Helping Businesses Improve their Visual Marketing They feel false, posed, tense.

I’m Toby, a business headshot photographer. 📸

I help people feel at ease in front of camera, to put them at the forefront of their brand. I help them create the perfect first impression to build trustworthy and profitable networking connections.

“I HATE MY SMILE” 😬

Majority of people HATE having their photo taken. And rarely come across a professional photo of themselves that they actually lo

ve and are happy to share. If this is you, then know you are not alone! The reality is that you’ve never had a positive experience where you’ve felt CONFIDENT and GREAT in front of a camera. Over the last seven years I have helped more than a thousand clients around the UK be at ease in front of the camera, and capture images that truly represent their personality and potential. My business was born and built in London working with a variation of clientele, from professional actors working in film, television and theatre to CEO's of international tech companies. I have seen anxieties and fears manifest in various ways in front of camera, and have built skills and techniques to help support any client to feel CONFIDENT in front of camera. HOW CAN I HELP YOU? 💪🏼

My sessions are about you. They are designed to make you feel at ease, with the specific aim to capture you looking energised and professional to showcase your professional potential.

✅ Create the perfect first impression

✅ A headshot you are proud of and can't wait to share!

✅ Build instant networking connections

✅ Full direction and guidance throughout the photoshoot

✅ An online gallery to select your favourite images

✅ Professionally retouched and ready to use - no need for filters or alterations!

✅ High resolution images fully optimised for business and social media profiles

By the time we finish your session, you may feel like time has flown and what you feared would be a challenging task has actually been quite a breeze. You’ll leave the session with photos you can be proud of, that you can’t wait to share, and a positive CONFIDENCE-BOOSTING experience in front of camera. WHAT TO DO NOW 📆

If you want to start building profitable business connections you need a headshot you LOVE, and want to share. BOOK your headshot session at www.headshottoby.co.uk/

Most people who book with me are dreading it.

That's not a problem at all. It's my job to help you through it.

I didn't plan any of this.

Drama school. London. Actors. Then somehow - Lincoln, a studio, and photographing people who'd rather be anywhere else.

Ten years in, it makes perfect sense.

Preparation goes a long way to helping you feel confident in front of the camera.

And we're not just talking about what clothes to bring with you. Before a session, we plan exactly what you want to achieve with these professional photos. Who is your audience and what do you need to say to them in the images? That way we have a strong external focus, and a distraction from any nerves you may be feeling!

It's so much more than just a professional photo.

From the moment we meet I'm looking to see how you come across, the energy and enthusiasm you speak with, what you appear passionate about and full understand there is a layer of nerves masking all of this.

That initial conversation is vital to getting us into the studio, getting settled in each other's company so that when we start taking photos we feel familiar and connected. And this process occurs fairly rapidly and with ease and is regularly reflected in client reviews.

Well, if a headshot is your first impression, then I think this is a pretty good one!

For Josh working in property, building trust quickly is essential. He needs to reassure potential clients that he is friendly, approachable and committed to working hard for you. And when summarised like this, you could argue that is the goal for everyone involved in running a business.

So how are you making a first impression? Is it authentic to you and your personality? Does it strike a balance of who you are like to work with and reassure you can handle any difficult conversations when needed? All this we can tell our audience in a single head and shoulders photo.

48 secs in the Headshot Toby studio!

Behind the scenes video is the secret key to showing what truly happens in a headshot session, because first and foremost I need to ensure I'm creating a safe space.

You'll find I'm always looking to empower whoever is in front of the camera and fully guide them through the process. And if you look closely enough you can see my brain cogs turning thinking about the camera settings, lighting position, background and everything else that pulls together to create an awesome photo of you.

What do you reckon, does a photoshoot look exciting, or daunting?!

This morning I was reading Tom Stansfield's Business Growth 101 - a book designed to be opened at any page and get value from.

We worked together on a photoshoot that was eventually used as the front cover image.

One of his thoughts that jumped out to me today was "If everything is a priority, nothing is" to which he goes on to explain that we often have too many ideas and things we are trying to achieve that realistically most things end up unfinished with no clear measure of success.

I'm often parking ideas for growing business or marketing content, but the 'back of the mind' list is where those ideas remain.

Instead, he advises focusing on the one thing that would have the most impact today, and start working towards that.

Happy Friday all!

It's been one of those weeks...

Where you just sit back, sip a coffee, and think "I love this".

There has been a great range of projects from studio headshots, to filming a promotional video, editing catch up sitting comfortably at home with the dogs, and getting back into the gym after marathon two weeks ago!

Friday was kicked off to great start too at Lincoln Business Club. Check out the photos! 📸

Have a great weekend everyone!

Not so long ago, I updated my professional portraits, and it felt like the perfect time to reflect on how much has changed since my last one. To me, a headshot isn't just about a high-res file; it’s about showing the professional I am today.

A few ways I’m putting this to use:

📸 I updated my website that was designed around the new images in a cohesive style

📸 Refreshed my LinkedIn and "About Me" pages that put eyes on my content

📸 Updated my speaking/pitch decks so that my brand is with me everywhere I go

If you haven't updated yours in a while, this is your sign. It’s amazing how much a fresh look can shift your mindset.
