Meet your Photographer:
Vanda Szabo
I’m Vanda — an award-winning branding and event photographer who helps people who hate having their photos taken feel confident, relaxed, and truly seen.
My path hasn’t been linear: I moved to the UK from Hungary 15 years ago, worked as a beauty and massage therapist in London’s 5★ hotels, retrained as a surgical dental nurse after burnout, and later became a practice manager on Harley Street.
After becoming a mother without family support nearby — and losing my role at the end of maternity leave — I reinvented myself again. We moved to Worcester, where I knew no one, and I built a successful branding and event photography business I run today. Many of my clients are also navigating big changes: redundancy, burnout, returning to work, or starting something new.
I created this guide because I know how vulnerable it feels to be seen during times of transition. This guide gives simple, practical tips for creating a strong, natural-looking professional photo — whether you’re job-hunting, changing careers, or stepping into your next chapter.
