Our recent shoot for the lovely Sarah Ross, a UK milliner. https://portraitkitchen.co.uk/services/millinery-photography/

Anjee and I are running a free Zoom on Wednesday 19th August at 8pm UK time. The discussion is ‘How to purposefully market your millinery brand online.’We are doing this in conjunction with our friend Fab at Creative Impact. Fab helps small businesses raise their online profile. We will also be talking about how we built up The Portrait Kitchen to help milliners and sharing a few simple ideas about image presentation.The event is free and registration details are here https://fabgiovanetti.ck.page/millinery?fbclid=IwAR1WBt_vQMWFbAihJoVpz5JE2opVpJs8zRHHo7IaDSGcYuYfyTudzlr0ipQIt would be lovely if you could attend but if you can’t make it you should be able to get a copy of the recording if you register.Best wishesJonSee More

Anjee and I have been so fortunate to photograph some stunning hats and meet some wonderful milliners over the last few years.We are passionate about helping this community where we can by merging our skill set with the milliner.However these are challenging times with budgets dramatically squeezed and social distancing reducing our options in terms of model shoots.But in adversity creativity tends to kick in and we are a member of this millinery community so that means we bring ideas to help.We would like to announce something that we plan to launch very soon called 'Stand Up.'We will offer any milliner, anywhere in the world an option to have their hats (up to 5) shot on our headstands, beautifully lit and composed.These can be sent to us via courier.As a guide price we are thinking of £25 per hat excl return delivery costs. Each hat will be photographed at multiple angles. We will maintain our quality standards because that is what our reputation is based on and is not something we are prepared to compromise.This will hopefully enable milliners to have well lit and composed photographs so they can maintain their market presence.Best regardsJ&ASee More

We regularly get asked to do photographs from milliners who are not based near us in the UK.We wanted to see if there is a way we can deliver our photography to milliners wherever they are in the world.Well we have managed to crack it and have done shoots for the likes of Donna Hartley who is based in Spain.So how does it work?We have an initial discovery call over WhatsApp or whatever platform you prefer. This allows you to explain what you want to achieve.You get to chose from a selection of models that we are familiar with.We set a date.You arrange courier and pick up of hats.We look after your hats (we are a pet free, smoke free home and frankly Anjee treats them like they are her children!!)The day of the shoot arrives. You are linked in via video so you can view the hats but also ensure they are sat right.Through a secure web link as the photos are taken they are sent direct to your device wherever you are in the world, as long as you have wifi, 4G etc.Hats are picked up and returned to you via your courier.We edit the hat images so they are ready for you to use.We manage the whole event for you.If this is of interest to you just let us know. More details of what we do can be found by clicking here.Jon & Anjee.ps all the hats attached are by Donna Hartley. She was sat in Spain and dialed in for the shoot.See More
