What I shoot

Three ways to commission a branding shoot.

Author and founder portrait in window light by Jean-Luc Benazet, Cambridge branding photographer.

Founder Portrait Session

Half-day with one founder. For the About page, the LinkedIn header, the press piece, the speaker bio. One face, many uses.

Personal Brand Day

A full day with one coach, consultant or solo founder. Portraits, environments and detail — a library you'll still be using next year.

Brand Image Library

Founder, team, environment and brand details. All shot in one session, all edited to a single look. Built for SMEs and independents who'd rather not lean on stock.

Frequently asked

Questions worth answering up front.

Where do you work?

Cambridge studio and on-location across East Anglia — Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon, Saffron Walden, Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, Norwich, Peterborough and Stamford. London by arrangement.

What's the difference between a headshot and a branding shoot?

A headshot is a single image of one person — useful, limited. A branding shoot delivers a library: portraits, environments and details that last a year of content. If a single headshot or a team headshot day is all you need, Cambridge Photographers handles that.

How long does a shoot take?

A Founder Portrait Session is a half-day (up to four hours). A Personal Brand Day is a full day (up to eight hours). A Brand Image Library is a day or a day and a half depending on team size and shot list.

When do I get the images?

Edited and delivered within ten working days via a private online gallery. Rush turnaround available on request.

Do I own the images?

Yes. Full personal and business use, in perpetuity. No usage windows or per-channel fees. Editorial and broadcast licensing on request.

What if I need corporate headshots, an event photographer or a wedding?

Not what I do on this site. Cambridge Photographers covers volume headshots, conferences, corporate events, weddings and family photography.
