How Do We Start?
Future Trainee Solicitor Gurpreet Ballagun at Macfarlane’s. London Personal Branding Photoshoot.
To help you stay focused on your visual strategy we'll start with a simple questionnaire. Before the actual shooting, we will do some brainstorming work that will lead us to prepare your brand statement (who you are and who your clients are, your branding color, etc.).
That will help you clarify the message that you want to share, and it will help me understand your brand and capture your personal style in the best possible way.
One of the best methods is to start building inspirational mood boards (you can easily search for inspiration in Pinterest and share your board with me).
How important are Mood boards for my shoot?
This is one the most important parts of the process, It does take time to put a mood board together, but it's really worth. So take your time and really analyse the images that catch your eye.
Also check out your other professionals in your field to get an idea off their look and to see if you can gain some inspiration, especially those in the America, Australia and Europe.
Once this has been put together, it allows our sessions to be better organised, kinda of working to a script if you like. We’ll have a more concert story behind the images, plus we have a bounty of great images for your personal business library.
Next phase of preparation, we will choose locations near to you, a selection of outdoor, workplace, coffee bars, and at home.
If you need help with the styling and any make up ideas, I have a great team of personal stylists and make-up artists that I collaborate with, so if you need additional help, we can arrange this too.
