Spring & Summer Personal Branding Photoshoots: Finding the Perfect Outdoor Location in London.
As a London personal branding photographer, one of the most common questions I get asked by my clients is: “Where will we shoot?” And I totally get it — when you're a busy entrepreneur or small business owner, the thought of finding the perfect location for your outdoor branding shoot can feel overwhelming.
But the good news is you don’t have to figure it out alone. In fact, one of the many powerful parts of the experience I offer is personalised location scouting. I carefully consider your shoot location with the intention to reflect your unique brand personality, attract your ideal audience, and make you feel confident in front of the camera.
Whether you're looking for pretty spring blossoms, natural light brand photography, urban city energy, or colourful London streets — whatever vibe you’re after, I’ll help you find one of the best photoshoot locations in London that feels just right.
So let’s talk about how it all works, and why your location matters so much.
Why Location Matters for Your Personal Branding Photos.
When it comes to personal branding photography, your location is a key part of the message your images portray.
The right setting can say a lot about you. Are you bold and creative? Calm and thoughtful? Polished and professional? Playful and approachable? The space we shoot in is part of the story the photo tells, helping you show up as yourself, in the most authentic and visually engaging way.
London offers a variety of outdoor branding shoot locations for every style — especially in spring and summer. From scenic parks and pastel-coloured mews to sleek modern architecture and vibrant markets, the possibilities are endless. The key is choosing a location that aligns with your personality, goals, and visual identity.
If you’re looking for summer branding shoot inspiration, there are so many instagrammable places in London for photos, and I help you narrow down the right one based on your brand.
What My Clients Often Worry About.
If you’ve been thinking about booking a personal brand shoot, but something’s holding you back, you’re not alone. Here are some of the most common concerns I hear:
“I don’t know where to shoot.”
“I’m worried the photos won’t feel like me.”
“I don’t have time to plan.”
“I feel awkward being photographed in public.”
“What if the weather ruins it?”
Want to know the good news? I’ve built my process to solve every single one of those concerns. So you can show up, feel supported, and walk away with photos you truly love.
How I Choose the Perfect Outdoor London Location for You.
Here’s what makes the experience different when you work with me:
1. We Start With Your Brand.
Through a Creative Brief questionnaire, I get to know you, your business, your audience, and the vibe your images need to communicate. Whether you're a business coach, a yoga instructor, or a creative entrepreneur, your shoot location needs to work for your brand — not just look pretty.
That’s why I approach each session like a tailored seasonal brand photography experience.
2. I Scout Tailored Locations Across London.
Using your brand personality as a guide, I scout location options in different parts of London — from calm green spaces & bloom-filled gardens (great for personal branding shoots in nature) to trendy Shoreditch streets, pastel townhouses, industrial walls, or professional cityscapes. I look out for what’s photogenic, what flowers are in bloom, and what areas are less crowded. Most importantly, I focus on unique branding shoot locations in London that are not only beautiful but also align with your message.
3. I Plan Around Light, Privacy & Convenience.
As someone who specialises in natural light brand photography, I also make sure to choose shoot locations based on where we’ll get flattering, soft light. I also think about privacy — especially if you’re nervous about being photographed in public — and how easy it is for you to reach the location.
These are the subtle details that turn a shoot from stressful to seamless.
4. Backup Plans Are Built In.
British weather, right? I always aim to select locations with sheltered areas nearby in case of a drizzle, and if it's truly pouring down, we can reschedule with ease — no panic needed as I offer a flexible reschedule policy.
5. One Location, Multiple Looks.
Many of my favourite outdoor headshot London spots offer multiple “mini sets” within walking distance — so you get a great mix of looks in one session. Whether you’re after soft florals, colourful walls, benches, modern architecture, or charming shopfronts, I’ll help you get the most from our time together.
Client Spotlight: Michele’s Spring Shoot in Enfield.
Michele is a small business owner who provides reliable distribution & market research for local authorities and organisations in Haringey and Enfield. She came to me wanting images that felt professional, trustworthy, and approachable — just like her brand.
She wasn’t sure where to take branding photos in London, but she loved my idea of green spaces and pretty residential streets that reflect community and trust, and would reference the distribution aspect of her business.
I recommended a quiet mews in Enfield that offered London summer brand photos with soft pastel tones, blooming rhododendrons, and stylish streets. It was one of those location ideas for a personal brand shoot that just worked.
We shot two looks — casual chic and smart-professional — and made the most of the space in just one hour.
“I was quite nervous but felt relaxed within minutes. Lisa has an exceptional eye for detail and managed to capture exactly what we discussed in our brief and beyond. I couldn't be happier with the results!” – Michele
