(…even if you don’t know how to “look professional” on camera!)
Look credible, approachable, and current—without the stiff studio setup
A relaxed photography session for people who need better professional headshots in London, but don’t want a staged, awkward studio look.
- No forced corporate grin.
- No awkward posing.
- No “turn slightly and look into a dream distance!” nonsense.
Just useful direction, natural light, London backdrops and photos that make you look like your natural self on a fantastic day.
Whether you need LinkedIn headshots, a new CV photo, a company bio image or business headshots for your website, the aim is the same: a photo which feels polished enough for work, but natural enough to feel human.
Portrait shoots from £160 · £50 deposit to book · Based in London
Your headshot is already saying something about you
The first impression people get from you is usually a photo.
Before someone reads your CV, visits your website or replies to your message, they’ve already formed a first impression.
Do you look current?
Do you look credible?
Do you look approachable?
Do you look like something they could hire, recommend, trust or even remember?
A great LinkedIn headshot doesn’t need to make you look like a different person.
It needs to make you look clear, confident and real.
Professional headshots in London don’t have to look like studio portraits
A fantastic advantage of taking professional headshots in London is that the city gives us so many more options than a plain studio wall.
Your headshot can still look credible, polished and professional—but it can also feel more natural, current and specific to you than any studio headshot.
Great London areas for business headshots include:
- The City of London
- The South Bank
- London Bridge / Tower Bridge
- Westminster / Vauxhall
- Canary Wharf
- Or, your office area (if suitable)
You don’t need to decide this alone; I’m happy to suggest a location that fits!
Natural direction. Relaxed shoots. Retouched selects.
Formal, but not painfully corporate
The majority of headshots on LinkedIn just feel…forced.
The background is boring.
They’re taken under harsh studio lighting.
The smile is frozen.
The person looks uncomfortable.
For entrepreneurs, business leaders and employees alike…this isn’t the ideal way to make a first impression.
We aren’t taking a passport photo; if you need one of them, you can get one for a few quid at any photo booth. We’re going to photograph you in a way which said: “This is a person worth speaking to.”
We’ll use the beautiful city that is London and a relaxed pace to create photos that look warm, modern or creative without looking artificial.
Get a headshot you’ll actually use
A great professional photo shouldn’t sit in a folder because it feels too stiff, too fake, or too “unlike you”.
It should be easy to upload to LinkedIn, add to your CV or send for a speaker profile without second-guessing it.
That’s what the session is built around: a focused set of natural business portraits that look professional, feel current, and still feel recognisably like you.
No more stiff, generic corporate headshots. Just professional photos you’ll feel great about using.
Calm direction. No rigid posing.
You won’t be left standing there wondering what to do. But I also won’t ask you to pose as some theatrical version of yourself.
I’ll give enough direction to help the photo work, then leave enough space for you to be yourself.
Natural light and real London backdrops
Instead of a generic headshot studio setup, we’ll use outdoor or location-based backgrounds that fit the impression you want to make.
Clean architecture, quiet streets, softer greenery, or maybe a more urban look / something simple and minimal.
A set of strong, usable images
You don’t need hundreds of near-identical photos.
You need a focused set of natural business portraits that work across LinkedIn, CVs, company bios and social profiles.
Retouching that still looks like you
The final images are polished, but not plastic.
The aim is to make the photo look clean and professional while keeping you recognisable.

Hi! I’m Tommy.
I’m a London-based portrait photographer creating contemporary portraits for people who need to look credible, approachable and current online.
I’ve spent years photographing people around London—at events, in music settings, while travelling, and in everyday moments. The photos people respond to most are rarely the most rigid or posed unnaturally. They’re the ones where the person looks relaxed, recognisable and properly themselves.
Polished enough for LinkedIn, company websites and speaker profiles—but still natural enough to feel human.
The version of yourself which an employer, a client or a collaborator needs to see is the version that says, “I enjoy being here” and not, “I’m only doing this because I have to.”
The goal is simple: a modern business headshot that makes you look like someone worth speaking to, not a corporate stock photo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you shoot in a studio?
These sessions are outdoor or location-based shoots using natural light and London backdrops.
If you specifically need a traditional studio headshot, this isn’t the right offer.
What should I wear?
Wear something that fits the impression you want to create.
For business leaders, a smart shirt that fits well is a great choice—tie optional. For tech entrepreneurs, you might go for a more casual appearance, but don’t overdo it. Avoid busy patterns, tiny checks and anything that distracts from your face. Plain colours usually work well.
For Standard or Premium shoots, it can be worth bringing a second jacket, shirt, top or layer for variety.
Do you do team headshots?
Yes, I do team headshots.
I don’t do separate packages for groups or teams, so make sure you book a package with enough photos to do everyone justice. But with that in mind, you’re welcome to bring as many people to the shoot as you like.
Can we shoot near my office?
Usually, yes, so long as the location is easy for us both to get to, and as long as the area has suitable light and backgrounds.
If the location is not ideal, I’ll suggest somewhere nearby or similar.
Will you tell me how to pose?
I’ll guide the session, but I won’t over-direct you.
The idea is to make the photo work without making you feel like you’re performing. Small adjustments usually make the biggest difference.
How quickly will I receive the final photos?
I’ll get the images to you within 1-2 weeks from the day of the shoot.
If you need the images faster, feel free to get in touch; I’ll be able to bump you up the list for a small fee.
Ready to replace the photo you keep putting off?
Your current profile photo is already shaping how people see you.
