Tom Hiddleston in a suit and tie holding the original King Henry V seal at the British Museum, looking at the camera, with a dark background. An editorial portrait - photography assignment.

Portrait Photography

Going beyond the headshot and into the realms of portrait photography gives more scope to tell the story.

The chosen setting will provide context, depth and will contribute to the narrative conveyed by the picture. This is the chance to capture not just the physical appearance but the personality of the subject. A portrait will reveal how a person wants to be seen and what they stand for.

Together, we can control all of these variables. I’ll bring the equipment and the experience and an open set of ears.
