Richard Hancock

First impressions matter

Especially in business. Whether it’s your website, LinkedIn profile, or marketing materials, the images you use speak volumes about your professionalism and brand identity.

That’s exactly why Richard Hancock, owner of RJH-IT, came to me for a branding and headshot photoshoot. As an IT consultant and cybersecurity expert based in Cheshire West and Chester, Richard needed images that reflected his expertise, professionalism, and approachability.

We had an absolute blast capturing his brand across multiple locations in Cheshire West and Chester, producing a stunning set of images that he can now use across his business. Here’s how the shoot went and why professional branding photography is a game-changer.

Why Branding Photography is Essential for IT Consultants & Business Owners

Whether you’re an IT consultant like Richard, a business coach, or an entrepreneur, having a strong personal brand is key to standing out. Here’s why professional branding photos can make all the difference:

Instantly Builds Trust & Credibility – In industries like cybersecurity, where trust is everything, professional images make you look polished, reliable, and approachable.

Creates a Consistent Brand Identity – High-quality images help create a cohesive look across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing materials.

Makes You More Relatable – People connect with people, not logos. Professional branding photos showcase the person behind the business, making it easier for potential clients to engage with you.

Gives You Endless Marketing Content – From social media posts to website banners, having a library of professional images means you’re always ready to promote your business.

Behind the Scenes: Richard’s Branding Photoshoot in Cheshire West and Chester

We didn’t just take one headshot and call it a day—we created a full brand story through imagery.

Multiple Locations in Cheshire West and Chester – We shot in various settings to reflect Richard’s work style, from professional office environments to more relaxed, approachable spaces.

Cybersecurity & Tech-Inspired Themes – We incorporated subtle elements of Richard’s industry into the shots, ensuring his expertise was visually represented.

Authenticity & Personality – Not every shot was corporate and formal. We made sure to capture relaxed, natural moments that showcase Richard’s personality and approachability.

The result? A diverse set of images that tell his brand story, build trust, and help him connect with potential clients.
