For Ruislip Manor
Two backgrounds and two crops come as standard: a tight head that still reads once a website shrinks it to a thumbnail, and a wider frame that leaves room for type. You choose from the edit rather than hoping that one of them happens to fit.
The lighting positions go into a note kept against your name. That is what lets a colleague photographed months later be matched to this sitting rather than approximated to it, without anybody being asked back.

What we offer
Headshots taken at Northwood, or beside the desk where the work itself actually gets done.
Two backgrounds and two crops as standard, so profile pictures and company pages each get what they need.
Lighting recorded against your name, so a colleague photographed months later still matches this team.
Twenty-five years behind the lens
We edit down to the strongest frames with you, then finish your chosen images with a light, natural hand. For LinkedIn we usually keep the background clean and simple, so nothing competes with your face.
A typical session covers a few expressions and looks, so you leave with more than one usable frame. 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.

Recent work
Good to know
Yes. When you are adding new starters, we match the lighting, background and crop of your existing team headshots as closely as we can, so the newcomers sit naturally alongside everyone else on your company website. Outdoors in Ruislip Manor we would head for Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve, ancient woodland close to the north.
In our experience, a good headshot pairs a confident, natural expression with clean light and a background that never distracts. It should resemble you on a good day, read well when small, and suit its purpose, whether that is LinkedIn or a Ruislip Manor casting call.
We do, with a deliberately light touch. Stray hairs are tidied, shine is softened and small distractions are evened out, yet you still look entirely like yourself. Our Ruislip Manor clients want polished and professional, never plastic or over-edited, and that is exactly what we deliver.
Not long at all. Retouched, your selected headshots typically arrive within a few days, and urgent jobs can jump the queue. Plenty of our Ruislip Manor clients book to a deadline, so let us know your timeframe and we will make it work.
You review the frames with us during the session and choose your favourites, which we then retouch. A standard headshot booking typically delivers one or two final images, while personal-branding and team packages include more selects to suit the wider use. Landmarks we can work with near Ruislip Manor include Manor Farm and its medieval Great Barn nearby, a designated heritage site.

Ruislip Manor is residential almost the whole way through, and that is where the local headshot problem starts, because the obvious place to take one is a front room. Interwar houses put a bay on the front elevation, and a bay is a wide, low, three-sided window. It is a great deal of daylight, which is why people try to use it, and it is the wrong shape for a head: three planes of glass send light in from three directions at once, so there is no single direction to model against, and the face lands bright and structureless. Depth is the second problem. These front rooms are shallow and the ceilings are low, so a sitter finishes up close to the wall behind and throws a shadow onto it. Neither fault is repaired by a better camera or a brighter day. Both are repaired by choosing the direction the light arrives from, which is the entire argument for a room kept for the purpose. Our room in Northwood is inside the same borough, and the Metropolitan line linking the two already calls at this station, so getting there is a diary question rather than a logistics one. What that buys is light with one direction, a background chosen instead of inherited, and a written record of how it was set, which is what allows somebody photographed a year later to match the people already in place rather than merely resemble them at a glance.
