STUDIO PORTRAITS

Cinematic, Personal, and Uniquely You

Your time in my studio is more than just a photoshoot. It’s a creative collaboration designed to capture you.

 

Whether you're an individual, couple, performer, or professional, we’ll work together to create images that feel timeless, bold, and unmistakably you.

Rooted in a cinematic style influenced by New York and London portraiture, my approach is minimal yet expressive. I don’t rely on elaborate setups; instead, I work with character, light, and stillness to reveal what makes you distinct.

Information & FAQ's

Further Booking Information

In life, things happen that we cannot predict, so I will always try to be sensitive to changes made and have made the following stipulations to protect all parties.

A deposit will secure your booking, with the remaining balance payable on the day before the shoot begins.

If you wish to reschedule, a minimum of 24-hour notice is required.

If you wish to cancel, a refund is available with a minimum of 48-hour notice.

If you cancel with under 48 hours' notice, or on the day of the shoot, no refund can be given.

If I cancel or ask to reschedule, you will be given the option of a refund, or a small discount will be offered on your balance.

No refunds are available after the shoot has taken place, except in exceptional cases and strictly at the photographers' discretion. 

FAQ'S

Why is the background always the same?

Having shot studio portraits over the years, I have come to realise that in concentrating on too many different elements, you actually take away from the final piece. Working on being comfortable, simple yet effective posing, and connecting with the lens will yield far greater results for both the photographer and subject.

Will you use my images promotionally?

I will only use your images if you have signed to say that you're okay with it. The agreement will stipulate whether they are used on the website, social media, or printed materials. Anyone over the age of 13 will be required to consent, even if a parent or guardian is present.

What's the difference between the packages?

The Headshots package focus' only on head and shoulder framing, that is ideal for those who simply need an image for their portfolios, websites, CV's or profiles, such as actors or professionals.

The portrait session is more involved. It can be a solo shoot, or couples or groups, and you will see me taking a vast array of photographs; intimate close-ups, and well-composed, carefully-posed full-body shots, sometimes with props such as chairs.

I have a big group, is that a problem?

Not at all. There is space to accommodate most size groups, we will need to discuss how many and you're requirements before the shoot!
