A personal branding journey
For the past 12 months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike Jones as part of my 12-Month Personal Branding Programme. Mike, who runs a photography business as a side line to his professional career, came to me initially wanting fresh, consistent imagery to keep his brand present and up to date across social media and marketing.
What neither of us expected was just how valuable this visual content would become.
As the year unfolded, and particularly when Mike found himself navigating redundancy and a competitive job market, the images we created together became more than a branding tool. They helped him stay visible, feel confident, and continue sharing who he is with the world at a time when clarity and self-belief mattered most.
Below, Mike shares (in his own words) what the experience meant to him and how personal branding photography supported his transition.
“Working with Helen Rowan Photography has been such a positive experience from start to finish. The shoots have always felt natural, relaxed, and completely true to who I am, both as a professional and as a person.”
What Mike said…
“Being part of Helen’s 12-Month Personal Branding Programme gave me the chance to work with her consistently over time, and that continuity made a huge difference. She took time to understand my story, my work, and what matters to me. That depth of understanding shows in every image.
Towards the end of the programme, I was made redundant from my permanent role and suddenly found myself navigating a very challenging job market. I never expected to use my photography brand in the way I did, but it became an outlet – a way to stay visible, keep creating, and continue sharing my story at a time when I really needed direction and confidence.
What started as a straightforward plan to refresh my photography brand soon became something much more meaningful.
Helen’s ability to put me at ease and capture genuine expression helped me rebuild confidence and reconnect with who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m incredibly grateful for Helen’s care, creativity, and encouragement throughout the process.
The images we’ve created together are more than just photos. They represent a turning point for me, helping me move forward with renewed belief, purpose, and pride in both my work and myself.”
