That still small voice sometimes turns into a scream when we feel we are living in a supportive role in our lives (or even just a piece of it) instead of the star.

Branding Photography with Purpose follows award-winning photographer Wendy Gannon's transformative journey from the corporate world of recruitment to the vibrant realm of photography. Spurred by a LinkedIn comment during the pandemic, Wendy turned professional burnout and personal challenges into a catalyst for her newfound passion. Our conversation touches on her recent silver award win at the Best Business Women Awards and the unexpected growth of her business. Wendy passionately explains how personal branding photography is more than just taking pictures—it's about capturing the essence of a client's personality and business ethos. This episode is a testament to the power of following your passion and the profound impact it can have on professional and personal fulfillment. Step into Wendy's world, where networking isn't just a strategy but a cornerstone of building meaningful connections. We explore her insights on personal branding's evolution as a critical business strategy, particularly for women who are confident personally yet seek to express that confidence professionally. She tells us about her new project fighting for women to be their true selves in business, not what they are expected to be. Hear how her crowdfunding round was oversubscribed as she went across the country taking pictures of women for her Female 5 Million Project. Watch out for exhibitions and a coffee-table book in 2025. From the warmth of award events to the ingenuity behind crafting a comfortable atmosphere for clients during photo shoots, Wendy's story is both inspiring and instructive.
