For Oxhey
Allow forty minutes for one person. We build three versions in the one sitting: a formal frame for a corporate page, a warmer one for a bio, and a tight crop that still reads at thumbnail size.
You pick the frames yourself from the screen before we finish. Retouching covers the blemish that will be gone next week and leaves the line that will not, because a stranger should still recognise you across a reception desk. Files come back inside the week, which matters when a profile is already overdue.

What we offer
Studio headshots at Northwood for sitters from Oxhey, or the whole team photographed at your own premises.
Two crops supplied: square for a profile picture, wider for a website header or a press page.
Lit the same way every visit, so next year's new starter matches the people already on the page.
Why choose us
A short brief beforehand tells us how you plan to use the images, and we shoot to fit that use. Good direction is half the job, so we guide your posture, chin and expression until the image looks effortless.
Sittings can be individual, or run through a whole department across a day using one fixed setup so that everybody ends up matching. Two looks, two backgrounds and two crops is the most common brief here, and it comfortably covers LinkedIn, a website, a press request and an email signature.

Good to know
Pricing depends on whether you need a single headshot, a personal-branding session or a full team day. Get in touch with a little detail about what you are after, and we will send clear pricing with no obligation at all. For Oxhey bookings, getting here is simple: reached via Carpenders Park station on the London Overground Lioness line towards Watford Junction.
Usually not. Oxhey sits on the edge of Watford but the working population splits, and a staff page for a Watford employer and a profile aimed at a firm in the centre expect different crops and different backgrounds. The workable answer is to decide before the sitting which one is the main use, then treat the others as crops taken from it rather than as separate photographs.
Please do. A second or third outfit gives useful variety, especially for personal-branding sessions where a few looks help your images work across different platforms. We will help you decide which changes are worth making within your session time. For outdoor photographs in Oxhey we would suggest Oxhey Park, riverside parkland beside the River Colne in Watford.
Yes. Actor and acting headshots are a speciality. We shoot honest, characterful frames sized and formatted for Spotlight, casting sites and your agent, focusing on natural expression rather than anything staged, so casting directors see the real you. Around Oxhey we plan for landmarks such as Oxhey Chapel, a Grade II listed seventeenth century chapel founded in 1612.
Practically, because both options stay open from here. You can sit for it at the Northwood studio, where the lights are put in the same places every visit, or we bring that set-up to your workplace in Oxhey and photograph the team in a morning. If a picture needs doing again in six months, coming back is an errand rather than a project.
Serving Oxhey
Clients come to us from all over Hertfordshire, including Oxhey (WD19). It sits close to Bushey and Carpenders Park, which we cover too. We can photograph at the studio or on location in Oxhey, whichever suits you best.
A residential neighbourhood on the edge of Watford in the Three Rivers area of Hertfordshire. Reached via Carpenders Park station on the London Overground Lioness line towards Watford Junction. Oxhey Chapel, a Grade II listed seventeenth century chapel founded in 1612 is a well-known local landmark in the area.

The railway at Carpenders Park points towards Watford Junction, which is useful for getting to work and no use at all for getting to Northwood. Sitters from Oxhey arrive at the studio by road, and that changes one practical thing: a shirt or a jacket travels on a hanger rather than on the person, and goes on in the last few minutes rather than being sat in for half an hour. Creases across the lap and the shoulder are the commonest avoidable fault in a business portrait, and they are put there by a car seat. What the picture has to match matters more than how it looks on its own. Oxhey is residential, so people here work elsewhere, some in Watford and some carried on through the Junction into the centre, and the finished frame lands on a page beside colleagues shot to somebody else's house style. The deciding variable is rarely the lighting. It is the proportion of the frame the head fills. A portrait cropped tighter or looser than the ones already published around it looks wrong to a viewer who could not say why, even when it is the better photograph. So the useful thing to send us first is a link to the page it is going on. Where there is no page yet, we decide in reverse, leaving room to crop in for a small profile picture and room to crop out for a wide website banner.
