SAMANTHA GRAF
Capturing the Essence of Samantha Grafik: A Vibrant Brand & Graphic Designer's Personal Branding Photography SessionWhen creativity meets professionalism with a dash of sass and a touch of tomboyish edge, the result is Samantha Graf, the powerhouse behind Samantha Grafik. As a brand & graphic designer, Samantha’s vision for her personal branding photography session was clear: fresh, fun, professional, and trustworthy, intertwined with an ever-so-slight tomboyish allure. She radiates authenticity and her branding colours of vibrant shades of orange and blue encapsulate her uniqueness.
Samanthas outfits weren’t just clothes; they were an extension of her personality, distinct and authentic. We curated a blend of props that translated her professional scope—a MacBook, iPad, and Apple Pencil, alongside her business journal, pen and her signature le Creuset mug, a subtle nod to her brand's colour palette.
The studio session was a play of natural light against white backdrops with pops of vibrant orange, aligning seamlessly with Samantha's branding. These images were destined for various platforms - her website, landing pages, emails, and social media - a reflection of her multifaceted brand identity.
Here are some kind words from Samantha following our shoot:
"Ok, I am NOT someone who is naturally photogenic. I am awkward as anything in front of a lens. Would probably have about 100000 takes on my own phone just to get that one selfie that is deemed appropriate and acceptable enough to use in public. The only face I can pull that doesn’t look strained is an in action genuine laugh. Needless to say all this considered I was DREADING having a photoshoot done for my business. I knew I had to because I am a sole trading, service based freelancer so if I don’t have photos of myself then what’s even happening here. Tess blew me away! Firstly she made me feel so incredibly comfortable, relaxed and dare I say it… fun. We had such a great time on the shoot I actually didn’t want it to end… I actually loved so many of the photos. The frames were all suited to so many online platforms and she delivered sooooo fast I was impressed. Somehow she managed to effortlessly capture my business, my brand, my personality (all the good bits) and make it look professional, fresh and engaging. I don’t know how she did it but this girl has a gift and you need her now if you are after photography! It’s that simple Love her 💙" - Samantha Graf
