Why Choose This Package?+
⭐ Variety
Ample time to capture different expressions, moods, and styles. This is ideal if you need portraits for both professional platforms and creative projects.

⭐ Creative Flexibility
You can mix studio lighting with natural daylight portraits for a balanced portfolio. Keep in mind that daylight setups take longer, so including them may reduce the number of looks we can fit in.

⭐ Live Image Review
Review shots during the session so you can make adjustments and leave confident in your final selections.

⭐ Exceptional Value
At £330, this package offers professional author portraits in London with a wide range of looks. It is the ideal choice for writers who want images that work across covers, press, and digital platforms.
ADD-ONS+
One Extra: Add an additional edited image to your package at the time of booking, for just £25.

Additional retouched images purchased after the shoot are £30 each.

Help me pick | £30
Sometimes it can be hard to be objective when looking at pictures of yourself and therefor, if you would like help whittling down the images in the contact sheets, choose this add-on. I’ll then spend one to two hours looking though the proof images to recommend 10-20 shots in which look your best and/or show off your character range. From there you can make the final selection for editing.

48 hour express editing | £50
With express editing, once you have let me know your choices, your images will be edited and returned to you within 48 hours, rather than the standard 7-10 working days for this package. This only includes the number of edited images the package includes. Additional edited images may take longer.

Extended Image Storage | £15
All images from your photoshoot are stored for 6 months. If you would like to extend this to 12 months, select ‘Extended Image Storage’ when booking.

For more information on storage, see section 7 of the Terms & Conditions here.
What to expect...+
Before your shoot
Once you have paid the deposit or full amount, you will receive an email confirming your booking details, the studio address and guidance on how to prepare.

If you are unsure which outfits to bring, feel free to bring a variety. We can look through everything together and choose the options that will work best for the tone you want to convey. If you have a particular mood, style or cover concept in mind, you are welcome to share this in advance.

During your shoot
The studio will be prepared before you arrive, with lighting set up and ready to go. After a short briefing and test frames, we will begin working through a planned series of portraits that may include classic author headshots, half length images, full length images and more creative or atmospheric looks.

There is time to explore multiple backgrounds, outfits and expressions. If you choose to include daylight portraits, we will build those into the session as they take a little longer to set up.

Images preview on a monitor throughout the session, so you can review the shots as we go and make informed decisions about poses, expressions and styling.

After your shoot
Your private online proof gallery will be ready within 24 hours of the session. For this package, the gallery usually contains around 60 or more proof images.

Once you have selected your six favourites, they will be edited with Standard Retouch and uploaded to your gallery within 7 to 10 business days (Monday to Friday). Additional edited images can be purchased if you would like more options for websites, press or future releases.

Unedited images are not supplied. For more information, please see the FAQ.
