PERSONAL BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
Also called Lifestyle or Editorial Photography. These images tell a story. When I work with chefs and businesses we create images to tell a story that goes hand in hand with their marketing and/or website copy. I like to say, this is when you are in the photos with your food.
​
-
Are you rebuilding/rebranding your website?
-
Do you need more consistent, quality content?
-
Do you need photos of you and not just your food?
-
Are you writing a cookbook and need additional imagery for the author section?
-
Are you being featured in a magazine?
​
Personal brand photography covers all this and more! All businesses benefit from this kind of photography.
