Branding photography is one of the fastest-growing niches in the photography industry — but why are businesses suddenly investing in large libraries of images instead of a single headshot?
In this episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, host Kersten Luts sits down with branding photographer and business strategist Miranda Kelton to explore the rise of personal branding photography and what it means for photographers today.
Miranda explains how modern businesses rely on visual storytelling across websites, social media, marketing campaigns, and advertising. A single portrait is no longer enough — companies now need dozens of images that communicate their brand personality, services, and expertise.
During the conversation, Miranda shares practical insights into planning branding photo shoots, guiding clients who feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, and structuring profitable branding photography packages. They also discuss marketing strategies for photographers, the importance of SEO and Google Business profiles, and why video content is becoming essential for modern brands.
If you're a photographer looking to grow your photography business or understand the demand for branding photography, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

Behind the scenes of filming a Kickstarter campaign on location in Ireland.
Join the Camera Shake Podcast as we explore photography, filmmaking, and the creative process behind a real product launch shoot.
Featuring wedding photographer Cathy Weatherston and filmmaker Bayleigh Dilloway.

In this special episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, we take you behind the scenes of filming a Kickstarter campaign while on location in Ireland.
Joining me are wedding photographer Cathy Weatherston and filmmaker/editor Bayleigh Dilloway, who were both part of the small creative team producing this product launch video.

From scouting dramatic locations across Northern and Southern Ireland to dealing with unpredictable weather and tight production schedules, this conversation offers a genuine behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Cathy shares her experience transitioning from documentary wedding photography to appearing as on-screen talent, while Bayleigh talks about stepping into the Director of Photography role and how filming on location affects editing and storytelling decisions.
If you’re interested in photography, videography, filmmaking, or the business of creating content for brands, this episode offers valuable insight into collaboration, production workflow, and real-world creative projects.
