QUESTIONS

Me, Tigz Rice! Whenever you book a personal branding shoot through Tigz Rice Ltd, know that you will always get me. I will never send a replacement (unless, of course, your shoot is date-specific and sending a replacement in case of unforeseen circumstances is written into our contract).

Every personal branding shoot is completely bespoke, so it would be impossible to give a definitive answer, but I always make sure I have around 50 great images per hour booked for you to choose from at the end of your session!

Absolutely! You are very welcome to split your session with your co-founder, collaboration guest or business partner. If you have a team of three or more individuals that you would like photographed, please contact me directly for a bespoke quote.

As a good starting point, for a one-hour personal branding photoshoot, I recommend bringing two full outfits to maximise variety from your session. Layers are excellent for switching things up super quickly too, so you could potentially manage three ‘looks’ by switching out a leather jacket for a blazer, for example.

Oh, and don’t forget props! If you can, why not bring some tools of your trade. For example, if you’re a photographer, bring your camera. Laptops, podcasting microphones, notebooks, pens and inspiring books are also great staples to have with you

Since launching in 2009, it has been my mission to make all of my photography services as inclusive and accessible an experience as possible for clients, which is also why we offer to travel to you*. We can pick poses suitable for your comfort and energy levels and I can also offer suggestions for poses that require fewer spoons. If you have any condition/s that you think may impact your shoot experience, please mention this at the time of booking so I can do everything I can to support you and make your personal branding shoot a positive experience. (*Travel costs may apply, please get in touch for more details.)

During your personal branding shoot experience, my goal is for us to keep the energy in the room 100% focused on you. Whilst I’ve allowed chaperones to attend in the past – and 99% of them have been nothing but supportive cheerleaders – the energy is ALWAYS better in the room when it’s just us. You can lean into your fully authentic self in a completely safe space without any fear of judgment.

That said, there’s a high chance that we have only spoken via video call before your session – and I’m all about making sure everyone feels safe – so I’m very happy for someone to escort you to your photoshoot and confirm I’m not one of those dodgy internet types, then come back at a mutually agreed time to pick you up afterwards.

That’s what I’m here for! Whether it’s your first time in front of a camera or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll benefit from over a decade’s worth of industry knowledge to help you look and feel your best in front of my camera. I can’t wait to photograph you!

Good question! The absolute best thing I can recommend here is to check out my Instagram and delve into my personal branding portfolio…

• Do you see your size/shape/age/ethnicity/gender represented in my images? (if not, please let me know!)
• Do you connect with my style of photography?
• How do you feel about my retouching – do you like my minimalist editorial style, or do you prefer a highly airbrushed finish?
• Would you feel comfortable (emotionally) recreating the poses you see in my images? Do they sit within your definition of ‘empowered’?
• Do you resonate with my content and captions?
• What are my clients saying about their personal branding experience?

If you respond positively to each of these points, reach out and connect with me – you could always ask for a 1-2-1 call if you’re still not 100% sure.

There’s nothing better than a full pamper session in my opinion, taking the pressure off you to make sure you’re winged eyeliner is even, or you’re having the best possible hair day! My resident stylists all have cruelty-free (and vegan where possible) styling kits and can work to your skin’s individual care needs. If you would like to add one of my resident hair and make-up artists to your personal branding shoot package, please ask during your consultation. You deserve to feel amazing.

Of course, if you’re comfortable doing your own hair and makeup to a professional standard, please do!

Please, please do NOT get a spray tan! Whilst it may be tempting to add a little sun-kissed glow to your skin before you personal branding session, more often than not your spray tan will appear streaky, patchy or orange/green (yes, green) on camera, I guarantee it. Since fixing fake tan is not something I include in my retouching, you may need to pay for additional retouching costs. You’ll also need to sign a contract that says you are personally responsible for covering the cleaning costs of any fittings and fixtures stained with any fake tan during your shoot. All to say, I personally recommend ditching the fake tan and rocking bare skin.

Yes of course! Please do not put any filters over the images and make sure to include a credit line – you can find me on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter & Instagram.
