What is Personal Branding Photography?
Personal branding photography goes beyond traditional headshots to create a visual story about you and your business. It includes environmental portraits, which are taken in settings that reflect your work environment, giving context and depth to the images.
This style of photography (a branch of lifestyle photography) is perfect for showcasing your daily activities, workspace, and the passion behind your business. The goal is to provide authentic and engaging photos that can be used across various platforms to tell your unique story and connect with your audience.
