For Founders and Marketing Leads at Purpose-led Companies
The Brand Story Library
Build a library of images in just ONE day so that you can attract the clients and talent your business is ready for.
We work together to create a versatile library of photography that feels natural, genuine and on-brand, ready to be used across every part of your business.
Your business is ready for the next big launch but your brand doesn’t reflect that on the outside.
Building a library full of consistent, on-brand storytelling images in just ONE day means no longer searching for the ‘right image’ at the 11th hour again. And finally having the visual presence to attract the clients and talent you’re ready for.
Here's how you know your story's going untold:
1. Outdated
The images on your website are from about five years ago, and of people that no one recognises, whether that’s just different haircuts or different people entirely.
2. Invisible
You’re doing incredible work and want to shout it from the rooftops, but no one can see it. Your people, culture and expertise are practically invisible on the outside.
3. Repetition
Client presentations are full of fantastic case studies, but they all use the same three images on rotation, because they’re the only ones that feel right - and you really don’t want to resort to generic stock photography.
Hi, I’m Nic.
Before becoming a photographer, I spent over 20 years working as a designer and art director for global companies including Nike, Coca-Cola and Channel 4, helping them communicate who they are and what they stand for. I spent many hours sourcing and commissioning photography, and I know exactly how time-consuming and frustrating it is when you just can't find the right shot – often with a deadline looming (we’ve all been there)!
Always having a keen interest in photography, and increasingly unable to find what I needed for my own client work, I decided to get behind the camera myself. I trained for several years with some of the most renowned documentary photographers in the world to develop and craft my skills. My work has since been recognised internationally, including being selected as a winner of Portrait of Britain 2025, featured by Vogue, exhibited throughout the UK, and published by a number of leading photography organisations.
I now combine my passion for documentary photography with my extensive background in brand design and advertising, working with founders and marketing leads struggling with outdated and inconsistent imagery. Together we build a library of unique storytelling images that works across every part of the business, all in one place, ready whenever they need it – saving hours of time, and no more missed opportunities.
5 simple steps to attract the clients and talent you’re ready for
-
1. Understand
We start with a conversation about your business, your brand and where it’s heading. Your people, process and environment all tell a rich, unique story about who you are, what you do and why it matters.
-
2. Plan
A pre-shoot recce on location: meeting key members of your team, planning the day and seeing the light and space ahead of time. For locations further afield, this can happen remotely or directly pre-shoot.
-
3. Shoot
The day itself is relaxed, unobtrusive, and built around your environment, schedule and people. I keep things light, in how I work and the kit I bring so there’s no disruption to your day.
-
4. Curate
Every image is curated and hand-edited by me personally, into a consistent, on-brand look and feel. Only the very best from the day make the cut, so every single image serves a purpose in the library.
-
5. Deliver
A beautiful, on-brand image library, delivered through a private online gallery - ready to view, download, share and use across your website, socials and presentations, whenever you need it.

There’s no hidden surprises or stress about the weather
I’m well aware that usage rights with imagery can get complicated and sometimes stab you in the back when you least expect it. That’s why every image from your commission comes with full usage rights included from day one – no separate licence fees, no fine print, nothing to negotiate later. What's in your gallery is yours to use, however your business needs it, forever.
If the weather’s not as planned and we need a certain light on the day we’ll monitor things and be prepared for; sunrise, sunset times, rain, sleet and snow – and if the shoot day needs to move, we’ll move it. No extra charge or complications.
Are you ready to build a library full of story-led images that attract the clients and talent you’re ready for?

I look forward to meeting you.
Nic.
