How it’s built

The headshot first. Then the day keeps going.

  1. The clean headshot first, so the one everybody needs is in the bag.
  2. Then a second look in the studio: a change of clothes, a different backdrop, the light turned down.
  3. Then your places: the kitchen, the shop, the piano, the street outside.
  4. Built for where it’s going: the website, the talk, the press kit, a year of posts.
  5. Chosen together from the screen, like every session.
  6. Delivered as a set: web sizes for the platforms and the full files.

Personal branding photography in Edmonton — FAQs

Seven questions for Ryan.

01

What is personal branding photography?

Photographs of you built for everywhere you show up: the website, the talk, the posts, the press. It starts with the headshot and keeps going, in the studio and in your own places, so you leave with a set, not a single picture.

02

Who is it for?

Anyone whose name is the business: founders, small business owners, coaches, consultants, speakers and creators.

03

How is this different from a headshot session?

It’s the headshot session, taken further. A headshot session gives you the one strong image; this keeps going, with more looks in the studio and then your own places, so you leave with a set built for everywhere you show up.

04

Do I need to know how I’ll use the photos beforehand?

A rough idea is enough. Where the images are going shapes the day, and we talk it through before we start.

05

Studio or on location?

Whichever says more about you, and often both: the studio for the clean set, your own space for the context.

06

What should I wear?

Bring a few options. Solid colours photograph best, and a couple of changes let each look in the set stand on its own.

07

How long does it take?

It depends on how many looks and places. Get in touch with what you have in mind and I’ll give you a realistic estimate.

Get in touch with where the pictures are going, and we’ll plan the day.

Brandon UprightDecember 2020Working with Ryan was by the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. Through out the session he would crack jokes and tell stories that would really help bring out your natural smile and emotions. He was very accommodating and allowed me to try out different styles of backgrounds and poses until we were able to achieve exactly the photos I was looking for. He even made some suggestions that we tried out that ended up being better than I could have imagined. By the end of it I ended up purchasing extra shots because I couldn't decide on just two! They were all so good and so much better than I could have ever hoped for! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone looking for quality, crisp, professional photos.
