Personal Branding Photography in Cambridge
You're already doing brilliant things. When the right people find you, what they see should match the person you actually are.
“Rajen not only helped me articulate my story, he translated it into an art direction for our shoot. The experience was nothing short of transformative.”
You already have a personal brand. Let’s make sure it looks like you.
More than a headshot.
A visual identity.
The people you want to work with are doing their research. They're on your LinkedIn, your website, your socials, building a picture of you before they ever get in touch.
One good portrait can't tell that story. A library of images can: you at work, the way you think, the people you help, the details that make you different. The same story, told consistently everywhere you show up.
Who it's for
Founders, coaches, consultants and creatives whose expertise is real but isn't yet showing up online.
People stepping forward as the face of what they've built, or changing direction and ready to be seen for who they are now.
The portrait: direct, characterful, unmistakably you
In your world: your story, space and energy
The human moment: the details, your unique craft
Choose how much of your story to tell

The story session. 3-4 hours across two or three settings, showing different sides of your work: you at work, with the people you help, the details of what you do. Up to 30 images, enough for your website and months of social content.
Understood · from £850
The deeper story. 5-6 hours covering your work and the person behind it: the places, passions and moments that make you who you are. Up to 50 images, for launches, rebrands, speaking and books.

You’ll be working with me
I'm Rajen. I spent over 20 years as a creative director, shaping how brands were seen. I also know what it feels like to step out from behind the work and become the face of it.
So before we shoot, we work out your story and where your images will live. On the day, I'll guide you the whole way. Most sessions feel more like a good conversation than a photoshoot.
How we work together
Three steps. No complexity. Images in 7 days.
1. We talk
A free 20-minute call. I listen to your story, what you're building and who you want to reach. No pitch.
2. We plan and shoot
We shape the direction: locations, styling, the shot list. On the day, you just show up and I guide the rest.
3. You choose
A private gallery within a day. Pick your favourites and I retouch them within 7 days.
Kind words
"Rajen made me feel at ease throughout, which is no mean feat for this camera shy founder! He expertly captured the different aspects of my personality, and I'm so happy with the outcome.”
Really great experience working with Raj. Despite being pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera he made me feel at ease - bringing out exactly the right characteristics I was looking for.
“Rajen helped me re-evaluate my value to entrepreneurs and took a superb set of photographs to support my personal brand. He dug into my story to make sure we captured and conveyed the right aspects of my personality and expertise.”
