Branding & Portrait Photographer
in Brighton
Hi, I'm Mark, a photographer based in Brighton. Whether you're a business owner, creative or actor, I'm here to make images that tell your story, and tell it honestly.
Brand Storytelling Photography for People Centred Businesses
I take pictures for founders, creatives and actors who’d rather look like themselves than whoever a brand brief says they should be. That means no stiff smiles and no “formal headshot face”, just images that actually look like you.
For me, that means having a style that’s clean and natural, so the photographs have a genuine, honest feel.
In the end, the goal is simple: photos you actually want to use, not just ones you have to.
So reach out, and we’ll have a chat about the photographs you need and, more importantly, what you need them to do.
Ways to work together.
Personal Branding
Headshots
For individuals who need a small selection of great images, pictures that help you show up with confidence, professionalism and approachability.
So whether it’s for social profiles, casting or your website, these are clean, contemporary images designed to make a lasting first impression.
But they’re more than simply a record of how you look. Instead, they’re portraits that reflect who you are and tell your story with depth and authenticity.
Brand storytelling photography for businesses that need a story told across many images. These are pictures that reveal the people, purpose and personality behind your brand.
They’re created for independent professionals who understand that people connect with people, not logos.
As a result, these pictures help you build trust, credibility and meaningful connections with the right clients.
How I Work
01 Discovery Call
On our call we discuss what purpose the visuals need to fulfill, where they'll be used and what they should portray about you or your business. We not only talk about how the images should look but we also delve into your values and what motivates you.
02 Research & Plan
Using everything we've discussed, I'll research your industry, audience and visual landscape to identify opportunities to help you stand out. Together we'll shape a clear plan for the shoot, including locations, styling, props, shot ideas and the stories we want the images to tell.
03 The Shoot
With the planning done, it's time to bring everything to life. The shoot itself is relaxed, collaborative and designed around you. I'll guide you throughout the session, helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera while we create a versatile collection of images.
04 Selection & Editing
Once the shoot is complete, you'll receive a gallery of carefully curated images to review and select from. Your chosen photographs will then be professionally edited and refined, ensuring they feel polished, consistent and ready to use across your website, social media and marketing materials.
