I’m based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire (which is a 25-minute direct train journey from Kings Cross or Finsbury Park on National Rail) although I love to travel and will shoot pretty much anywhere as long as travel expenses are covered and the necessary licenses/visas/paperwork is arranged!

I love to travel! I’m based 25 minutes outside Kings Cross in Hertfordshire and regularly travel into London, but the sky is the limit!  I have a UK passport and can travel and work anywhere, providing the necessary paperwork and visas are organised. Taxi, take me to the airport please!

(Travel expenses will apply)

Most of my clients prefer to book their personal branding and editorial photoshoots on location, so with this in mind I do not have a studio. So, instead, I offer my Little Black Book of beautiful location recommendations to help you source the perfect setting for your moment in the spotlight!

Me, Tigz Rice! Whenever you book a shoot through Branding By Tigz, know that you will always get me. I will never send a replacement (unless, of course, your shoot is date specific and it’s written into our contract).

Looking for someone to take the pressure off you completely? I can also offer full shoot production services, where I will use my Little Black Book of industry contacts to help you secure everything from a location and models to the full creative styling team. If this sounds like exactly what you need, get in touch via the contact page as we can discuss your requirements.

Absolutely! Since launching in 2009, it has been my mission to make the studio as inclusive a space as possible for clients. Whichever pronouns you prefer, if you’d like to be shot in my fierce, vintage femme fatale inspired style, my doors are wide open and I’d love to hear from you.

Of course! Since 2009 it has been my mission to make all of my personal branding photography packages as inclusive and accessible an experience as possible for my clients, which is also why we offer to travel to you.* I can tailor poses to your comfort and energy levels and can offer suggestions for poses that require fewer spoons. If you have any condition/s that you feel may impact your shoot experience, please mention this when booking so I can do everything I can to support you and make this a positive experience. *Travel costs may apply, please get in touch for more details.

For personal branding shoots, you are very welcome to bring a personal cheerleader with you on the day. Personal cheerleaders must be over 18 and we request that they are not someone you are romantically involved with to keep the energy in the room 100% focused on you. The only time we cannot accommodate chaperones is on brand shoot days because there would be too many humans in the room!

Of course, whether it’s your first time in front of a camera or you’re a seasoned pro, I can’t wait to photograph you!

The best thing I can recommend is to check out my Instagram and delve into my portfolio…

• Do you see your age/size/ethnicity/shape/gender represented in my images? (if not, please let me know!)
• Does my style of photography connect with you?
• How do you feel about my retouching – do you like my natural editorial style, or do you prefer a highly airbrushed finish?
• Do you resonate with my content and captions?
• What are my clients saying about their branding shoot experience?

If you responded positively to these points, reach out and connect with me – you could always ask for a 1-2-1 call if you’re still not 100% sure.

In my opinion, there’s nothing better than a full pamper session, which is why I offer a list of recommended professional hair and makeup stylists to all of my clients. My recommended stylists all use cruelty-free (and vegan where possible) styling kits and can work to your skin’s individual care needs, as well as discussing any allergies you may have. That said, some clients prefer to visit their own tried and trusted stylists beforehand, or you might feel confident doing your own. Whichever of these options is right for you, please make sure to treat yourself to a good pamper session before your moment in the spotlight. You deserve to feel amazing.

Of course, if you’re comfortable doing your own hair and makeup to a professional standard, please mention this at time of booking.

If you plan on bringing a wig, hairpieces or extensions to your shoot, please let me know at the time of booking so that we can discuss your requirements with your chosen stylist. Installing and/or styling additional hair may require extra time with the stylist, which could result in an additional fee needing to be charged. This will be discussed with you before you commit to any booking.

Your body, your rules baby! Whether you’re rocking a full bush or hairless from the nose down, you are welcome in front of my camera.

Please do NOT get a spray tan! Whilst it may be tempting to add a little faux sun-kissed glow to your skin before your personal branding shoot, more often than not it will appear streaky, patchy or orange/green (yes, green) on camera. Since fixing fake tan is not something I retouch – and you’ll also need to sign a form that says you are personally responsible for covering the cleaning costs of any fittings and fixtures stained with fake tan during your session – I personally recommend ditching the fake tan – and sunbeds too whilst we’re on the subject – and rocking bare skin, or maybe treating yourself some shimmer body lotion for a dewy glow and a touch of contouring.

One of the main reasons people come to me for luxury personal branding photography is my signature style of editorial photography. Drawing on my many years of expertise as a photographer, I want you to look and feel like you on your very best day; because let’s be honest, no one else does a better job of being you than you! No over-edited skin or photoshop surgery goes on over here, we’ll focus on getting it right in camera, with comfortable clothing that suits your figure and perfect posing to accentuate your best bits, combined with flawless lighting skills and lots of attention to detail. I’ll crop, straighten and adjust the exposure and colour balance of your images in Lightroom as necessary, including removing any small, non-permanent blemishes or marks. When you look at the final images, you’ll feel amazing knowing that’s really YOU in that photo. 

Yes! If you feel you’d like a handful of your personal branding images to experience a little extra Photoshop magic, then this can be arranged for a fee. Please enquire about my current retouching rates.

Please note that I have some limitations on what I will retouch. I will not retouch: fake tan and tan lines, holes in fishnet tights, ill-fitting clothing and/or creases, grown out nail extensions, hair roots, body hair, the soles of shoes, excessive bruising or tattoo removal. I also do not offer body re-shaping. 

Can I put my final images on my website? Yes of course! Please include a credit line for Tigz Rice or https://brandingbytigz.com where possible.

Can I put my images on my social media? Yes of course! Please do not put any filters over the images and make sure to include a credit line for the first usage on each platform – you can find me on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.

Can I use the images for newspaper and magazine articles? Yes! Please ask the publication to include a credit line for Tigz Rice wherever possible

Can I use the images for Events and Posters? Yes, please make sure all media usage by the event includes a credit line for Tigz Rice where possible.

Can I use the images for my Patreon/Only Fans? Yes of course! Please include a credit line linking to https://brandingbytigz.com.

Can I use my personal branding images in my upcoming book or e-book? This is not included as standard in any contracts, but I’m always open to licensing images for published books and e-books. Please contact me with details of your publication (including a number of editions, size of the print run, and the proposed size and placement of the image) and I will get back to you with a fee.

Can I sell the images? No. Copyright remains with Tigz Rice. Please do not sell prints, create calendars or sell usage rights to any third parties.

If, for any reason, you decide to cancel with at least 29 days notice, your booking fee shall be forfeited. If for any reason you decide to cancel within 28 days of the shoot date, 50% of the total fee will be due as compensation for loss of earnings. If for any reason you decide to cancel the booking within 14 days of the shoot date, 100% of the total fee will be due as compensation for loss of earnings. If you need to re-schedule for any reason, these cancellation conditions will apply.

It is always worth asking! Depending on the time of the year, I can sometimes squeeze in an extra last minute project. Pop me an email via the contact page or give me a call and I will see what I can do for you.

Every client has a completely unique set of requirements for their shoot, from concept to retouching requirements and usage rights. This is why all of my commercial shoots are based on a bespoke pricing structure. If you’d like to discuss your ideas and get a quote, pop me an email via the contact page.

For Editorial Shoots? Yes! After your shoot, you’ll receive access to your very own private, password-protected gallery, which will include proof images of the best shots from your brand  photoshoot, from which you’ll be able to choose your favourite images to be edited in my signature style and sent to you in high resolution via your very own private online gallery. You will have 28 days to make your selection!

I always try to get as much as I can spot on in-camera, so when it comes to retouching we can keep the Photoshopping as minimal as possible. Poses will be chosen to accentuate both your product and the model, and I’ll use a range of tools throughout the shoot to make sure all images are white-balanced and colour-corrected to provide accurate images for your online customers.

After you’ve chosen your favourite images, they’ll be put through my signature style of high-end retouching, which includes exposure correction, cropping, straightening, noise reduction, sharpening, a touch of skin retouching and garment tweaking where required. And, if there’s anything else you’d like to request, as an Adobe Influencer and Photoshop expert, I’ll absolutely do my best to accommodate!

A non-exhaustive list of things I will NOT retouch currently includes; fake tan and tan lines, holes in fishnet tights, ill-fitting lingerie, grown out nail extensions, hair roots, body hair, the soles of shoes, excessive bruising and tattoo removal. I will also not permit any extensive body re-shaping.

All bodies are beautiful and therefore I stay away from any extensive re-shaping. Pulling out an elastic indentation from lingerie is no issue – perhaps I might add a little more volume to hair – but anything more than that would make me uncomfortable. Let’s embrace our perfect imperfections!

If, for any reason, you decide to cancel with at least 29 days notice, your booking fee shall be forfeited. If for any reason you decide to cancel within 28 days of the shoot date, 50% of the total fee will be due as compensation for loss of earnings. If for any reason you decide to cancel the booking within 14 days of the shoot date, 100% of the total fee will be due as compensation for loss of earnings. If you need to re-schedule for any reason, these cancellation conditions will apply.

Honestly, it very rare that I say yes to TF or collaborative work these days unless you’re offering me the opportunity to shoot something EPIC. For example, if you’re offering me the chance to shoot with Dita Von Teese, guaranteed publication, or granting me access to a location that would otherwise be impossible to shoot in. If you think you’ve got something that falls into the EPIC category though, please feel free to ask. Here’s a blog post I wrote all about how to approach me for a collaboration.

Every so often I do need an assistant for a larger shoot. If you would like to register your interest, please pop me an email via the contact page with a covering letter and a CV with references.

No. However, I do offer one to one training and mentorship if you are looking to get a jump start in the world of branding photography. Pop me an email via the contact page with more details and I can send you my training and mentor packages.
