COMMERCIAL and BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Based in Ipswich, Suffolk, I offer commercial and branding photography for small businesses, creatives and independent brands across Suffolk and beyond.

Your brand is more than visuals — it’s the feeling people get when they interact with your business. It’s the details, the atmosphere and the intention behind what you do. The quiet moments that are often unnoticed, but deeply felt.

I work with brands who value connection, authenticity and thoughtful storytelling. Through relaxed, editorial-style branding photography, I help you show not just what you do, but who you are — capturing your business in a way that feels natural, elevated and true to you.

My approach is calm and considered. I’ll guide you where needed, step back when it matters, and create space for your brand to unfold organically. From personal branding portraits and lifestyle imagery to product details and behind-the-scenes moments, every image is created with care and intention.

Whether we’re photographing you in your workspace, styling a product shoot or capturing the flow of your day-to-day, my focus is always on telling your story in a way that feels honest and effortless — imagery that reflects your values and aligns seamlessly with your brand.

These are the images that build trust, strengthen your presence and help your audience connect with your business on a deeper level.

If you’re looking for branding photography that feels considered, timeless and aligned with your vision, I’d love to work together.

FAQs

Pricing for branding sessions varies depending on your business, your goals and the level of coverage you need. Once I understand more about your brand and what the session will involve, I can recommend the most suitable option for you. Sessions can range from shorter, focused mini sessions to half-day branding packages, with different hours and coverage available.
Commercial and branding shoots are ideal for small businesses, creatives and established brands looking to elevate their online presence. Whether you’re a sole trader, a growing business or an established brand, these sessions are designed to capture you, your work and your story in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your brand.
Branding photography sessions usually take place at your business premises, workspace, studio, or on location. I’m based in Suffolk and regularly work with businesses across Ipswich, Suffolk and surrounding areas — and I’m always happy to travel further afield where needed. Studio branding photography is also available at a slight extra charge.
You’ll receive a full gallery of edited images from your branding session, whether you’ve booked a shorter branding session or a more in-depth package. With branding photography, narrowing images down to a small number often doesn’t reflect the full story, so I always include the complete gallery for an all-inclusive price.
Yes — I do capture short video clips during branding sessions, filmed on my iPhone. These are ideal for behind-the-scenes content and social media use and will be sent to you directly. For more in-depth or polished video content, I’d recommend working with a dedicated videographer or content creator.

“We love love all our images Gemma did for the business! We asked Gemma to cover a celebration event & fresh business imagery. We couldn't be more pleased with the results, nothing was to much trouble. Gemma came with so many ideas for us- I didn't need to! We have had so many compliments on the images- and that they portray us, the team and the ethos so well! Thankyou! We will be sure to use Gemma again!”
