Creative Headshot & Branding Photography: Why Your Image MattersMore Than Ever

I was talking to a friend and fellow photographer in Cornwall, Mike Newman about how difficult a basic Headshot is to get right. The simplicity is the key and achieving that can be tricky. It’s actually a new string to my photography bow as I really enjoy meeting Artists, Writers, Entrepreneurs and Creatives in general. It got me thinking about writing a blog article about the subject…. Happy reading.

Your headshot isn’t just a profile picture.

It’s a first impression, a mood, a story—sometimes all in a single frame.

For creatives, entrepreneurs, and personal brands,photography plays a huge role in how your work and your values are perceived.In a crowded digital world, your image helps people decide whether they want to follow you, work with you, or trust you—often before they’ve read a single word. That’s where creative headshot and brandingphotography comes in.

For entrepreneurs especially, your face becomes avisual anchor for your business. A thoughtful, well-crafted image builds familiarity and trust long before the first conversation.
