book a studio shoot
booking your shoot
Whether you're a new model looking to get signed or an experienced model looking to refresh your book, we'll be able to create the kind of studio images you're looking for.
The base package (price listed below) consists of a two hour shoot in my East London based studio, with nine edited images delivered.
It is a bright well located studio, where I usually shoot with a cream fabric backdrop or straight in front of the white wall in order to give a more real and less "glossy" look to the images. If however you would prefer to use a more traditional, colorama backdrop instead, then please let me know before the shoot so it can be arranged and set up before your arrival.
(See the images on this page for an idea of what the lighting will look like)
Studio packages start at £220 for the base package with nine edited images. There is also the £260 package which includes twelve edited images. If you wished to purchase anymore images it would be £15 per image.
Add a set of polaroids/digitals to your package for just £50 extra.
Or if your an agency you can book in a set of polaroid/digitals (Minimum three sessions per set) for £60 each session.
If you wanted to book a polaroids update on it's own, you can do so for £90.
More information below.
booking a beauty shoot
If you were interested in a beauty only shoot, I offer a separate package with different pricing as they can be quite a bit more time consuming as they require a bit more editing.
For a beauty shoot, pricing starts at £180 for three edited images, £220 for six edited images, and £260 for nine edited images. These sessions tend to be quicker at around an hour to an hour and a half as they don't require outfit changes but you will still be given a two hour slot so you don't feel rushed.

a little about the studio...
The studio is located in one of London's creative hubs in Hackney Wick, is a short five minute walk from the Hackney Wick overground station and is a fifteen minute was from Stratford Westfield.
The studio is located up on the first floor of the building (with no lift unfortunately) and has a lot of natural light.
There is no designated changing room but I fashion one in a nook in the corner of the studio with ten foot poly boards so the model has complete privacy. There is also a restroom a very short walk down the hall from the studio if the model would prefer to change in there or alternatively, I can always leave the studio whilst they change. Whatever makes the model more comfortable.
a little about me...
I've been working as a portrait photographer for a little over six years now and have worked with brands and model agencies across Europe including London, Paris and Berlin.
For portfolio shoots I'm an avid believer that the focus needs to be on the model so tend to go with quite classic wardrobe to ensure that the attention is with the subject.
add an update to your polaroids
You can also easily add a polaroid/digitals update to your package which includes two sets of: headshots (front & profile), mid length (front & profile) full body (front, profile & back) images in two different outfits.
Disclaimer: Polaroids are not edited.
Added polaroid update session: £50.
If you're an agency and you want to book a set of polaroid updates for multiple models (Minimum three sessions per set): £60 each session.
If you wanted to book a polaroids update on it's own, you can do so for £90.
