PORTRAITURE & BRAND STORYTELLING
‘New portraits are always a nightmare…except with Jonathan, who has an absolutely uncanny knack for capturing one’s ‘essence’ in a way you might not recognise or appreciate in your own modesty, but which friends, family, colleagues and clients will instantly ‘get’.
By far my best experience of this innately cringeworthy exercise ever.
Wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommended!’ ❤️🙏

Are you a purpose-driven person or organisation that needs to show your audience what makes you unique, what motivates you, why you're the solution to their problems?
Do you want to tell your story in an authentic and relatable way, to attract loyal new clients and stellar people to your team?
Then you need good portraiture and brand visual storytelling!
Simply, this means using photography and visual stories to show the impact of your work, the culture of your organisation, your people, character and values so that you stand out and attract the clients, staff, funding or profits that you desire and deserve.
Whether you're a business, a non-profit, a social enterprise or a solopreneur, telling compelling stories about how you solve problems for your clients, stakeholders and 'beneficiaries' is an essential element of your success.
How it works:
Communication.
We have a conversation, I listen, and understand: your values, goals, target audience, dreams and desires...and the details that bring your story to life.
By the end of this we will all be clear on what you want to say, who you want to say it to, and how we'll bring it to life visually.
Creation.
This is a collaborative creative process...and it's fun. I promise.
I'll create portraits, action shots, and anything else you need; like products, food, footballs, flowers, details and environments.
Don't worry if you hate being in front of the camera, (I do too), usually hate pictures of yourself, or think a shoot will be overwhelming.
You're in safe hands: I've helped hundreds of people (including a few with serious camera-phobia) to be themselves on camera. And I'll share images with you as we go, so that you'll know you're happy before we finish.
Delivery.
Your final visual story will be:
Authentic and genuine, building trust and credibility with your audience.
Versatile and adaptable to different platforms, contexts, and campaigns without losing its essence.
Consistent and cohesive in visual elements like colour schemes, tones, composition styles, and image treatments.
Your images will be available in high and web resolution, with a round of review just in case you want anything tweaked.
And if you need help and ideas for the best ways to get the most from your images and story, we can help with that too.
