Professional Portrait Photographer in London
Portrait Collections
People connect with each other on an instinctive visual level so up-to-date portraits are essential for engaging with new and wider audiences. Whether that’s for social media profiles, corporate websites, or marketing campaigns, professional photography will allow customers to connect with your organisation’s culture on an individual, one to one level. Portraits for PR, advertising, stories, features, company websites, social media or printed material are all based on creating that connection between individuals. As an experienced London portrait photographer I approach each project individually to make sure every image reflects the character and essence of the people in your organisation.
Tailored Portrait Styles
As a reflection of the character of a brand, portraits can be created in either a formal style or as a more relaxed, lifestyle image. Either way, my collaborative approach aims to put people at ease and ensure the process is relaxed and enjoyable and the finished result exceeds expectations. Whether you're looking for corporate headshots, branding portraits, or lifestyle imagery, I adapt my style to suit your brand.
Putting Clients at Ease
I understand that many people feel nervous about having their picture taken, so I always take the time to chat and get to know a bit about my clients before and during each shoot. This helps to create a relaxed atmosphere and ensures the process is stress free and enjoyable.

What’s the difference between a Headshot and a Portrait?
There are no hard and fast rule that separates these genre styles, and in my experience people will often find a photographic style that suits their needs which can’t be neatly pigeon-holed into one or the other category.
As a rough guide however, Professional Headshots tend to be more tightly cropped images than Portraits, often showing only the head and shoulders. They’re more suitable for corporate and professional use, and are ideal for Company websites, Linkedin profiles and other professional networking platforms, especially where there is a need for consistency across staff or team photos.
Key characteristics of headshots:
Formal look with professional studio lighting to minimise shadows
Simple or plain backgrounds that don't distract from the subject
Used on Company websites and corporate directories
Perfect for Company Reports, Marketing materials, and Press releases
On the other hand, Portrait photography can be seen as a more creative process that better reflects a subject’s personality. It will often include an environmental context to tell a story, or provide other details that offer more information about a subject.
Portrait sessions can include:
Environmental settings that reflect a brand or specific interest
Full body or three-quarter length compositions and a more relaxed, natural pose
Creative use of lighting techniques
Use of props, or other elements that reveal detail about the subject
Personal styling that reflects specific characteristics
