3 ways to make your communication more impactful by UK TV presenter and Tedx speaker coach
Does the idea of public speaking or facing a camera make you want to curl up in a ball and hide?
Often, we have messages that we need people to hear, but we don’t have the confidence to communicate them effectively on a big stage or on social media channels.
As a UK professional brand portrait photographer & videographer based in Brighton & Hove, I truly believe visibility is most effective when communicate via multiple mediums.
I have helped many female entrepreneurs & small business owners across Sussex (and beyond) in their quest towards becoming more visible.Whether that be through commercial headshots or personal brand portrait photographs, I adore being behind the camera, helping my clients to express themselves visually.
I have observed that it takes a practice to get confident in front of camera and get our voices heard.
My wonderful client, Vanessa, Brighton based Tedx speaker and communication coach
My recent client, Vanessa, is a Sussex, Brighton & Hove based communication coach and ex TV presenter, who helps people to do exactly that.
Using her years of expertise as a Tedx Speaker Coach and former news anchor and reporter for international news organisations including BBC and ITV, Vanessa helps hundreds of other women who want to speak up and shine but are too fearful to do so.
Having battled with the fear of public speaking when she was younger, Vanessa remembers all too well how different anxieties and worries can manifest.
Sometimes, you might be too fearful to admit (even to yourself) that you want to speak on stage.
Or you’d love to be seen as the expert and have a message that you want to share - a message that could impact millions, but there’s a fear that is holding you back from being able to do so.
In the comfort of Vanessa home we captured brand portraits & headshots
Wanting to get some personal brand portraits that accurately represent and reflect Vanessa’s business, we embarked on a photoshoot in the comfort of her very own home in Brighton & Hove, Sussex.
Using a variety of props, including ring lights, microphones, mobile phones and laptops, we were able to utilize all the media props that Vanessa uses in her day to day life, as part of her job.
In the photographs, we captured: 1) behind the scenes, 2) showing her to be running 1:1 and group coaching sessions, 3) online training sessions on how to be confident in front of the camera, which reflected her conscientious and approachable nature.
Seeing Vanessa in her element was a true joy to witness!

Perhaps you need to speak in front of an audience at work, or have a message that is close to your heart - whatever it is, below tips will help you to be a clear communicator:
Be clear on who you are speaking to and who you want to attract. Don’t be vague, be specific!
People are moved into action not by logic, but by emotion. Connect with people emotionally.
