Shedding a skin.

If you've ever had the chance to watch a snake shed their skin, the first thing you'll notice is that it's NOT a passive process.

The old doesn't just slough off without effort.

Shedding a skin is a fully active process. It’s struggle. There is serious effort involved in removing so much of an outer layer at once.

And even after it’s all done, there’s still pieces of 'the old' hanging on.

As we struggle through this process of self-reinvention (often unknown to ourselves) there are still little flakes of the past that cling to our sides for longer than expected... longer than necessary.

This 'reinventing yourself' s**t is hard. Deciding who we must be for this next vision/ version of ourselves can happen over time or in an instant.

But I find that actually removing the layers of identity I've worn for so many years takes quite some effort to peel away - as I step into the next expression of what I am becoming.

I love working with people at these inflection points where that shift is either about to hapen (or already in process). I love helping people discover the visual affirmation/ confirmation that who they are becoming is, in fact real... that they are whole and worthy and ready.

I LOVE IT when clients have a real sense of humour about their image!

I alway include a handful of silly outtakes from our sessions. And I love seeing them pop up.

The first one is from Tracy Angwin's crew over at the Australian Payroll Association. They've used a silly outtake of one of their trainers for the 404 Not Found page (which is possibly the most creative one I've ever seen).

And the second one is Cynthia Claire Dearin in a recent "mistakes" style post on LinkedIn. These kinds of posts always get good traction... but the image really takes it up a notch!

Of course, we need the images that show off the absolute best version/ vision of ourselves. But people really respond to the ultra-real, unpolished, and sometime even "ugly" versions of ourselves.

I think it takes a real Strength, Security and true Confidence to show this kind of stuff (that people without those qualities just couldn't bring themselves to share).

Anyone else have examples of images like this that you've used??

Here's a little something for our corporate friends...

If you EVER see the example on the left in a photographer's portfolio - RUN AWAY.

I call it the "corporate crotch cover" and it's completely unacceptable.

Unfortunately, it's the standard that most of us have come to accept/ expect.

If you care about projecting influence, authenticity and authority... it's gotta come through in your images.

Make sure you're working with a photographer who can create real body language that doesn't suck.

I have so much amazing work to share (that none of you have seen) from the past 4 or 5 months!

I love this shot. To me, it’s a magical balance of open and closed body language that forces the viewer to linger… to wonder… to try to interpret and therefore co-create the meaning and significance.

And THAT’S a wrap! Last shoot for 2024 with one of my absolute favourites.

We’ve been working together for quite a few years. It’s so awesome to evolve alongside my clients. Helping explore and express their newest version/ vision of themselves.

Setting the standard of visual communication… especially in industries where it isn’t ‘expected’.

Images that project effortless presence, purpose and personality.

This has been an unbelievable year - both the highs and the lows. But I’ve never been more proud of the direction I’m headed. And I’m suuuper excited for the next stage of my own evolution in 2025.

We just moved to Red Hill (Brisbane) about a week ago… aaaaand guess who has a new home studio?!

I’m super excited to have a little play space where I can do some different things like products and even really simple headshots.

Anyone interested in a super straightforward LinkedIn-style headshot?
No big production.
You come in ready to shoot.
And we spend some time crafting a beautifully meaningful expression…

Asking for Help: Introduction to PR Agencies

Hey LinkedIn fam! It's getting to the point where the level of production and results that I'm known for needs to be pointed at bigger projects and more high profile people on a global stage.

So I'm interested in collaborating with some new PR agencies doing "real PR" work for significant companies/ people/ teams doing important work, and I'd love some warm introductions.

(I'm specifically AVOIDING the Fashion/ Beauty/ Lifestyle/ Influencer space. That's all very pretty, but just not my thing.)

I'm only considering working with Agencies that are fully aligned, so I always start new conversations with my Vision & Values Alignment Guide - https://bit.ly/VisionValuesAlignmentGuide-SuperpowerPartners

DM here, connect via LinkedIn, or email [email protected]

Thanks in advance!!

I have been in the middle of a pretty significant biz transformation lately... I've been working to FULLY transition into a Vision & Values-based style of communication around my business - and completely away from any hint of a Transaction-based model.

So I just had to share a rather common (but still somehow totally mind-blowing) enquiry that came through yesterday.

It was the classic "How much does it cost and what do I get" type of enquiry... you know, that old chestnut. But the results were totally different this time.

I've included screenshots of the whole 6-part conversation, removing all the names except my own.

I think the most interesting feature (aside from her stunningly poor communication skills) is how a FULLY Values based approach leads DIRECTLY to a "hell yes" or a "hell no".

It was such an effortless, smooth, clean, honest, simple win/win (although she may not perceive it that way at the moment).

Whereas before I would have really struggled to explain or justify why we are truly different. In the past I would have tried to explain that I'm a real 'specialist'.... and this is 'more than photography'... or whatever I could have come up with.

And in the end, I would have gotten stuck... and probably just engaged with her where she's at... allowing her to dictate and control the conversation.

But now - with the tools that I have... having done all of this deep differentiation work is pure freaking magic.... I'm actually communicating my skillset in a COMPLETELY different way than I had before - even though it's still "photography".

If you're curious to have a look, here's the link to my brand-spanking-new Vision & Values Alignment Guide (client version... I have a slightly different one for partners) - I'm very proud and it's already doing the good work.

Please steal this. Use it as a template. Make your own Vision & Values Alignment Guide.

You'll never look back. I promise.

This is NOT really about 'photography' or 'personal branding' or 'amplifying your leadership positioning' or whatever lukewarm topics are usually addressed by photographers.

This IS about mastering Communication itself... And how to completely change the quality of conversations you're having with your audience by starting to Communicate your unique vision & value in 3D.

I guarantee you've never heard a "photographer" speak like this before...

Enjoy!

My people are the ones who dare to let themselves SHINE THROUGH...

Shine through their masks...
their job title...
the boxes life tries to stuff us into...
the stories we tell the world to fit in... to be wanted... to belong.

The ones who shine through the fog of indifference that we use to 'shield' ourselves from the noise all around us...

The ones who have something important to say...
something valuable to share...
something more to give.

Today's the Day!

If you're going to you might wanna check me out!

My talk has nothing to do with photography or "personal branding"...

It's ALL about Differentiation... Communicating your distinct Vision & Value in a way that simply can not be copied.

Because any time we can communicate in a way that makes people FEEL something is how we win the game of attention and significance in the hearts and minds of our audience.

I'll be on stage Thursday 12th, sharing "Tragic to Magic - How to Differentiate Yourself and Your Biz in a Sea of Sameness"

I ask everyone I work with these days… “How do you want to show up?
Who are you REALLY?”

It blows my mind how often we settle for less… How small we tend to project ourselves… Or how utterly unfamiliar we are with our deeper selves or the vision of what’s even possible.

Even when people reach in to pull out the qualities that matter most, too many people come up with “confident”. That’s BORING and so one-dimensional.

Why ‘display confidence’ when you can Embody Certainty?

I hear “strong” a lot. But that’s such a s**tty goal. Why would we aim for ‘strong’ when Powerful is so much more significant and meaningful?

And if I hear “approachable” one more time I’ll scream. It’s such a trash word with zero resonance or feeling. It’s such a low bar to set.

How about showing up so the people who matter most actually Identify with you??

Why do we seem to automatically aspire to such mediocre expression of who we really are??

What ever happened to “shooting for the stars and at least hitting the moon”?

Confident and Strong and Approachable are barely above sea level.

I work with people who can imagine something grand… something profound… something elemental.

The work we can do together is truly Visionary. That’s what I’m here to create.
