Studio and on-location portraits in Hackney

From graduation portraits to personal branding, we look after clients throughout Islington, Tower Hamlets and the surrounding towns. Every session ends with a relaxed look through the images, so you leave knowing the portraits you love are there. Retouching is natural and light, smoothing distractions while keeping your skin, lines and character exactly as they are.

We have made portraits for people of every age, from graduating students to grandparents, and know how to put anyone at ease. Twenty-five years of relaxed direction means we can coax a genuine expression from even the most camera-shy sitter.

Flattering, natural results matter more to us than heavy retouching, so you always look like yourself at your best. We keep every portrait session relaxed and unhurried, so there is never any pressure to rush or to pose stiffly.

Actor and model portfolios include a spread of looks and expressions, from clean commercial frames to characterful ones. We are glad to advise on wardrobe, colours and preparation before your session so you arrive ready and relaxed.

Our studio sits in Northwood, a warm, private space with professional lighting and a range of backdrops. It is a short, easy journey from Hackney and the wider area. If you would rather not travel, we are happy to photograph your portraits on location instead.
