When the faze 0 of a total lockdown was coming to the end in Barcelona (finally after so many months) Christina contacted me to shoot new visual content for her new brand. As many of us, during this time she needed to pivit and rebuild her business.

She had this fresh and positive energy, new creative ideas were popping up all the time, but also she was focused and she knew what she wanted.

The faze 1 started with a fresh beginning for both of us. I was out again, working, shooting, creating - with and for someone, outside my home. That feeling was incredible and it lasts until now, although the things are uncertain again.

How did we start?

After the first e-mail with all the needed description of Christina’s new brand, her values and expectations we started to build a mood board that helped us to have an integrated vision for her brand photoshoot.

We have chosen every prop and element very carefully, starting from flowers and ending on her magazine publications, chocolate bar and outfits.

As we started planning the photoshoot still during the lockdown, we met online. That helped us to connect really quick. It also allowed me to see her home office, where Christina planned to do the photoshoot.

CHRISTINA’S BRAND PHOTO REVIEW

“I work with Julia as a branding photographer for my business. She has been very responsive from day one and lovely to work with. She started out by creating a nice mood board to ensure we ran in the same direction style wise. She has made gorgeous pictures for my website and we'll continue working together to create material for my web and SoMe channels.”

Personal Brand Photography Tip:

Make a list of all the props that fit to your brand's philosophy and are adequate to your industry. You should include them in your brand photoshoot.

For some brands an obvious choice would be a laptop, agenda, cellphone, a book and a cup of coffee.

But don't limit yourself to those common objects, try to think out of the box and surprise your audience.

Think about props that will build your set: flowers, fruits, fabrics, tables or mirrors.
