Based in Hampstead. Working Across London.
Based in Belsize Park and working across Hampstead, NW3 and North London, I specialise in professional headshots, business portraits and personal portrait commissions for individuals and organisations who want images that genuinely do them justice. While North London is my home territory, I work with clients across London and beyond when the brief calls for it.
Every portrait has a purpose.
A headshot for LinkedIn needs to work differently from a portrait for your office wall, a photograph for a book cover, an image for your website or a poster for your film.
Before we shoot anything, I take the time to understand exactly what your photographs need to achieve - and build the session around that. It's a consulting instinct as much as a photographic one
What makes a shoot with me different?
Most London portrait photographers will produce perfectly good photographs.
But I'm interested in something more.
Iām passionate about achieving the image that captures who you genuinely are, works perfectly for its intended purpose, and that you're still proud of years from now.
That comes from my architect's training at the Architectural Association, my management consultant's instinct for understanding what a client actually needs, and hundreds of portrait sessions across a wide range of subjects and contexts.
My work has been published internationally and I bring that same standard of attention to every commission, whether it's a single headshot or a full personal portrait session
Who I work with.
My portrait and headshot clients in Hampstead and across North London include professionals, executives, consultants, authors, performers and business owners - anyone who needs photographs that work as hard as they do.
I also shoot personal portrait commissions: individuals who want a portrait worth keeping, couples, families and anyone who's simply been putting off having a photograph they're genuinely proud of.
The experience
Clients consistently tell me that the shoot itself is as enjoyable as the results. That's deliberate. A relaxed, collaborative session in my Belsize Park studio - or on location across London - produces better photographs than a tense or rushed one.
Throughout the shoot I'll show you images as we go.
You'll always know where we are and what we're getting. You'll never walk away hoping for the best.
The guarantee
If you're not completely delighted with your photographs, you keep none of them and I keep none of your money.
No questions asked.
