Individual Portraitsphotographed in London · from £150

Whether you need a headshot for LinkedIn, a full personal brand library for your business or simply a portrait that looks like the person you are now, we will make it together, calmly.

How I photograph individual portraits

Good portraits are mostly about trust. We start with a short conversation about where the images will be used and how you want to come across – approachable, authoritative, creative – then build lighting and locations around that.

Sessions take place in a West London studio, on location around the city, or in your own office or workspace. You see images on the back of the camera as we go, so there are no surprises later.

  1. Pre-shoot consultation

    A short call to agree the purpose, mood, outfits and locations for your session.

  2. Coaching, not posing

    Simple guidance on posture and expression that keeps you natural and confident.

  3. Live preview

    Check frames on the camera during the shoot and choose favourites together.

  4. Professional retouching

    Natural skin retouching that keeps texture – you still look like you, on a good day.

One to two for a headshot, up to three for a portrait session and as many as time allows on a personal brand shoot. Extra outfits can be added in the calculator.

Can I use the photos commercially?

Personal and social media use is included. Advertising and commercial licensing is included in the Personal Brand package and can be added to others.

Do you provide hair and make-up?

I work with an experienced London make-up artist who can be booked for your session as an add-on.

How quickly will I receive my images?
