London Corporate Headshot Photographer

Polished portraits. Real personality. Consistent across the team.


A corporate headshot is doing more work than it used to — the first thing a prospect sees before a sales call, the image a journalist runs when quoting you, the photo on every speaker page, LinkedIn profile and About section. It needs to look professional without looking generic, and to look like you on a good day, not someone wearing your face.


For a team, there's a second layer: every headshot has to feel like part of the same set — consistent light, framing and register, so the photos sit together on your site and no one is quietly wondering why their portrait looks different from everyone else's. I handle both sides: portraits that flatter each person without overworking them, shot to hold up across the whole team — whether that's a small leadership team or fifty colleagues in a single afternoon at your office.


What's Included

  • Pre-shoot brief to agree style, background, framing and end-use
  • Direction throughout — for people who don't normally enjoy being photographed
  • Consistent lighting setup across team and group bookings
  • Shot wide enough to crop as you need — half-body, head-and-shoulders or head-only — all from the same high-resolution file
  • Multiple background options (white, grey, dark, environmental)
  • 1–2 final images per person, fully retouched to a clean, natural standard
  • High-resolution files delivered through a private online gallery


How We Work Together

Before the shoot

I'll ask a small number of useful questions: what the images are for, how your existing team headshots look (if there are any), what the brand tone is, and what the people being photographed are most worried about. For team bookings, I'll send through a short prep note your colleagues can read in two minutes — what to wear, what to avoid, what to expect on the day. It removes most of the nerves before anyone steps in front of the camera.


On the day

I work fast but never rushed. Most people are in and out in ten to fifteen minutes for a standard corporate headshot; senior leaders and anyone needing more variety for press or PR use get longer. My job in those minutes is to direct, encourage, and make sure no one leaves with the picture they were dreading. Selection usually happens on the spot. Straight after each person's turn in front of the camera, we review their shots together and choose their frame there and then — no preview gallery to wait for, no chasing colleagues to make a pick.


After the day

I retouch the chosen images and deliver a matched set through a private gallery within a few working days. Retouching is calibrated to be clean rather than cosmetic: skin texture preserved, stray hairs and obvious distractions removed, nothing that makes the person look like a different person.


Technical Standards & Professional Practice

Headshots are a quieter brief than event work, but the standards behind them are not. Every session is built around consistent lighting, calibrated colour, and a workflow that holds together whether I'm photographing a handful of senior leaders or fifty colleagues across a single afternoon at the office.

  • Professional portable lighting brought to your office, hotel or event venue
  • Dual-card recording and redundant backup throughout the shoot
  • Fully insured for office, hotel and corporate venue work
  • Colour-calibrated retouching workflow for team consistency
  • Private, password-protected client galleries
  • Calm, efficient working practice — minimal disruption to a working office


Let's Talk About Your Headshots

Tell me a little about who needs photographing, where, and what the images are for, and I'll come back to you within one working day with a clear proposal. Email is the easiest way to reach me — send the details across and we'll take it from there.





Headshot Photography FAQ

Usually, yes. If you're replacing a few people rather than photographing the whole team, send me some of the existing headshots beforehand. I can use them as a reference for lighting, framing, background and overall feel, so the new photographs don't look like they've come from a completely different photographer.
Solid, mid-tone colours generally photograph well. Very busy patterns, small logos and extremely bright white or black can be more difficult to work with, particularly when you're trying to keep a consistent look across a whole team. If you're not sure about something, bring a spare top — it takes seconds to change and gives you another option on the day.
That's probably more common than you think. Most people aren't used to being photographed properly, so I don't expect them to know what to do in front of the camera. I'll direct them through the session rather than leaving them to work it out for themselves, and we'll review the images as we go. If someone isn't happy with what we're getting, we can change the approach rather than simply accepting a photograph they don't feel comfortable using. The aim is a natural, confident portrait that still looks like them.
That's absolutely fine. I'll work around reflections and make small adjustments to the lighting and angle where necessary. If someone normally wears glasses, I generally prefer them to be photographed wearing them — the point is to produce a useful professional photograph of the person as they actually appear.
Yes. A standard team headshot works well for most people, but a CEO, director or spokesperson may need something with a little more variety for press, PR, speaking engagements or an About page. We can allow more time for those people and create a few different options without turning the whole team session into a portrait shoot.
Yes, but it's worth planning around the practicalities. For a consistent team set, photographing everyone under the same lighting and background conditions is preferable. If people have to be photographed on different days or at different locations, I'll make sure the setup is documented so the later photographs can be matched as closely as possible.
It happens. Pricing covers the agreed headcount capacity rather than a guarantee that everyone will be in the room on the day. If someone can't make it, a separate catch-up session can be arranged afterwards. It's worth making sure everyone knows the date and has a reminder beforehand, particularly with larger teams.

You can use the finished headshots for your normal business purposes — LinkedIn, your website, press, internal communications, presentations and so on. I retain the copyright as the photographer, which is standard practice, but that doesn't stop you using the photographs for the things you need them for. If you're planning something outside normal business use, it's worth mentioning it when you book.
