Portrait Photography in London for Actors, Musicians and Creatives

A Deeper Story than a Headshot

While a headshot is traditionally a portrait, my gallery here features a wider range of photography that goes beyond the standard. In these portraits, the styling may be bolder, the posing more expressive, and the lighting more creative.

Photographers Expression

A portraits job is to really engage the viewer with a connection that means something beyond just an accurate representation of the person. Much like classic portrait paintings the aim is that the viewer learns something new about the subject, or that they see the subject from an opinion of the Photographer.

Hardcore Portrait photographers are less interested in what the client wants from an image, their brief is to show the world their vision of that person. This isn’t my approach, I still put my clients requests at the front of all of my photography, but taking portraits I’ll maybe add just a little more of my taste and personality into the shot.

Technical Experimentation

You'll also find a blend of environments and scenery, offering a creative and more personal feel the scene. Clients may also use slightly mroe adventurous ‘Wild Card’ Outfits that express their personality more than a traditional headshot top would.

Portrait shoots are ideal for Musicians, Entrepreneurs, Magicians and Influencers or Public Figures. As well as Actors wanting ,more looks in their portfolio.

These shots allow for greater artistic freedom, showcasing a range of approaches and styles that reflect both the personality and the unique vision of each subject and Myself. Often these images are taken towards the end of a headshot session when the client has really relaxed into the shoot
