A Strategic Approach to Branding Photography

This is not just a photoshoot — it’s a collaborative branding experience.

Before we shoot, we define:

  • Your brand identity and positioning

  • Your target audience

  • The message you want to communicate

  • Where the images will be used (website, social media, press, marketing)

Every image is created with purpose, ensuring consistency across all platforms.

WhoThis Is For

My branding photography is ideal for:

  • Entrepreneurs & Founders

  • Creative Professionals (designers, artists, consultants)

  • Doctors, Surgeons & Medical Professionals

  • Aesthetic Clinics, Beauty Doctors & Dentists

  • Wellness Professionals (therapists, coaches, estheticians)

  • Boutiques & Personal Brands

If your work is built on trust, credibility, and human connection, strong imagery is essential.

Styling & Art Direction Included

With my background in fashion and art direction, I guide you through:

  • Wardrobe selection

  • Styling suggestions

  • Personal shopping day

  • Posing and expression

  • Visual consistency with your brand

You don’t need to know how to pose — I take care of everything.

What I Create For You

Depending on your needs, your branding session may include:

  • Professional portraits (editorial & natural)

  • Environmental portraits in your workspace

  • Lifestyle imagery

  • Detail shots that tell your story

  • Interior photography (offices, studios, clinics, boutiques)

  • Team, staff portraits and Video

Perfect for websites, social media, press kits, and personal marketing.

What to Expect

Your session with Valentina begins long before you step in front of the camera. She starts with an in-depth conversation about your vision—who you want to reach, how you want to be seen, what story you're ready to tell. From there, she creates a custom mood board that becomes your creative roadmap, guiding everything from wardrobe to setting to the smallest prop details.

If you want, Valentina will shop with you. Her eye for style is impeccable—she knows how to dress you in a way that feels authentically you, but elevated. You'll look like the best-dressed version of yourself you've ever been.

On set, her process is meticulous. Valentina's signature is her lighting technique: she illuminates your eyes so they reflect light back to the camera, creating a depth and presence that's impossible to ignore. You'll review shots in real-time on a monitor, so you can see exactly what's working and feel confident in what you're creating together.

Her approach is pure Hollywood sophistication meets Italian elegance—high fashion with an edge of street cool. And the thick Italian accent? It's just part of the charm.

The result: editorial-quality portraits that don't just capture how you look—they capture who you are. Images that are ready for the cover of Vogue, your book jacket, or wherever you need to show up as your most powerful self.

If you've had professional photos taken before, this will redefine what you thought was possible. Valentina doesn't just take your picture. She reveals you.

Sincerely,

Patrick Combs

Why Work With Me

 • Internationally published photographer – 20+ years shooting editorial, fashion, and commercial work that actually gets seen

• Hollywood meets Italy – I bring European elegance and LA edge to every frame

  Based in Los Angeles, available worldwide – I'll travel to you, or you come to my studio where the magic happens

• I shoot everything – Corporate headshots that don't look corporate. Fashion editorials at the level of GQ or Vogue. Interiors that feel like they belong in Architectural

Digest. Product campaigns. And portraits that reveal character, gravitas, vulnerability, power—not just pretty pictures.

• Obsessive about the details – Lighting, styling, composition—I don't do "good enough"

• Collaborative, never bossy – This is your vision. I'm here to make it better than you imagined.

I don't just take photos. I create images that stop people mid-scroll, land you the client, or make you finally see yourself the way others do.
