English Photoworks

About

*NEW* our online masterclass, Cinematic & Dramatic Portraits is now available! 8+ hours of tuition in shooting, lighting and editing in this signature style! Details here.

I'm a London-based portrait photographer, working mostly working with professional clients and shooting primarily for publications (Sunday Times Magazie, Los Angeles Times, Radio Times, BBC etc). Other work includes producing studio-based editorial, personal branding and publicity portraiture, especially for classical singers, actors and models, but also for anyone who needs beautiful imagery to help them connect effectively with their audience.

Studio

The studio is about 1,000 sq. ft. in West London, beautiful and very well equipped. We have an all-Elinchrom lighting system with a great range of lighting modifiers, and there are about 25 gorgeous hand painted backdrops (think Annie Leibovitz-style) and wind machine. Set design is a big part of the look and the studio has a really cool array of antique/mid-century chairs and furniture, so your images look pretty unique. The work has a definitive look, and we can of course shoot in more conventional commercial styles when it's needed.
