- How to book: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
Frames go straight to a screen as we shoot, so the expression is chosen with you in the room instead of sent off for approval a week later. The right expression tends to arrive within a handful of frames once the first few have settled the nerves.
You leave with a retouched file at the sizes a profile and a press page ask for, plus the untouched original in case a template wants its own crop. Retouching stops at skin, stray hair and collars, and the face stays recognisably the face.

Thank you for the photos taken for my son's lookbook. They are fantastic!
I did a fabulous photoshoot with Kaushik and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was very nervous, but he made me feel at ease! I will hopefully return for another one at a later date!
Why choose us
How a headshot session runs
Together we narrow the set to the strongest frames, and the chosen ones are retouched lightly and naturally.
You get a square crop for LinkedIn, an upright one for a website biography and an uncropped file for casting, so one sitting covers every format. For a team, everyone gets the same background and lighting, so the company page looks consistent.

Good to know
Headshot Photographer in Barking and Dagenham, FAQs
Yes, and the feeling is far more common than you might think. With gentle, clear guidance and no rush, anxious sitters relax, and the natural expression we find often comes as a happy surprise.
That depends on the booking. A single headshot usually takes about twenty minutes in front of the camera, while branding and team bookings run longer. Whichever you book, the pace stays calm.
You pick with us on screen, then we retouch your favourites. A single headshot booking usually ends with one or two finished images, while branding sittings and team days deliver a larger set.
Absolutely, feel free. Two or three changes add useful variety, especially for personal branding, where different looks suit different platforms. Whether you come to Northwood or we set up at your workplace in the borough, we will say which changes are worth making.
Yes, and we cover Ilford, Rainham and Chadwell Heath alongside Barking and Dagenham. On site we bring lights, stands and a background, so we need a room we can darken a little and a few metres of clear floor. For a team, send us photographs of the room first.

If your employer is based in central London, your headshot has a particular job to do. That matters, because the picture will not hang alone. The convention is narrow. A plain background, controlled light, the camera set a little above the middle of the face, a crop that still works when the site reduces it to a circle the width of a fingernail, and no sun, no foliage, no park. It is a cross-London journey rather than a local hop, so we would take a slot away from the morning and evening peaks. Arriving unhurried shows in the shoulders and the jaw more plainly than anything that can be corrected afterwards. Bring two shirts, one plain and one with a collar that holds its shape, and shave or make up as for a working day rather than an evening out.
