Beyond Headshots: Chris Hornby on Brand Photography with Personality | Hot Stories Cambridge

At Hot Stories Cambridge, we celebrate the people behind the business—and this time, we turned the lens around to hear from the man who’s usually behind it. 📸 Chris Hornby, long-time photographer (and recovering mortgage advisor), shared his passion for brand photography and helping local businesses show up with confidence and authenticity.

“I’m here to help you tell your story with imagery that reflects you—your personality, your space, your daily rhythm.”

🧑‍💼 From Mortgages to Moments

After 25 years in finance, Chris now works full-time as a commercial photographer, focusing on personal brand shoots for small businesses that want to:

• Stand out online

• Look professional and approachable

• Build trust with warm, real, on-brand visuals

🖼️ What Chris Offers:

• Brand storytelling photography
  ➤ You in action, with clients, behind the scenes

• Natural & professional headshots
  ➤ Dapper or down-to-earth—you decide

• Image banks for websites, social media, and campaigns
  ➤ Ready-to-go content that reflects your real business

• Still loves wildlife photography (but says he’s happy shooting humans too)

“Still love sitting in a ditch waiting for a badger... but in the meantime, I’ll do you lot.”
