Showcasing your Business Services Through Professional Branding Imagery: Brisbane's Shique Beauty
Ask yourself, what’s the most attention grabbing thing when someone searches for you, your company or your product? Imagery!
Your imagery reflects your brand. As a service provider, photographs of you working in your field is vital in portraying your personal brand or creating a personal connection with potential future clients.
Under the LP Commercial Photography brand, I captured some commercial branding imagery for the lovely team at Shique Beauty to capture their services, their personalised service and their friendly and 5 star customer service. Such a lovely, open and glowing group of ladies who are amazing at what they do - hair, make-up and beauty services.
The imagery that reflects your brand is the first contact many people will have with you. Simply having well taken imagery is not enough. At a glance, those images must also communicate and uphold your brand identity and core values. In a crowded marketplace identifying photographers who can achieve both stunning images and effectively communicate brand values is critical.
Get it wrong and best case scenario is you will need to spend more money on more imagery, worst case scenario is the imagery could alienate your consumers and clientele and have a real negative effect on your bottom line. Too often, people buy purely on cost then find that the cheapest option only ends up costing far more in the long run.
My business partner, Andy and I are dedicated to working hand-in-hand with our clients to ensure a rewarding and enjoyable working experience and collaboration of minds to create pride in the end result among all those involved in a commission.

Kansai Karate - Capturing the award winning family business: Brisbane Commercial Fitness Photography
As a graphic designer, new media specialist and photographer with a background in marketing and business, I love when businesses get in contact to improve their branding, their imagery for social media/their website and for presenting a more professional representation of their brand in promotional materials. This is a real passion for us at LP Commercial Photography.
We are not just photographers at the end of the day, we are branding specialists, we guide our clients through planning their imagery, it’s uses, the type of imagery they need, examples of the imagery we could achieve etc.
I recently got to work with Father, Daughter & Son team, Stephen, Jamie and 11 year old Logan, from Kansai Karate Academy & Fitness by Jamie to create some professional imagery that reflected their values and showed off their state of the art facilities.
Kansai Karate Academy was founded by Stephen Kelly in Queensland in 1993 and is part of the worldwide Shito-ryu Shukokai World Karate Union. The Academy’s award-winning Honbu (Headquarters) Karate dojo and the High Performance Centre is located in the Brisbane western suburb of Sumner Park, which is approx. 15 kms from Brisbane city.
Kansai Karate won the Quest Newspaper Business Achiever of the Year for Fitness and Sport and operates a fully equipped, professional, full time dojo in Sumner Park and Satellite dojos in the suburbs of Clayfield, Moggill, Springfield and the Gold Coast.
Shihan Stephen and his staff of highly trained and qualified instructors teach traditional and sport karate in a modern, energetic and exciting atmosphere that will benefit both you and your family. Our specially formulated classes are separated and designed to cater for all ages from 3 years to adults.
I loved working with the team as being a family business, they value their clients, family and teaching the best techniques to their students. See some of the awesome imagery I captured for them at their Sumner Park dojo.

Albi Swim: Brisbane Commercial Swimwear Range Photoshoot
We got to create some beautiful imagery for swimwear range Albi Swim, coming to the market soon! “For babes who love the sun on their face + sand on their feet”
The thing I loved about Sherrie’s branding is that she is catering for different body types and social media content concentrates on body confidence, friendship and experiences. The images feature 3 friends, happiness, laughing and confident women in the skin that they’re in.
See some of our favourite images from our photoshoot on the Gold Coast below.

Wild Hart: Boho Luxe, Eco-Inspired, Handmade Jewellery - Brisbane Lifestyle Product Photography
I love working with creatives!
In particular, last week I got to work with the lovely Jesse on her boho luxe, eco-inspired jewellery label “Wild Hart”. We created some beautiful lifestyle imagery, product content, flatlays and detailed product shots for her brand, ready to launch on the 15 December.
The thing I love most about her brand is the handmade, uniqueness of each piece. Jesse sources the flowers locally from the flower market and creates these one of a kind pieces. The first collection ready to launch in late December is called “Gaia” - a symbolism of Mother Earth, celebrating the beauty around us and the beauty within. The pieces are designed to encapsulate this and are so striking to the eye!
Check out some of her beautiful pieces below as well as her instagram for a Christmas competition giveaway and her collections.

Getting into the spirit of Christmas! A great team of people: Perform 360
This week I had the pleasure of photographing the fun and fit Perform 360 team - Jason, Brent, Callum, Soni & Alex. Perform 360 is Brisbane's leading functional performance facility offering a range of activities including personal training, small group training, group classes, olympic lifting, gymnastics and yoga.
The team regularly let me use their amazing space for LP fitness photoshoots and with their variety of workout areas I'm never stuck for locations to shoot!
I really wanted to capture a bit of the fun, quirky side of the team! With their fitness & gymnastics backgrounds we wanted to make their team photos a bit more fun. Great working with the team, creating some great team portraits and Christmas themed images for social marketing. Check out some of my favs below <3

Capturing a beautiful musician
This month has been a great month for creative work and working with some of my best friends to execute some stunning personal projects. I was lucky enough to photograph my best friend (and now housemate) for future marketing material as a musician.
Jesse has a very elegant style about her, relaxed and easy going, boho but stylish, pretty but also striking! She has a very beautiful and unique look about her and her music is to die for.
Here is a sneak peak of some of my favourite photos from our shoot at Roma Street Parklands.
Lucy and Loo Fashion Editorial: Celtic Collection
We recently had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful convertible dresses for fashion line Lucy and Loo on the Sunshine Coast. The Australian made convertible dresses are quality Italian microfibre that can be wrapped and twisted into almost any style – making them the perfect bridesmaid dress!
Both Andy and I went along to the photoshoot to get two different perspectives. As photographers we have two completely different styles that complement each other really well. The shoot was Celtic inspired, being half Irish myself I was very keen and knew exactly what sort of images my client imagined and knew we could deliver.
See below for the amazing result being published in the April edition of Profile Magazine. See the spread here page 69.
