Who is this actually for?

Senior professionals whose reputation is already established — at moments where visibility carries real consequence. Leadership shifts, public roles, or increased exposure and attention.

How much does it cost?

Individual Sessions start at $1,700 and go up depending on depth and scope. We cover all of that on the call once I understand what you need.

What makes this different from other professional photography?

Most photography focuses on how you look. Of course that's important too, but this process focuses on whether your felt presence is recognisable — and coherent — when it matters.

Is this going to be awkward?

Being photographed is out of most people's comfort zones; but it doesn't need to be awkward. The process is designed for people who don't enjoy being photographed and don't want to perform.

What kinds of outcomes do clients actually use these images for?

Clients use these images where stakes are high — media, leadership roles, advisory positions, public profiles, and moments where trust and perception matter immediately.

How does the process actually work?

We see every shot as it happens with the camera tethered to a full screen — not squinting at the back of a camera hoping for the best. There's no mystery, no guessing, no hoping. We start knowing that most of the early frames won't be the ones. By reviewing together in real time, we refine precisely and honestly. Anything else is just guessing, and that's no way to work.

What if I don't like some of the images we create?

That's actually the goal. Being able to clearly identify what isn't you is a powerful step toward discovering what is. We expect to explore, test, and eliminate along the way. Every strong image comes from knowing why the others don't work.

Do I need to know what I want before I start?

No. Clarity is something we discover together, not something you're expected to bring.

What if I hate being photographed?

Then you're exactly the kind of person I designed this process for. Most of my clients tell me they're not photogenic, they freeze up, they've never had a photo they actually like. I welcome all of it. The entire process is built for people who aren't naturally comfortable in front of a camera — because that discomfort is real information, and we work with it rather than against it. You don't need to be good at this. That's my job.

Do you approach photographing men and women differently?

Honestly, yes — but not for the reasons people assume. Studies show over 80% of the impression someone forms about us comes from two cues: warmth and competence. Women tend to arrive pre-loaded toward over-cooking the warmth or over-correcting with a forced power pose. Most of my work with women is dialling out the performance. Men tend to arrive under-cooked, trained by cultural conditioning to act like appearance doesn't matter. My job is to hold a space where caring about how they show up isn't awkward — it's the whole point. Both groups are equally capable of brilliant portraits. They just walk in needing different things..

Superpower Headshots

The world's finest LinkedIn upgrade…

**An ‘About Me’ page that finally feels accurate…**

**Hero images that actually look (and feel) like you.**

“..redefining the art of the headshot.

He sees you with fresh eyes and deep knowledge.

Worth every cent.”

WHAT THIS IS

A 45-minute studio session. Two setups - one light background, one dark. Two finished images.

The same eye, the same direction, the same work that happens in everything else I do, focused tight on one outcome: a pair of images you'll actually be proud to use everywhere you show up.

Most headshots are painful. This one isn't. You're directed the whole way through, with real-time feedback as we go, so you're never left standing there wondering what to do with your hands.

WHAT YOU GET

45 minutes in the studio, fully directed
Two setups - one Light background, one Dark
15–30 curated images to choose from afterward
Two finished images, one from each setup
Additional finished images at $120 each

WHO IT'S FOR

You've been asked to speak, and the organiser wants a photo immediately
You've published something, and the author shot on the back doesn't really have the gravity you’d like
You're going out on your own
You're stepping into a new role - or looking for one
Your current photo is four years old and you flinch a little every time you send it

WHAT TO BRING

One outfit you feel strong in, plus a layer - a jacket, a blazer, something you can easily add or take off.

That's how we get two genuinely distinct looks without spending your session time changing.

A full preparation guide comes with your booking. But you can take a look at my recommendations here

“Get yourself in front of the lens with him.

The experience is something else entirely.

Best money you’re going to spend on your personal brand.”

WHAT THIS ISN'T

A wide-ranging exploration of identity, context and expression
A library of images for every audience you serve
If you're stepping into something that requires being seen across many different contexts - a portfolio career, a public-facing role, a chapter that asks more of you - The Encounter is the right place to start.

But if you need a couple genuinely exceptional images you're proud to use, you're in exactly the right place.
