How to dress for your personality and your brand.

Your clothing isn’t just fabric — it’s part of your story. Ask yourself:

• What do I want people to feel when they see my photo?

• Does this outfit reflect my professional values?

• Is it authentic to who I am?

For example, a modern, casual power look could be black leather trousers, a blazer, and a statement necklace. This outfit signals confidence, creativity, and approachability. Pair it with a white tee to keep it fresh and relatable.

Tip: Avoid trends that don’t feel like you. Authenticity is always more compelling than trying to fit a generic “professional” mold.

There’s something quietly magical about the first few frames of a headshot session. Before the poses settle in, before the sitter fully realises how they’re holding themselves — something real happens. A flicker of truth. A glimpse of calm.

As a portrait photographer based in Brighton and Hove, I’ve come to love those early, almost throwaway moments. When you’re adjusting your hair, taking a breath, or laughing at how awkward it feels to be in front of the camera — that’s when your real self shows up. And those are often the most beautiful frames of all.

Team days are all about bringing people together—catching up, collaborating, and maybe even celebrating a big win. But while you're all in the same place, have you ever considered using the opportunity to refresh your team's headshots?

Most businesses put off updating headshots because it's tricky to coordinate schedules. People are in and out of the office, working remotely, or simply too busy. A team day solves that problem.
