Here is Steve demonstrating the power of good ligh Here is Steve demonstrating the power of good light and gettimg the right camera angle for your photos! Swipe for his before shots 👉

But in all seriousness, these things really make such a huge difference.
When taking selfies move around, experiment with different angles and lighting.

And if you are outsourcing your brand photos, it's so important to find someone who knows how to position you and pose you in the right ways... Someone like me!

I love shooting at the studio, it's such a great s I love shooting at the studio, it's such a great space and it's so versatile that it works perfectly for a headshots session.

This is a white (cut out) set up but there are various other coloured backdrops available as well as a sofa and desk set up for a more lifestyle look to your images.

Combine the studio with a location, like the woods or the beach, and you'll get a wonderfully wide variety of images to use across your socials, blog posts and website.

It's totally normal to feel awkward when you are h It's totally normal to feel awkward when you are having your photo taken...

My top tip if you are feeling stiff and uncomfy - move around!
You don't have to gallop or do anything too wild or crazy, even swaying slightly will help you to relax and take your mind off posing!
