Look your best

Headshots that actually look like you

A great headshot earns trust before you have said a word. Whether it is for LinkedIn, a company website, a casting profile or your personal brand, the goal is the same: a portrait that looks polished and professional while still looking unmistakably like you.

We keep the session relaxed and unhurried. We guide you on posture, expression and angle, review images together as we go, and make sure you leave with a shot you are genuinely happy to put your name to.

Why choose us

Twenty-five years behind the lens

Headshots are about people skills as much as camera skills. After photographing thousands of portraits in London, we know how to put a nervous sitter at ease and draw out a natural, confident expression in minutes.

We also handle whole teams. If you need consistent headshots for a company, we will set up on location and keep lighting, framing and crop identical across every person, so your team page looks like a team.

The overview

What a professional headshot session involves

A professional headshot is a tightly framed, well-lit portrait built to represent you in a working context: a LinkedIn profile, a company team page, a casting website or a personal brand. Unlike a snapshot or a cropped holiday photo, it is shot with controlled light, a considered background and direction on posture and expression, so you look approachable, credible and current. In London that credibility matters, because your headshot is often the first impression a client, recruiter or casting director forms of you.

We photograph four main kinds of headshot from our Northwood studio and on location across the capital: LinkedIn and corporate portraits for professionals and whole teams, actor and acting headshots for casting, personal-branding portraits for founders and freelancers, and on-location team shoots at your own offices. Each has its own conventions, and the comparison below sets them out so you can book the right one. Headshots sit within our broader portrait photography and commercial photography services, so a single visit can also cover branding images, product shots or team lifestyle frames if you need them.

Sessions are deliberately relaxed. Most people say they hate being photographed, so we talk you through small adjustments to your chin, shoulders and eyes, review frames together on the spot, and keep going until you have a shot you are happy to attach your name to. Whether you are booking a single LinkedIn portrait or a full team day, the aim is a picture that looks polished and genuinely like you. If you want to read more first, our guides to LinkedIn headshot tips, actor headshots in the UK and what to wear for your headshot are a good place to start.
