Carly Gilliatt is a Lincoln abstract painter with a garden studio that made me genuinely stop in my tracks, canvases on every wall, paint on every surface, fairy lights, quotes, and the most incredible paint-spattered floor I've ever photographed. This is what happened when we spent a morning capturing her, her space, and the story behind her work.

If you’ve spent any time in the Lincolnshire small biz community, you’ve probably heard of Number 75 Design. Eleanor and Matt, the husband and wife team behind the studio, are well known for their bold, no-nonsense approach to branding and web design. They build strategic brands for the respectfully rebellious founders who are ready to stop blending in — and their own brand is just as unapologetic.

Part one of Kat Ashton's personal branding shoot took us into the natural world. Part two took us into the city to Pret, where Kat had recently been working on user experience with the team there.

Our shoot together proves personal branding shoots don’t need to be on a boring studio backdrop or behind a desk, even if that’s where you’re most likely to be found working. Your branding shoot should tell the story behind the business, what makes you, YOU.

Sarah had a clear idea for our personal branding photoshoot including the relaxed coffee shop vibe and colour tones to match her own brand.

Working with Sarah was bloody lovely, it can be nerve wracking when two photographers work together, wondering if one is judging the other, but there was nothing but LOVE for one another.
