Listen in to learn:
– The true goal of branding photography (and it’s not to look good!)
– How to choose a photographer who will make you feel safe
– Strategies to make sure you feel comfortable during personal branding photo shoots

Tune in and let’s help you shine in front of that lens!

Connect with Raj

In 2016, Raj was a Data Scientist at a hot Silicon Valley startup; with a comfortable 6-figure salary, status that came from success in a sexy field, and only a mild sense of mid-life dissatisfaction.

Then his partner, his then-wife of 8 years, came out as transgender.

Seeing his partner find joy in his true self forced Raj to ask the question, “What do I need to change in my life to feel true to myself?”

That journey led him to pursue his creative passion, and eventually, find a fulfilling life as an artist and photographer in NYC.

Today, as a personal branding photographer, he helps speakers and entrepreneurs convey their full, multifaceted, vibrant stories on camera.

He’s passionate about helping people feel safe to express themselves fully as human beings and to build a deep, genuine, lasting connection with their audience.
