Lighting, composition, and tone need to match across the entire team. Otherwise, your website and internal pro...

As we scroll through LinkedIn, there are those rare headshots that pop—red, blue, even a bold yellow—immediately catch our eye. But when does a coloured background actually work ? And how do you know if it’s right for your brand? I've noticed a growing trend among professionals who want to showcase their personality and stand out for the right reasons. For many, a well-chosen coloured background strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and individuality. Real Examples: Colour in Action One of our clients,   Executive Coach and Speaker , Cheryl Alderman , opted for a vibrant red background that radiated energy, visibility, and passion, perfect for her niche. Another, a lawyer , chose a calm, modern blue , creating a polished but contemporary feel that reflected her approachable, client-first ethos. Both colours worked beautifully, not because they were loud, but because they were aligned with the individual’s message and market. When Coloured Backgrounds Make Sense...

There was a time when profile images were just for senior management on the "About  Us" page of the website. These days, your photograph appears everywhere. Teams , Slack , Zoom , internal directories, email signatures, LinkedIn , conference platforms, in tenders and on company websites, as well as media releases.  You are no longer just representing your organisation to the outside world. You are representing yourself and connecting with colleagues internally every single day. In large organisations, especially those that are spread across states or countries, that small square image becomes surprisingly important. We Work With Faces Now Many teams rarely meet in person. Entire departments collaborate across time zones.  In this environment, your photo does all the hard work. It builds familiarity It humanises your name in someone's inbox It makes you recognisable in a sea of meetings It softens digital communication When your profile photo is blank, cropped from a weddi...

How do you define yourself? By your occupation? Parenting status? Geography? Hi, I’m Nina, a corporate photographer based in Sydney and parent to four young adults. I sat with this for a moment and realised how markedly limited it is. I am so much more than that. I’ve only been a parent and photographer for around half my life. In the vibrant years prior, I was a musician, teacher, and award-winning vocalist. A marketing executive in the early days of the IT industry. An entrepreneur making an appearance on Channel Nine’s Money show, and an environmentalist and sustainability champion, before the words were mainstream. Even now, if I were to define myself solely as a photographer, I would be neglecting my unsung skills like writing, technical savvy, research prowess, and my quiet superpower, simply figuring things out. Then there are my personal qualities. My resilience in the face of adversity and aptitude for problem-solving. Did you know I smashed the Australian Defence Force aptit...
