PROCESS - Hela Staniszewska | Personal Branding Photography Barcelona & Europe

From first conversation to final image.

Every session starts with a conversation. Not about poses, clothes or locations, about you, your business, what’s your goal, how you want to be seen. The rest follows from there.

Getting started

We confirm your session with a deposit and schedule the date. You'll receive a short questionnaire - to help you start collecting all the info about you and your business, brand, goals in one place, before we meet.

Let's Talk

We meet online We meet online and go through everything that matters in your business: what you do, who you serve, how you want to be seen, and where your images will live. From this conversation, I'll build your visual direction.

Visual Direction

I create a moodboard based on everything we discussed: tone, style, story. We align on the concept before anything else happens, so the session has a clear purpose from the start.

Styling & Prep

We define what's needed to bring the concept to life: wardrobe, hair, props, locations. I guide you step by step, so by the time we meet for the shoot, you know exactly what to expect.

The Photo Session

Whether it's 2 hours or a full day, the session follows the concept we built together. You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you through every moment, so you feel at ease and in charge the whole time.

Selection & Delivery

I do a first curation of the best shots. You select your favourites (or I can help in that too). Final images are professionally edited and delivered in high-res and web-ready versions, ready to use.

Helena is hands down the best photographer I have worked with in the recent years for business portraits - and the only one who managed to make me feel so comfortable during the photo session that I completely forgot about how much I hate having my photos taken! Not only the session itself, but the whole process of working with Helena has been a pleasure and the end result photos are great. I know next time I need new business photos she will be my first choice. Advantages Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value for money

Helena is a wonderful photographer. I'm a coach from Paris and had a session in August 2023 at home. She managed to capture my essence and also to convince me that pro photos are a great addition to a brand. I've known Helena for several years and appreciate that woman a lot. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. And do you and your brand a favor, just go for it!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Helena in the creation process of branding Grape Girl Media and Paris Wine Girl. Helena doesn't just take beautiful photographs, she studies the heart of your business to better understand it before the session. Then through her lens captures this essence of it. I've never worked with such a talented photographer and I've worked with a lot! I highly recommend Helena to other professionals and small businesses who are seeking to create or build upon their professional branding.

Eman

As my business was about to enter into a new and important phase, I knew I needed my face to be front and centre of my marketing presence online. It took a while to find the right photographer for me but as soon as I had my first preparation call with Helena I knew I had made the right decision. Not only was she determined to understand what my business was about but she was also open to getting creative with some of my shots which made me feel really excited for the shoot. On shoot day Helena brought such a relaxed but professional energy and put me at ease before I even knew it. The photos she produced made me view myself from an entirely new perspective, it was so powerful to see myself in this way; my true self was captured, the authentic essence of my character. It's difficult to see from your own view what you communicate to the world around you and these photos revealed that to me. They have been a huge asset to me personally and for my business too.

Two Offers. One Process.

The process is always the same: from the first conversation to the final images. What differs is the scope. Whether you’re building visibility, appearing in media or at conferences, leading workshops and keynotes, or connecting with your community online and offline, you need images that show who you are and what you stand for. Photos that make people stop, remember, trust, and say: „This is someone I want to work with.”

That’s what we’ll create together.
