Sometimes what you need isn’t a headshot at all, but something more atmospheric.

I often work with clients who want portraits that sit between art and branding: softer light for a jewellery website, bold colour for a musician’s album release, or even a vintage 90s-inspired set for a personal creative project. These sessions borrow the best of portraiture and editorial photography, giving you imagery that goes beyond LinkedIn or dating apps.

If you’re looking for something more artistic or editorial (like portraits for a personal or creative project), those are part of my dedicated > Personal Portraits in London service.

Here are some of my favourite examples of people who’ve taken advantage of the opportunity to create multiple looks during their headshot session with me.

Your professional headshot is all about confidence, capability, and trustworthiness—ideal for LinkedIn or your company’s website. But when it comes to dating, that formal look won’t help you connect on a personal level.

For dating profiles, a relaxed and natural photo is key. It’s your chance to show off your personality, whether you’re fun and warm, playful and humorous, or mysterious and strong. First impressions matter, and in just a few seconds, your photo should let someone see the real you.

I recently worked with a dancer who needed professional images for their agency, and one of those headshots was even used for her staff dancer pass at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, such a special moment! I offered an agency ready headshot and something moodier for her social media profiles.

Not all headshot sessions are about the office or for an artistic endeavour. Recently, I worked with a university professor who needed something alongside the classic headshot. In addition to their teaching role, they’re involved in external research projects and needed a set of images for their tech profiles, personal blog, and even some presentations.

A film director came to me for versatile headshots that could work across festival submissions, press releases, and professional bios. We created a set of professional images with subtle variety so they had options that still felt authentic and polished.

For clients like this who also want cinematic or editorial portraits inspired by their creative work, I recommend my Personal Portraits in London sessions. They’re designed for projects that go beyond the scope of a headshot.

In the end, having the right headshot for both your professional life, side hustle, and your dating profile can make a world of difference. Whether you’re looking to make a strong impression in the workplace or connect with someone on a personal level, your photo should reflect the real you.
