Personal branding
who want to show all the way up and get down to business
"Image. Is. Everything!"
You have a lot to offer.
But maybe...not everyone who needs to know about you, knows about you? As Cary Elwes playing King Edgar in Ella Enchanted (2004) said, "Image! Is! Everything!" He meant it superficially, but I mean it like - let's show them what you got!
I coach you through every pose and help you plan the shoot right from the beginning to make everything easy, actually FUN, and to get you those stunning photos that you deserve. And once you post, it won't just be King Edgar who says those images are EVERYTHING.
So hit that button to start the process - I can't wait to work with you!
DRAMATURG FOR NEW PLAYS, MUSICALS & OPERA
Annie Jin Wang
“...the lighting and atmosphere of the photos feel theatrical, but still natural. As someone who works in new play development, I'm also seeking honest, authentic, and artistically ambitious collaborators, so the style of the photos communicate that clearly to me.”
You need a personal branding shoot if...
- You want to be intentional about how you show up online, not let a chaotic mess of Instagram posts that you were tagged in do it for you
- You need a photographer with a sharp eye that will look out for you, be honest, and celebrate your individuality
- You have a cool new show or performance coming up
- Your online presence needs to reflect the level of work that you do and the level you aspire to
Time to level up.
This personal branding photoshoot is a mix of headshots, portraits, lifestyle, and branding imagery.
The goal is to capture your essence and communicate your brand so you can get yourself seen in the right light by the right people.
- elevate your website
- stand out on social media
- give a more well-rounded (and intriguing!) idea of who you are than headshots can do on their own.
Having had many different photoshoot experiences myself, I know how important it is to create a relaxed and fun environment for you, where you feel free to be creative, ask questions, and speak what's on your mind. Whether you're camera shy or an experienced model, I will guide you and collaborate with you to create on-brand images that make you look stunning, smart, and creative. Because you are.
Be undeniable. Launch your brand and establish yourself as a bold voice in your industry.
This shoot is for YOU - so I am always happy to hear any questions, comments, or ideas during the planning or shooting phase. The more ownership you feel over the shoot, the better the photos will be - and I'm always down for that!
FAQ
Sure, everone else looks good. But will I look good? I'm bad at posing...
Not a model? Not a problem. My (somewhat cliche) perspective as a photographer is that people are all inherently interesting, fascinating, and unique, and I love to find the right angle, as it were, for each person in front of my lens, to reflect back how truly amazing they are.
I don't rely on stock poses or gear to do the work for me.
That's why I have two things I focus on above everything else: planning the session with you and tailoring the shots to your needs, and guiding you in your poses in a way that works for you. We'll articulate the story you want your brand to tell, and nail down the specifics of style and tone.
How do I book my Session?
Fill out the contact form with the details of what you're looking for, and I'll be in touch with you with more details! I'll guide you through each step of the process after initial outreach.
Can I choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! Location plays a significant role in brand photography. You can choose to shoot at your place of work, your home, your favorite neighborhood - and if you're not sure, I have plenty of ideas of where to shoot, based on your aesthetic and brand. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, we'll capturing your photos in a place that helps tell your brand story.
Studios are also available to rent, for an additional fee.
How long does the shoot last?
The Personal Branding session will take 3 hours for the shoot, but please account for the makeup artist, travel, and wrapping up. For studio shoots, 4 hours will be booked to account for enough time. This allows us to capture a variety of poses, outfits, frames, and various aspects of a location, so that you can have the most diverse collection of photos possible to maximize your shoot.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. You can expect your final gallery within 3 weeks. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
We'll reschedule! I will let you know at least with 24 hours notice if we need to reschedule due to weather.
The only thing that truly sets you apart from others who do exactly what you do…is you. So let's show 'em who you are!
