Headshots, branding & content photography that shows the real you
Hey, I’m Patrick – a commercial photographer based in Hertford, creating scroll-stopping, story-driven images for brands, businesses, and brilliant people.
The aim for me is to capture images that will make your audience want to explore what YOU do as opposed to checking out the other 100 recommendations they’ve received on social media.
If you’re anything like me, when I was starting out as a photographer I really wished people could see not only my work, but also the time and effort that took place AFTER a shoot behind-the-scenes. Unless you’re an astronaut there’s probably going to be hundreds of people in the same trade as you, and in the same town, which is why I strive to capture the elements and passion that make you proud of what you do and what you feel sets you apart. I think that the last 5% makes 100% of a difference and it’s THAT I capture.
From natural headshots and personal branding to product photos, interiors, and behind-the-scenes storytelling – I help businesses show up with personality and purpose. You might be launching something new, giving your website a refresh or periodically needing content.
If you’d like to chat about what you’re looking to achieve or highlight about what you do, give me a call and we can go through some ideas together.
