Portrait Photography
in London
Natural, expressive portraits in studio or on location for artists, professionals, and publications.
Portrait sessions designed to capture presence, personality, and authenticity.
With over a decade of experience photographing people around the world, I create a relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable and look your best whether in studio, on location, or for editorial use.
Studio Portraits & headshots
WHAT TO EXPECTClean, focused portraits and headshots created in a controlled environment.
Ideal for professionals, creatives, actors, models, and entrepreneurs who need polished portraits for websites, press features, casting profiles, or personal branding.
Before the session, we’ll have a short consultation to discuss how you plan to use the images, the look you want to achieve, and wardrobe options.
No modelling experience needed, I guide you throughout the process.
On-Location portraits
WHAT TO EXPECTNatural, expressive portraits created in your home, workplace, studio, or a meaningful outdoor location. These sessions capture personality and context, resulting in images that feel authentic and relaxed.
Ideal for creatives, professionals, academics, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants portraits that reflect who they are and what they do.
We’ll begin with a short consultation to discuss the purpose of the images, possible locations, and what to wear. I can suggest settings that photograph well and help you feel comfortable.
Editorial & Commissioned Portraits
Editorial commisionsEditorial portraits created for magazines, media outlets, authors, and organisations, developed in response to a brief.
Designed to support stories, interviews, and public-facing projects, these images combine strong visual impact with authenticity.
Ideal for magazine features, press releases, campaigns, book covers, and professional profiles.

The Photo Session

Sessions are scheduled with plenty of time to ensure a relaxed experience and avoid feeling rushed. I typically book only one session in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Studio sessions take place at my studio in Vauxhall, while location sessions can be arranged anywhere in London. For locations outside London, please get in touch before you book to discuss options.
