Drum and Bounce: A brand and portrait photography shoot in Birmingham with the amazing Emma
Hello friends. I'm really excited to take you behind the scenes of a recent personal branding and portrait photography shoot with the inspiring human that is Emma from Drum and Bounce. Drum and Bounce is a fantastic wellbeing brand that delivers drum & bass aerobics and trauma-informed yoga experiences.
Emma is all about uplifting vibes, inclusivity, and promoting connection to self through music and movement. Emma is inspirational. From teaching trauma informed yoga in prisons to bringing music to the world through her DJing, she keeps herself super busy with lots of amazing work. I loved co-creating with Emma to create branding and portrait photography visuals that represent the different strands of the amazing work she does.
Crafting a branding story in and around Birmingham
Emma wanted to create visuals that truly showcased her energy. We explored the keywords that represented her various brands and the elements of her work. Drum and Bounce is high energy and playful, while some of the trauma informed yoga work Emma does is grounded and rooted in slowing down. Emma also DJs so we also wanted to capture some of that creativity as part of this Drum and Bounce branding and portrait photo shoot
Portrait and branding photography locations in Birmingham
We decided on two different locations for Emma’s portrait and branding photography. Moseley Bog was somewhere Emma has spent a lot of time with her yoga mat. She takes herself there when she wants to focus on her own yoga practice and connection with nature. This calm and serene environment was a beautiful backdrop for the more grounded headshots and portraits Emma wanted to capture.
We then moved on to the streets of Digbeth, where the vibrant street art and canals were the perfect colourful backdrop to showcase a more high energy and colourful vibe. Part 3 of Drum and Bounce’s brand and portrait photography shoot is to follow and I’ll be documenting Emma leading some high energy sessions. I can’t wait
Authentic portraits and headshots in Birmingham
I wanted to highlight Emma’s amazing energy, so we focused on capturing genuine portraits and headshots that showcased her personality and warmth. From her DJing as Sister Smalls, to her passion for drum & bass aerobics sessions, each photo captured the authenticity and positive energy that defines Emma and the work she does.
Portrait and branding photography that brings your brand to life
A vibrant use of colour, playful poses, and energetic movement captured Emma’s essence. Emma now has a cohesive collection of images that she can use to shout about Drum and Bounce and the amazing work she does. I’m excited to photograph her again soon.
