Beauty with purpose.
Too strategic to be random. Too real to be corporate.
My name’s Vilian
I’ve always had an eye for the visual - the way light, color, and emotion tell a story. From painting and interior design to styled food boards (s/o Sweet & Salty), I’ve always had my hands in something creative. But photography? That’s the one that stuck, the one that lets me blend emotion, storytelling, and design into something people can actually feel.
I know, just call me Vee, lol.
True to my Libra Sun, I love making things
I’m a sucker for good aesthetics: symmetry, color, balance - all of it. But here’s the thing: pretty doesn’t always sell. Not everyone “buys” in the same way; there are feelers, thinkers, skeptics, and impulse buyers - and they all respond to different things. Good branding connects with all of them. And the only way to do that? By showing up as yourself.
AI and stock photos can’t capture that. They can’t replicate energy; the way you move, speak, laugh, or look mid-idea. People connect with people, not placeholders. And when your audience sees the real you, they see something to trust, something to relate to, and something they want to invest in.
pretty.
Now, I love me a good statistic. When all else fails, look at the numbers:
Websites featuring custom imagery can see up to a 45% higher conversion rate.
So yes, aesthetics matter, but connection converts. Your visuals should do more than decorate your brand; they should move it forward.
65% of people are more likely to remember a message paired with a unique, relevant image.
Brands using authentic, high-quality images see up to a 94% increase in engagement compared to stock visuals.
my least favorite thing about traditional branding photography is how devoid it is of personality.
Somewhere along the way, “branding” started to mean “corporate.” Hard pass.
Your brand isn’t a LinkedIn profile - it’s alive. It breathes, moves, and tells a story every time someone interacts with it. My job is to capture that story: the pulse, the atmosphere, the feeling behind what you do. When people feel your brand, they remember it. And that’s what turns curiosity into connection.
I’ll be honest
