Personal Branding Photography – with Sarah Wasser – the Personal Trainer based in Bristol.
I first contacted Sarah with a view of loosing my baby weight – I did my research and she came highly recomended amongst the others here in Enfield, North London. I did training with her for 6+ weeks, she was coming to my home, which was perfect as I did not have to go anywhere with the newborn or worry about the childcare (saving me additional costs)!
Sarah showed me suitable exercises and explained everything properly. I have lost weight and was very happy with her guidance. Sarah was easy to talk to, professional and, as a mum herself, she was easy to relate to and she understood my concerns. If you are looking for a personal trainer – I would definitely recommend her.
Sarah recently moved to Bristol and just before she moved, I have photographed her to create images for her Website, Facebook, Instagram and other Social Media.
Prior to the session, I got Sarah to fill out the Personal Brand Questionnaire to find out what type of photos was she looking for. We have discussed all the details about locations, outfits, timings and more.
First photos were taken in the Verity Place in Bush Hill Park, North London. The studio was fairly dark, I had to use an additional light to even up the shadows and move Sarah into different corners of the studio to make the best use of the mirrors and light coming through the windows. I have also photographed some Flatlay’s for Sarah – photos of Sarah’s Brand and personal items that are shot from directly above to show off your business – it can be anything, your laptop, business cards, personalised cups and other items, your products, favourite book. Following this we went to a near by Stanton’s Coffee House to capture some of the “working on the computer” & “I am chilling with my cuppa” type of photos. We ended the Personal Brand Photoshoot in the local Hillyfields Park, in Enfield – by taking some natural photos of Sarah exercising ( she does outdoor classes too) and headshots with the natural background. We were very lucky with the weather, it worked in our favour.
Sarah was happy with her photos and has given me lovely feedback.
Since then, Sarah has moved to Bristol, where she continues her career as a Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor (pre and postnatal specialist).
I wish Sarah all the best for the future and hope it all goes fantastically well for her and her family in their new home. Bristol is very lucky to have you!

What is the Personal Branding Photography?
Personal branding Photography is a relatively new aspect of visual branding. It is a mix of:
*Headshots/Bio Photos – people like to buy from people ,so show your face.
*Lifestyle photos – to tell your story – what is your brand, your business – who are you and what do you do “action photos”
*Flatlays/product photos – mix of your products and branded items, your brand colours – presented in the “birds point of view” – great for Instagram and similar.
If you are a business owner, enterprenuer or blogger – photos are one of the key points of your business. It is an investment for your and your business ( and an expense on your accountancy sheet).
