Why Female Founders Need Professional Headshots

In founder-led businesses, the person and the brand are closely intertwined. A considered female founder headshot communicates competence, confidence, and credibility — without overstating or performing.

In markets like Brighton & Hove, where many businesses are visually sophisticated and people-led, a weak or outdated image can quietly undermine strong work. The right headshot signals that you are established, professional, and visible at the level you intend to operate.

At the start of summer, I had the pleasure of photographing the open evening at West Hove Studio – a brand new creative space in Hove designed for founders, artists, photographers, and small business owners. Created by Tracey, Gareth and Georgia, the studio has been thoughtfully designed as a flexible, inspiring hub where you can host workshops, display your art, run events, or even hire it as a photography studio.

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.

Operating from my home studio in Hove, I have honed my skills and developed a workflow that guarantees stunning results. My clients can trust that they will receive headshots that are not only high-quality but also reflect their unique style and needs.

Councillor Mohammed Asaduzzaman is the new Mayor of Brighton and Hove and I was invited into his chamber at Brighton & Hove Town Hall to create the official portraits to mark the oocassion of his inauguration.
