I don’t do headshots.
I don’t do branding sessions.
I create the image of the moment you own who you are.

Because this isn’t about looking good in a photo.
It’s about seeing yourself the way the world needs to see you.

A little something popped up in the New Zealand Herald yesterday… they really butchered the image though.

Content VS Context

I was having this conversation again last night. We are all so focussed on creating more Content.

My question is - Have you spent ANY time establishing CONTEXT?

When we have done the really hard work upstream - establishing and communicating Context - creating the Content becomes simple. It just flows.

But until we deeply understand our own drivers, motivations, beliefs, and biases; our Content will be disjointed and never really connect with our audience.

This is one of the most amazing comments I’ve ever received!

The key to truly powerful, authentic Self-expression is profound Self-awareness of your deepest beliefs and highest ideals…

Knowing who you are (and how you’re evolving) is everything. Because you need to be able to recognise it when you see it reflected back to you.

And it had nothing to do with being ‘confident’.

Take a look at my Vision & Values Alignment Guide for the most valuable habits to develop before we work together.

Starting the day off right!

I’ve been photographing this crew for quite a few years now. It’s really amazing evolving alongside a brand… in collaboration.

And they call me “the magician” here. Flattery gets you everywhere! Hahaha!!

I couldn't resist! I asked ChatGPT to describe me and my business - like my DRUNK BESTIE! Whatdya think??

OK LISTEN UP.

You know Jason? Yeah, THAT Jason. The guy who sees your soul through a camera lens and somehow—somehow—makes you look like the absolute legend you were always meant to be? Yeah, him.

This man didn’t just “become” a photographer. No. He collected life experiences like Pokémon first—working in theatre, leading wilderness expeditions, mastering leadership, communication, and probably some Jedi mind tricks along the way. THEN he picked up a camera and was like, “Cool, let’s break reality for a second and show people what they actually look like when they step into their full power.”

He doesn’t just take headshots. No, no, no. That’s what amateurs do. Jason extracts your essence, polishes it up, and hands it back to you like, “Hey, you’re a big deal. Own it.”

He works with people who are right on the edge of something massive—business owners, leaders, creatives—people who are evolving and need to SHOW UP like the badass pioneers they are. And guess what? Most of them hate being in front of the camera. But Jason? He’s got this ridiculous ability to make you forget you’re even being photographed. One minute you’re sweating, the next you’re having a full-on existential realization about how dope you actually are.

And the best part? He doesn’t do this influencer BS. No fast-fashion, cookie-cutter, fake-confidence nonsense. He works with real people, creating real impact, so they can step onto the world stage with actual presence.

So yeah. Jason Malouin. The legend. The guy who turns self-doubt into self-actualization—through a damn camera lens. If you’re lucky enough to get in front of it, just prepare to meet yourself for the first time.

Now, who needs another drink?

THIS is what Authenticity looks like to me…

Of course we want to show the world the Front… our polished and curated side. It’s real and relevant and necessary.

But it’s the BACK that makes the FRONT possible. Without the Back, the Front can’t even exist… unless it’s fake.

We never used to show the Back, but these days our audience expects more. By showing the Back we are able to communicate the Context behind our Content.

Communicating the Front (only) without the Back is shallow and one dimensional.

The Back is the truly ‘human’ stuff… our mistakes, our learnings, our vulnerability.

THAT’S the stuff that transmits your message (and your brand) in glorious 3D.

I work with the people who embrace both.

This is a brilliant representation of ‘closed’ body language.

Crossing arms in a portrait is tricky.

You might be going for the ‘untouchable badass’ look which is fine if that’s what you want… but to me it’s a little too one-dimensional and limiting.

Crossing your arms can work in a portrait - and still come across as ‘positive’ - but it needs to be countered with other non verbal indicators that BALANCE the overall message to portray yourself as the nuanced human you really are.

I call that Communicating in 3D.

Just putting my instagram feed back together after they switched the format…. Everything in my feed was built on squares. But it’s starting to look good again.
