Want Someone to Obsess
Over Your Brand as Much as You Do?
Lisa Scontras
Long before I became a brand photographer, I was planning large-scale events in London, where strategy came first. When companies invest millions in an event, every decision serves a larger objection. Nothing is arbitrary because every decision influences the outcome.
I approach brand and headshot photography in exactly the same way. Every element serves a purpose, from the location and timeline to the wardrobe, props, composition, and how every image will ultimately be used.
The strongest brand photographs often look effortless, almost as though they happened naturally. In reality, they're the result of strategic planning, clear creative direction, and countless intentional decisions made during the planning process.
that's where i come in.
My Approach
Scroll-stopping brand photography rarely comes from a one-size-fits-all approach, and that's exactly why I love what I do!
I'll ask a lot of questions (and I really mean a LOT), and spend time researching your business because I want to understand not only what you do, but who you want to reach, and how your photographs can best support your business.
Your images shouldn't simply fill spaces on your website or social media feed. They should have a clear purpose, support your marketing and become one of your hardest-working marketing assets.
My Style
I've always been someone who notices the little things.
I'm the person who replaced every door and piece of hardware in my home to get just the right look.
I'll happily spend far too long searching for the perfect miniature containers for the brandy butter I make for my annual Mince Pie party. Yes, I take my Mince Pies very seriously!
I'll move something an inch to the left because I know that's where it belongs.
It's also why I photograph the way I do.
My Process
My clients are busy running businesses, serving their clients, and wearing more hats than they care to remember. They don't need another thing on their plate.
That's why every branding and headshot session is designed to feel calm, collaborative and uncomplicated. You won't be expected to know exactly what images you need, what to wear or how it all comes together. That's my job!
