For Islington
Ten to fifteen minutes a person once the lamps are up, so a team of six fits inside a morning without anybody losing half a day. People come through in whatever order they become free, instead of standing in a queue waiting to be called.
Everyone gets the same lens, the same distance and the same background tone, and all three are noted down. A new starter next year can be given identical treatment. The edit stays honest: a blemish gone, a collar straightened, nothing that alters what you look like.

What we offer
Headshots made at your Islington address, or at the Northwood studio if you want the working day out of frame.
Fifteen minutes a person, one lighting setup, and a written record so later arrivals still match.
Company page, personal listing and profile crop out of one sitting, without relighting the face between them.
Twenty-five years behind the lens
For acting headshots we focus on honest, characterful frames that agents and casting directors can trust. Team headshots are lit and framed consistently, so everyone matches across the company website.
We offer single headshots, personal-branding sittings and full team days, priced to suit each. A single look suits most corporate profiles, but adding a second outfit roughly doubles what the images can be used for at very little extra time.

Good to know
Yes, and Canonbury, Barnsbury and Finsbury are the same call-out. We need a room with roughly three paces of clear floor behind where you stand, plus a socket. Nowhere to unload is not a problem, since the kit comes up a staircase in two trips. Tell us in advance if the building wants names for a pass. If you would rather come to us, the studio is at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6.
Yes. As you take on new starters, we replicate the lighting, background and crop of your current team headshots as closely as possible, so the newcomers blend in naturally beside everyone else across your company website. Getting to Islington is straightforward for us: served by Angel station on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington station on the Victoria line and London Overground.
A good headshot shows a confident, natural expression, with clean lighting and a background that does not distract. It should look like you on a good day, read clearly at small sizes and suit wherever you plan to use it. Outdoors in Islington we would head for Highbury Fields, the borough's largest open space.
We do, and they are a real speciality of ours. Our actor headshots are honest and full of character, sized for Spotlight, casting platforms and your agent. We chase natural expression over anything staged, so casting directors get a true sense of you. We cover Islington and nearby Canonbury, Barnsbury and Finsbury.
Yes. Plenty of our Islington clients book precisely for LinkedIn, so we frame and crop with the platform in mind and your image reads clearly as a small thumbnail. You also receive sizes for your website, email signature and any other profile, all professionally finished.
Serving Islington
Clients come to us from all over London, including Islington (Greater London). It sits close to Camden and Hackney, which we cover too. We can photograph at the studio or on location in Islington, whichever suits you best.
A fashionable inner north London borough centred on Upper Street and Angel, with a lively mix of shops, theatres and restaurants. Served by Angel station on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington station on the Victoria line and London Overground. The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal, in Highbury is a well-known local landmark in the area.

Angel sits on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington station carries the Victoria line and the Overground, so hardly anybody drives to a headshot in this borough. People walk in off a platform, usually wedged between two other things they had to do that day, and that is a physical fact with a photographic consequence. Somebody who has just come up out of a tube arrives warm, with colour sitting high on the cheeks and across the forehead, and a camera reads that as redness long before the eye does. It settles, but it takes longer than anyone expects. So the running order gets built backwards. Wardrobe, background tone, lamp height and any trouble with glasses all get solved while the face returns to normal, and the frames that matter get made late in the hour instead of early in it. Glasses deserve naming, because nobody thinks to mention them. A soft source reflects in a lens as a bright rectangle sitting precisely where an eye should be, and the cure is geometry rather than editing: the light goes higher and further round, or the frames get tipped forward at the ear by two or three degrees. The other pattern here is that one picture has to serve two masters, a company listing and something the person controls themselves. Both come out of a single lighting setup, with only the crop and the background tone changing between them, because two different lightings of one face read on a screen as two different people.
