In a world inundated with stock photos and artificial generated images, authenticity has become the new currency of trust. Customers crave realness – they want to see the faces, the stories, and the heart behind the businesses they support. And that’s where authentic photography shines. It goes beyond mere visuals; it captures the soul of a business, conveying its personality, values, and unique identity in a way that resonates with audiences on a visceral level.

Throughout this blog, we’ll explore the various reasons why authentic photography is paramount for businesses looking to thrive in today’s competitive landscape. From building trust and credibility to evoking emotions and fostering engagement, we’ll uncover the undeniable impact that authentic imagery can have on shaping perceptions, driving conversions, and ultimately, cultivating long-lasting relationships with customers.

Sally Shares Her Experience With You - Aberdeenshire Photography Session /  by Leticia Gaidon Bradford

I was fortunate to meet Sally during the course of Women in Business, which is a successful program funded by Aberdeenshire Council through the Scottish Government PESF (Parental Employability Support Fund). Immediately, I loved her style and admired her professionalism without losing the human touch.

Secretly, I was wishing to portrait her because she represents the type of person that I hold in high esteem and represent my brand: Amazing Wise Women. Therefore, I was thrilled when she expressed her desire to be photographed by me. But, I stop here. It is better that Sally tells you her experience. Click to know about it.

Auchintoul a Gem in Aboyne /  by Leticia Gaidon Bradford

One of my fondest memories are the months that our family spent in Aboyne. This village founded by Charles Gordon in 1671 has everything that I look for, a lot of greenery, mountains, and walks.

The weather was good during those months and when it was not, I did not bother so much. I was not looking for sunny days, as we were just back in Scotland after some years in the Tropic. On the contrary, a cloudy sky was very welcome as it provided me of some moody pictures.   

We choose to stay in a place called Auchintoul; a summer house that originally belong to the parents of the famous photographer and naturalist, Seton Gordon. This large chalet enclosed by an extensive mature garden was perfect for our isolation time during the pandemic.

The master mind behind the design of this house was the Aberdonian architect George Bennet Mitchell. I was impressed for the smart orientation of this home, the photographic eye to frame the scenery surround and its solid construction. Most of the modern houses fail in one of these three factors, if not in all of them.

We arrived at the end of the winter season and move toward warmer days. You will see how the vegetation and the light changed through the images. I tried to capture the feeling of each season and our experience in this marvellous place.

I invite you to scroll down and see more images of this holiday rental house, and I hope you can feel the atmosphere of being there.
