The ICON Experience

Stage and Brand Photos for the Iconic Speaker

Stay Tuned For The Next Event Location!

You’ve created a keynote speech that will change lives.

It took months of hard, powerful, transformative, soul-baring work! And now that speech is ready to be shared with the world.

But how do you get the speaking gigs of your dreams? How do you showcase your professionalism, presence and personality to event organizers who’ll hire you?

Introducing…The ICON Experience.

The Icon Experience was specifically designed for the iconic speaker to get exactly the photos you need to launch or upgrade your speaker brand.

Who it’s for

This experience is ideal for:

  • Brand-new professional speakers launching your high-end brand: You’ll get to explore what your visual brand is, and get exactly the photos you need to wow event planners

  • Experienced professional speakers who are releasing a new speech: You’ll get to refresh your brand, and we’ll create the perfect photos to showcase this new speaking experience you’ve created.

If you’re a new speaker, you might be faced with a conundrum. You need on-stage photos to get speaking gigs. But you need speaking gigs to get on-stage photos! The ICON Experience helps with this.

Even if you’re an experienced speaker, you don’t always have the photos showcasing your best. The lighting may not be flattering, the photographer is just trying to do a job without really knowing anything about you. You’re simply at the mercy of circumstances. The ICON Experience helps with this.

How it Works

Creating your brand can feel overwhelming. Being in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking. But there’s one thing I want you to remember.

You’ve already done the hardest part of the work.

Your speech has all the elements of a powerful brand: core message, stories, emotional contrast, personality, humor, signature bits, visuals, props. All you need is someone to help you translate those elements into powerful images.

My process is designed to guide you to accomplish that.

See the process below!

Thoughtful, intentional planning process:

Using a combination of asynchronous work and group master-classes, we’ll plan every detail of your shoot in advance: emotions, actions, outfits, props.

(If you’ve been an HPS student, this will feel very familiar).

Individual Photo Shoot:

A 90-minute 1-1 photo session that captures your essence as a speaker and represents your brand. We'll showcase YOU in a variety of images that we know event organizers are looking for: formal and candid headshots, lifestyle and action photos.

‘Stage’ shots in a group:

Photos of you speaking in front of an ‘audience’ i.e. your fellow group members. Unlike shots at real events, we won’t leave things to chance. We will plan and capture your best stage moments and angles. If you have a signature bit, we’ll get that too!

At the end of this experience, you’ll walk away with 25+ fully edited, high-resolution photos intentionally created to wow event organizers, and showcase why YOU are the perfect speaker for them. On the way, you’ll also work with a cohort of fellow speakers, cheering them on each step of the way.

The Investment

My PRO (1-1) Experiences with clients are 4 hours long, booked months in advance and cost $5,000. And that doesn’t even include your travel and stay! While those photo sessions provide a deep, powerful, transformative experience for my clients, that also might be more than what you need right now.

Instead, I’m offering my ICON Experience: tailor-made specifically for speakers to get exactly what they need to launch their latest speech, expand their reach, and book more soul-aligned gigs.

You get my photography expertise, my process designed to translate your speech to images, and my knowledge of the speaking industry, for only $2,000.

Hey! I’m Raj

I’m Raj, a personal branding photographer and trained speaker. I’ve worked with many professional speakers to help them bring their inner spark and powerful message to life, through photos they can joyfully share on their website, speaker materials and social media.

I curated this experience for iconic speakers, current and future (yes, that’s you!). which occurs at different locations throughout the year to help them launch or upgrade their speaker brand.

What People Are Saying About My Work!

  • Meghna Majmudar

    “ The process made me come back to myself. I operate in a way where I lose myself to my work and the people I’m working with. Going through the process itself changed what I was looking for, because there’s a lot of digestion that happens during the process.”

  • Marcia Dawood

    “I’ve done vision boards before for future plans, but I had never done something like this for myself or my brand. The exercise made me think about things I would never have otherwise.”

  • Kat O'Sullivan

    My personality, my style – it has to be authentic because I want to attract like-minded people who value who I am and how I go about what I do. It’s very personal and vulnerable. That’s a keyword: vulnerable. You can hide in a business. You cannot hide in a personal brand. Focusing on my personal brand has helped me really show up

  • Jackie Jackson

    “I would say really anybody should do this if they want to have an experience of learning a lot more about themselves and how beautiful they are, just as they are.”
