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.

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!!

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.

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??
