The Importance of Unique Personal Brand Photos for Artists

It goes without saying that your artwork speaks volumes, but your personal brand may well be the voice that introduces it to the world. And an important part of your personal brand are your images.

Spending a morning together while you work creates opportunities to capture you in the places that inspire you, your studio or work environment, the tools of your trade. Seeing the artistic process is such an eye-opener for people who follow your work and would love to understand more about how you create your artworks. I can also take some headshots too, for use on your socials or website. 

A willow weaver: Julie Gurr

Louise was a lovely person to work with. She made me feel very relaxed and at ease in front of the camera, and took some great shots of me and of the indoor and outdoor environment in which I work. They will be excellent photos to use for marketing and promotion of my basketry business.”

A painter: Lorraine Molins

I couldn’t be happier with the photos Louise took of me. She is a true professional – very easy to get on with and I found the whole process exciting and inspiring.

Louise made me feel so at ease, and took time to chat first, look around and let me know with each photo what she had in mind.

The resulting photographs are the best I’ve had done.  She took photographs both inside the studio and outside – finding out about my inspiration, asking about colour mixing, the tools I use – so she could take photographs that reflect me and my work.

I highly recommend Louise – the photos are terrific, you couldn’t do better than to choose Louise!”

An artist bookmaker: Caroline Fraser

I am so pleased with those headshots. I can’t tell you how nice it is to see some photos of myself looking happy and normal! I am absolutely thrilled to have some photos that I can use for my website.”

A woodworker: Danny Harling

I was a little anxious beforehand that I didn’t have anything nice to photograph – even though to me the woods (my workplace) were looking damp and dull, Louise brought interest with crisp focus and creative perspectives. She made me feel at ease and I relaxed into the process. 

I’m impressed by the final images. I found the close ups of me at work visually impactful. Louise was able to find colour and movement in the woods in winter. I think she captured me and my environment very well. The whole process was a pleasure and I’m looking forward to her return visit”.
