Branding Photographer Manchester

Your brand is more than a logo — it’s you. As a branding photographer in Manchester, I work with business owners who want imagery that feels authentic, confident and aligned with their values. Together, we’ll create a collection of photographs that tell your story and help you show up consistently across your website and social platforms.

“Amazing!!! Clare did a brand shoot for my company, Willa&Bo, and as I’d never done anything like this before, I was quite nervous going into it. From the moment we started chatting about our businesses, she completely put me at ease, and the whole morning felt so comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish.

She captured the most beautiful, non-staged, natural shots while taking photos of me at work, which really shows the reality behind my small business. I received the images yesterday, and I absolutely love them.

Clare has such a talent for capturing the small details that mean so much, and the finished photos feel so true to me and my brand. I feel so lucky to have had Clare capture this for me 🤍”

How long does a brand photoshoot take?

A typical branding photoshoot usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on how many looks, locations or setups we plan for. I like to take the time to make sure every shot feels natural and reflects your personality — no rushing, no stiff poses. We’ll move at a comfortable pace so you feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera, and so you walk away with a gallery full of images you’ll actually love using.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a branding shoot and a headshot?
A headshot captures your face, usually for LinkedIn or profile use. A branding shoot is bigger — it tells the story of your business, shows you at work, and gives you a variety of images for your website, social media, marketing and more.

Do I need to prepare anything before the shoot?
Yes, a little planning goes a long way! Think about your brand colours, props that reflect your work, outfits that make you feel like you, and any locations you’d love to include. I’ll guide you through everything so you feel fully prepared — and excited — on the day.

Can I use the images for social media?
Absolutely! Your gallery will include versatile images perfect for your website, Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletters — anywhere you want to show your brand at its best.

Will I know what to do in front of the camera?
Yes! I guide you through poses and natural movements, making it easy and fun. Most clients feel relaxed within minutes, and the images end up looking effortless and authentic.
