Portraits with Cary Grant Style: Daniel Kebriti, Head of Manufacturing at LUSH

Daniel Kebriti, Head of Manufacturing at LUSH A great portrait communicates presence, credibility and personality. It's a bonus when your subject has just a little Cary Grant style! Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Daniel Kebriti , Head of Manufacturing at LUSH , whose portraits will be published on  LinkedIn and media releases, magazine articles,   conference promotions and the LUSH company website . Daniel needed imagery that could cover a lot of ground: professional, but approachable; confident, yet not overly formal. The brief was to create versatile portraits that could sit just as comfortably alongside executive bios as they would in lifestyle content or brand messaging. For Photographers:  My Lighting Setup Here’s the setup I used for this session: Main Light: A Profoto strobe with a small octagonal softbox and grid . This gave me directional control while keeping the falloff soft and flattering, especially around the face. Fill Light...

Why a Hypnotherapist’s Website Needs Profile Photos

Why a Hypnotherapist’s Website Needs Profile Photos When seeking a hypnotherapist, people aren’t just looking for credentials—they want to connect with someone who feels approachable, trustworthy, and compassionate. That’s why profile photos are essential for a website like Katrina Sangha’s. Before her recent photoshoot, Katrina’s website had no personal images, leaving visitors without a visual sense of who she is. As a hypnotherapist specializing in Rapid Transformational Therapy, her role is deeply personal—clients need to feel comfortable and at ease before they even book a session. By adding warm, professional profile photos, Katrina’s website will now reflect who she truly is: a skilled practitioner, an empathetic listener, and a healer who guides clients through transformation. These images will strengthen her brand and help potential clients take that important first step toward working with her.

Why Grey Backgrounds Are My Go To For Headshots

-
Image
  When it comes to headshots, there are endless choices for backgrounds. All of them have their place but none are quite as versatile as my favourite: grey.  Grey is the unsung hero of headshot photography. Here’s why I love it: 1. It’s Classy and Professional Grey is a great choice for executives or anyone needing a serious, polished headshot. While marketing professionals might opt for something bold, industries like finance and law benefit from a more refined, sophisticated look—exactly what a grey background delivers. 2. It Flatters Every Skin Tone Harsh colours like white, can sometimes wash people out or create unflattering undertones. Grey, on the other hand, plays nice with just about every complexion, creating a balanced and natural look without competing for attention. 3. It Compliments All Clothing Colors Not sure what to wear? No worries—grey works with everything. From bold jewel tones to classic neutrals, it never clashes, making outfit selection easier, too...
