Rajen Mistry
Brand & Portrait Photography · Cambridge & UK
You're already doing brilliant things. The clients, collaborators and opportunities you want are out there right now — searching, scrolling, making decisions about who to trust.
The question is: when they find you, does what they see match the person you actually are?
I'm Rajen — brand photographer based in Cambridge. I fix that.
Still the best-kept secret in your world?
No hard sell. Just a conversation about where you are and what you need.
They were already brilliant. Now everyone can see it.
"I was using a outdated headshot and hadn't looked at how I was actually presenting myself 'out there.' Rajen turned that into a personal brand I could use straight away. Immediately got a great response — I've been approached by people I haven't worked with for years, just because they can now SEE what I do."
– Ros, Executive Coach
"As someone always uneasy in front of a lens, I was amazed at how Rajen's guidance built my confidence. The impact on my professional image has been profound — it's enhanced my visibility and opened doors to new opportunities and connections."
– Alistair, Founder / CTO
Is your work speaking for itself — or staying silent?
You've built something real. Your expertise is genuine, your results are proven. But online? You're invisible. Or worse — you look like everyone else.
If you're a founder, coach, consultant, creative or career transitioner — and people need to trust you before they'll hire you, follow you or invest in you — then the images you put into the world are either working for you or working against you.
This is for people ready to change that.
More than a headshot.
A visual identity.
Most people think a great portrait is enough. One strong image for LinkedIn, maybe one for the website. Job done.
Wrong.
The people you want to work with are doing their research. They're checking your LinkedIn, your website, your social. They're building a picture of you before they ever make contact.
A single portrait can't tell that story. What you need is a suite of images that works everywhere — and tells the same consistent story at every touchpoint. Images that answer the question "why should I trust this person?" before you've said a word.
"I felt so seen and heard in my time working with Rajen. He helped me to see the power in my values and helped me to work out how I wanted to position myself as a Creative Director.
– Joanna, Creative Director
"I've been using these images across my website, proposals and social media. Rajen thinks about your brand and how the images can position you."
"Rajen helped me articulate my story, then translated it into images that captured my brand in ways I hadn't thought possible. The ideal person if you want to elevate your brand through your story."
– Babita, Growth Coach
– Ben, Filmmaker
A photographer who's been exactly where you are
"I know exactly what it feels like to step out from behind the work and become the face of it."
20+ years as a creative director for world-class brands. Then in 2019 — a redundancy, a daughter, and a question: what do I actually want to build?
I came out the other side having built something of my own. Which means I'm not just a photographer. I'm someone who's been exactly where you are — and knows what it takes to show up properly in the world.
My role is to bring out what's already there. The story, the presence, the personality that makes you worth paying attention to. Some clients come just for the photography. Others want to go deeper — into positioning, narrative, and building a full personal brand. Either way, we start with a conversation.
