Professional photography that reflects the strength of your brand

As a brand manager, marketing director or small business owner you understand the power of a strong visual identity. Every image your company puts out — whether on your website, in pitch decks, or across LinkedIn — tells a story about who you are and what you stand for. As a photographer, I specialise in helping businesses tell that story with clarity, consistency, and professionalism.

My aim is to not just take corporate headshots, but to craft visual assets that align with your brand’s tone, values, and goals. Whether you’re looking to refresh your team portraits, capture executive leadership, or build a cohesive image library for ongoing campaigns, I approach every shoot with your brand narrative in mind.

Bringing a calm, efficient, and detail-oriented presence to every session — I understand the importance of time, tone, and trust when working with professionals, and know how to make even the most camera-shy team members feel comfortable and confident.

Why Choose Kiren

An editorial perspective shaped by global brands, fashion and film

Photography for a brand needs to do more than document a business. It needs to communicate something about who that organisation is.

My approach has been shaped by more than 25 years working professionally across portrait, fashion, editorial, commercial and communications photography — including assignments for global brands, leading fashion magazines and major media organisations.

I have spent almost a decade working in New York, along with extensive experience in Paris and Australia, photographing people in environments where the visual standard is high, the brief is demanding and there is little room for error.

My work has appeared in and been commissioned by leading fashion and media titles including Vogue, Elle and GQ, alongside work for major media organisations and international brands. I have also photographed some of Australia's best-known actors, directors, artists, athletes, business leaders and public figures.

That experience brings a different sensibility to corporate photography.

Team Headshots

Used to put a human face to your company website, press releases or LinkedIn profile, team headshots are cropped at the head & shoulders. Unlike a portrait, they are more of an iconic representation. Headshot photography is done against a plain background either using natural light or with high-end studio strobe lighting. 

Studio strobe lighting will give your team’s headshots a more finished and professional look. Having the ability to control lighting to this extent allows for consistency in each headshot regardless of the weather or the time of day. This is essential for companies with large numbers of staff.

Natural light headshots can be created either indoors using window light or outdoors in a shaded area. Natural light headshots have a softer more natural look and are suitable for businesses looking for a more personal and approachable look.

Headshots using studio lighting (featured below) will deliver a more slick and defined look to your business.

Editorial Style Business Portraits

These customised portraits are similar in style to the glossy editorial portraits I shoot for fashion magazines and so offer more depth and creativity than standard headshots. They can instantly add value to the overall look of your website or annual report.

When creating a portrait for a business client, one of my main objectives is to help humanise that client’s brand. The reason behind this is due to the fact that consumers no longer have the same sense of confidence they once had in big corporations, which has sparked the shift towards transparency. Having a portrait that conveys a sense of trust and likability is now paramount to anyone in business.

Brand Storytelling

Create a library of images to give your company a consistent visual identity across it’s website, social media, PR and marketing. Also used to give your clients a clearer insight into the workings of your business. This may range from customised in-situ and group set ups to interior photography of your working environment.

Annual Reports and Corporate Communications

Create a visual library for your next annual report. Having well crafted editorial style images in your next annual report will not only captivate your readership but also provide your business with a valuable background story.  This could include images of employees, manufacturing, projects, facilities and community involvement.

Hair & Makeup Advice

For men it's important that you look fresh and healthy. Try to drink as much water as you can on the days leading up to your shoot and moisturise your skin. On the day, bring along your preferred hair product, a brush and some lip balm.

For women it's best to avoid heavy powder and foundation. While this may make you feel more confident, it has the potential to flatten out your features and make you look older. As a guide, you only need to wear as much make up as you would to a business lunch or meeting.

Wardrobe Advice

Aside from choosing clothing that is industry appropriate, consider taking it up a notch and choosing an outfit that has an aspirational quality to it. I say aspirational because good corporate photography is n't about documenting reality, it's about crafting imagery that will inspire others to want to be associated with us. If you want to look very contemporary for example, consider ditching the shirt and tie for a quarter zip pullover. If that’s not you, I've provided the following industry tips.

Darker colours will streamline your figure. Where possible avoid wearing large areas of white as this colour has a tendency to blow out and loose detail in certain lighting situations (note that a white shirt under a dark jacket is fine). If your goal is to look slimmer it's also best to avoid white clothing as well as horizontal stripes.

For men in the corporate sphere, consider wearing a jacket over your business shirt or if you work for a start-up, a blazer over a T-shirt. A jacket will define your shoulders better and also create a very flattering 'V shape' from your face down to through your torso. Avoid wearing shirts with busy designs or loud patterns unless of course it's part of your work wear. Neck ties are a personal choice but be aware that even in more traditional industries more men are opting for the more casual open collar look.

For women with fair skin, be aware that strong colours like yellow and orange can wash out your skin tone. If you're worried that your arms are not as slim or toned as you'd like them to be consider wearing long sleeves or a jacket and avoid off the shoulder tops. Keep jewellery simple (think less is more). If you're unsure about a certain piece it's best to leave it out. 

Turn Around Time

Proofs from your shoot are usually ready within 2-3 business days and can be easily viewed and downloaded on-line. Hero shots can then be selected from your proofs, which then go on to be hand retouched. Retouching for small jobs usually takes 3 business days. 

Have you any advice for people who are uncomfortable with having their photo taken?

Most people having their portrait taken will understandably feel nervous. My advice is to treat the experience as just another part of your job. With everything online these days, putting a human face to what we do helps others connect with us. This simple shift in perspective where we move from a personal to a professional role can make a huge difference.

Being in front of the camera is very much like acting. It's about projecting energy and confidence, even at times when you don't feel up to it. Like any skill, whether it be playing tennis or learning to dance the tango, it's something you eventually get better at with experience.

As a photographer, creating the right environment and providing professional on-camera direction is an essential part of what I do. My best advice for camera shy people is not to over think it. Turn up to your shoot with an open mind and a playful attitude and treat the experience as an adventure.
