Not all brand shoots are the same—and depending on your goals, you might need different styles of imagery to support your business. This blog breaks down the difference between brand photography vs content FNQ businesses often ask about, and how to know which type of shoot is right for you.
What Is Personal Brand Photography?
Personal brand photography sessions are all about you—the face behind the business.
Includes:
Lifestyle headshots
Working, creating, serving
Casual, friendly, or professional portraits
Perfect for: Coaches, creatives, service providers, and anyone who is the brand. Great for trust-building, profile pics, About pages, speaking gigs, and media features.
What Is Content Creation Photography?
Content shoots are focused on what you do or sell—your services, products, or process.
Includes:
Flatlays
Action shots
Styled products
Behind-the-scenes visuals
Perfect for: Hospitality, wellness, ecommerce, tradies—any business that needs a steady flow of on-brand visuals for social media, websites, and campaigns.

Tip: With smart planning, you can blend both into a single session—saving time and giving you variety.
