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.”
