Jane Lindsey

elevate your brand through the imagery on your website

For many prospective clients, your website will be the first point of contact with your brand and really influences how people see your business. Your photography is instrumental in this and it's imperative that it creates the right impact and crucially, connects with your audience in the right way.

Getting it right at this level is about more than choosing the right props or simply having an extensive library of images to draw from.

It's about creating depth, interest and flow; building credibility and trust through cohesion and consistency and creating images that support your content. It means enchanting your visitor from the get go and leaving a lasting impression.

discover how to create evocative, immersive, sensory images

There's a real art to creating, commissioning and curating images that make an experience of your website. Whatever you do, lifestyle brand or not, drawing your visitors into the experience of your offering through your imagery is a must.

In this course we share a wealth of experience and show you how to create a stronger connection with your audience. One that captivates your clients, encourages them to explore everything you have to offer and creates that all-important impulse to buy.

"IT’S A REALLY IN-DEPTH, INSIGHTFUL AND STRATEGIC DEEP DIVE INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHY YOU USE TO PORTRAY YOURSELF ON YOUR WEBSITE.
RUN, DON’T WALK, PEOPLE..."

Andrew Timothy O'Brien

And that's exactly what we are going to do - with bells on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oh my goodness, most definitely! Whilst we won't be covering the technical aspects of taking photographs (see Cecelina's Illuminate course for that) you will gain so much from how we approach photography: putting a narrative, evocative and content-first priority at the heart of our work and showing you how to create images that move your business forwards.
Not especially. We covered styling pretty comprehensively in Compose and Captivate and how to bring more intention to your selection of props in Brand Vision, so we made the very deliberate choice not to repeat that here. You will, of course, pick up plenty of inspiration in the way we've styled the projects in our case studies, but there aren't specific lessons on styling in this class.
No. Thanks for asking. Your enrolment fee covers one user.
I share lots of content for free on my website and these online courses are priced fairly and more than reflect the value you'll gain from the class. If you'd like to discuss prices for multiple logins or even an affiliate programme if you have lots of clients who would benefit, then I'd be delighted to hear from you.
It's not, but that won't affect the gross price you pay for the course. Essentially, everyone pays the same price for the courses but that includes 20% VAT for businesses within the UK. If you're a long time member of the community based in Europe, you will probably remember that pre-Brexit, VAT was also included in your course investments. Since January 2020, when the UK left the EU we have not charged VAT on products and services in Europe. Either way, what you really need to know is that wherever you are based, the headline price of the course is as listed! Nothing is *added on* for tax.
Yes, absolutely. Invoices are automatically generated when you enrol in a course. You have the opportunity to add your company details on sign up or in your client dashboard.
No, thank you for checking. This course will teach you how to Art Direct your photographer: by which we mean how to plan the images you need for your website, create an exciting vision and build out a brief that allows your photographer to work their magic in the most commercial way possible.
Good question! Not really, is the answer. Our focus here is on how to create images that will bring the content on your website to life, rather than the structure or technical aspects of your website. That said, there is a good amount of insight on wireframing your site and also planning your images which we hope will enhance how you approach your next website design.
Online courses are, by their very nature, inherently, 'non-returnable' and as such, are non-refundable.
I have taught tens of thousands of students across the years and as you'll see from the course ratings and reviews, am renowned for creating high quality courses and learning experiences.
The course page and curriculum should make the scope of the course really clear but if you have any questions about the suitability of the class prior to signing up, please do email me and I'll be delighted to answer.
Like all offerings from The Brand Stylist, this is a high value, well-considered course that will have a huge impact on your business. I've priced it at a level that makes it accessible to as many entrepreneurs as possible and I'm confident you'll love it! Do take a look at the reviews to get an insight into the quality of my classes. You're going to have a ball!
Your investment includes lifetime access to this course, so you can work through it at a pace that suits you. Go nuts and binge on everything in a couple of days or take your time and reflect in between lessons. You have complete control over how you work through the class. And with lifetime access (given that you stick to the terms) you'll be able to revisit any of those lessons that resonate the most in the future.
Aaah thank you! We hear that a lot! Instalment plans are here to make the course a little more accessible to those of you who can't make the full investment in one go, but we do need to align the release of content with the payment schedule.
If you're someone who loves to binge-watch a course, you're better off going with the full payment option and getting access to everything from the start.
If it's a bit late for that, we can still help! If you email me, we can arrange for a bank transfer and I can manually give you access to the rest of the course.
Please bear in mind that if you're overseas, you will need to cover the cost of the international banking fees so this won't be the most cost effective option, but it's possible.

"I know will add immense value to anyone wanting to really leverage the power of their website."
