personal branding photography

A bank of imagery for everywhere you show up online.

Half a day, multiple looks, lifestyle and studio frames — a complete library of personal branding imagery you can roll out across your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, decks and press kit.

Personal branding photography is fundamentally about building an image library — not a single hero shot, but a deep catalogue you can pull from across every platform. We plan the session around the surfaces where the images will appear: LinkedIn header, Instagram grid, website hero, deck slides, press headshots, podcast cover art. Each setup serves multiple platforms. By the end of the half-day, you have 25 images that cover a year of content without you having to scramble for assets every time you need one.

How it works

booking personal branding

From enquiry to delivery — here's exactly how the process runs.

strategy call

20-minute video call to lock in looks, identify the surfaces the images will appear on, and build a shot-list around your content goals.

half-day shoot

4 hours, 3 outfit changes, split between clean studio portraits and lifestyle setups. Optional MUA recommended for the first part of the session.

curate + deliver

We curate the strongest 40 frames, deliver them in every required aspect ratio, with brand-colour-matched retouching. Delivered within 7 working days.

In the price

what's included

No upsells in the small print. The headline rate covers the kit and the room — add-ons are listed separately and you only pay for what you book.

Half-day session — 4 hours of shoot time, paced with breaks and outfit changes built in. Enough to walk away with a year's worth of imagery.
Pre-shoot strategy call — 20-minute video call before the shoot to lock in looks, themes, content goals, and the resulting shot list.
3 looks / wardrobe changes — typically casual, smart-casual, and formal/branded. We help you pick based on where the images will appear.
Studio + lifestyle frames — split between clean studio portraits and lifestyle setups (deskside, with-laptop, at-cafe-table). Variety for different contexts.
25 edited high-resolution images — colour-corrected, brand-matched, ready for use across LinkedIn, Instagram, website, decks, and press kit.
Square / vertical / landscape exports — every aspect ratio delivered automatically for cross-platform use without manual re-cropping.
Why book this with us

reasons to pick echelon for personal branding

Pre-shoot strategy call included — most clients arrive without a plan; we build it together so the half-day produces a complete asset library, not random portraits.
Studio + lifestyle mix — variety for different platforms in a single session.
Native multi-format exports — square for Instagram, 4:5 for LinkedIn, landscape for website headers, all without asking us to re-crop.
MUA available on-site — strongly recommended for the studio portrait portion. Most clients book it.
Brand-matched retouching — we work to your brand colour palette so the imagery integrates cleanly with your site, deck and content templates.
Backed by Echelon Media — we know what makes a brand asset library actually useful because we run them for our agency clients.
Came away with 25 images that have served me for over a year. Every time I need a thumbnail, a header, a quote-card background, I just pull from the library. Best ROI of any marketing spend.
