience. Images that tell the story.
Serena has undertaken personal branding photography with entrepreneurs, psychologists, doctors, authors, educators, lawyers, interior designers, yoga teachers, musicians, property developers and many more individuals wishing to take control of their brand image.
A Personal Branding photoshoot starts with a consultation with Serena to discuss your brand. We collaborate on ideas, curate the look of your photoshoot, discuss how you will use your brand images and decide on locations and props. In your personal brand shoot, perhaps you will include your business partner, a client or even your dog! Whatever helps to tell your story.
If you aren’t clear on your personal brand, we can help you step by step. Serena collaborates with professional designers, stylists and coaches who can help you on this journey. We will help you get clarity, extract your brand and decide how you wish to visually present yourself.
As your personal brand photographer, Serena will help you manifest the person you want to be. The experience is inspiring, confidence-building, fun, even life-changing.

A Range of Personal Branding Options
I provide three options for Personal Branding Photography.
Firstly, you can book a half day in my West London Studio or on Location in London at your home or place of work. This would involve a 3-4 hour shoot and a few changes of clothes. Of if more locations or changes of outfits are required, you can book a whole day photoshoot.
Finally, if you need regular image updates for your high profile brand, I offer a seasonal Personal Brand package which includes an initial full day photoshoot with 3 half day shoots to follow throughout the year.

FAQs
What exactly is a Personal Brand?
A personal brand is defined as packaging and promoting your person, values, personality, and career as a brand. Getting this right will present a consistent brand image, establish you/your business, control the narrative, and attract the clients or job you want. And your brand must be visually compelling and consistent.
This is where Personal Branding photography comes in…
Why is personal brand photography important?
Once you have worked out your brand, you need to communicate it. You need consistent brand imagery across all social media platforms, a coherent and distinctive look. You need portraits which tell your brand story, visually.
People are looking for authenticity and connection with the people they choose to work with and good personal branding portraits help you communicate your authentic self and connect with your target audience. A selfie is just not going to be good enough. And neither is stock photography. It’s your brand and your business and it’s important that you differentiate yourself from the rest.
How do I prepare for a personal branding shoot?
Preparation is key to a successful shoot. Above all, know your brand. Have a strong idea of how you want to present yourself. For example, where will you be photographed? At your home? Your place of business? Think about how it should look and judge realistically what needs to be done to achieve that look. Think about props and locations within your chosen location. Also about who should be there. Is it just yourself? Or a business partner or client? And above all, remember this is your personal brand so you owe to it yourself to look your very best. Visit the hairdresser and spend some time choosing your outfits. Finally, research your professional Personal Brand photographer carefully. They should be able to help you with any questions about preparation. The more you prepare for your personal brand shoot, the better the result.
