When a client asks me, “What is personal branding?” I usually start here: it’s how people meet you before they meet you.

I met Issa at a point of change: Her work had shifted quite profoundly. Her photos hadn’t.

Some weddings announce themselves with fireworks. Others arrive quietly, like morning light slipping across a familiar room.

Su-May and Jack’s wedding took place in the function room of their condo in Singapore. She baked her own cake. His family flew in from Kent. It rained all day, softening the light and moving portraits indoors. The result: a calm, honest set of images that reflect the intimacy of the day—quiet, modern, and entirely theirs.

In a recent personal branding session, I had the privilege of working with JL, a talented miniatures artist. Through our collaboration, we captured the serene focus and craftsmanship that define her work, showcasing her artistry with warmth and authenticity. The images we created together tell the story of her dedication and passion—perfectly aligned with her brand’s essence.

Alice is the kind of woman who builds communities before breakfast. She’s the founder of GPW (Global Professional Women)—a network of over 1,200 women that’s grown in just eight months. She hosts networking events that bring together high-impact voices, empowers women in tech, and
