Headshot Studios in London

Sean did our 7yo daughter’s first (and second) headshots. He was so amazing with her - patient, attentive. The new studio is a lovely space. The photos turned out beautifully. We will continue to go back - the value for money is fantastic.

I cannot recommend Sean and Helen at Lumosia enough! Sean was amazing with my daughter and made her feel at ease from the moment we arrived at the studios. It was very difficult to choose the 5 photos included in our package and I ended up buying more because I just couldn't make up my mind.
If you are looking for affordable Spotlight quality pictures for your child, you can't go wrong by booking with Lumosia

First class in every respect. I really enjoyed the shoot (and I have never really liked getting headshots done). Sean was good company and had a lot of useful suggestions.
The post-shoot experience was smooth, well-managed and thorough.
Communications were good throughout.
And I am really happy with the shots. I have got a couple of jobs since using them and friends in the business think they're really good.
The price is pretty good too.
Highly recommended.
Thanks

The shoot was okay. I felt like Sean was projecting his ideas of what I should be doing rather than listening to me. He wanted me to play psycho when I wasn't going in that direction. This meant the first half of the shoot I got zero images that I could use. He badmouthed about a few photographers that I had used previously, which was ironic as I preferred their style to his.

Saying all this, I have already been seen with my new images which is good. My agent is happy with them. Lumosia offer a helpful solution for those on a budget, or in my case, needing quick photos after a drastic change in appearance. I would only consider returning if I was able to go with Helen, my peers have worked with her and had a far better experience than I did.

This was my first professional headshot photography session and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience from
booking the session to receiving the final product. Helen made the booking process easy and was very helpful and informative and Sean made me feel relaxed from the beginning and gave some great advice. I am really impressed with the final product which was delivered in good time and was easy to access with very clear and precise download instructions. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Lumosia.

The DG Corporate experience was fast, professional and efficient. The booking process was effortless with the web chat, and I was offered plenty of options in terms of appointment time. My photographer made me feel very comfortable, whilst giving me tips on how to pose, even rectifying my tie, and knew exactly how to capture the best photos.
Full set up in a very well-equipped studio, good lighting, a dedicated make-up artist, and lots of shots are taken (over 50+) so you are certain to have the right photo. I received all original photos within a couple of hours via email link.
Very professional company which I highly recommend to anyone wanting an excellent service.

Very professional. We were made comfortable and welcome from the get go, the entire team. From make-up to shooting, it was seamless and an enjoyable experience. The photos were excellent capturing different angles and the very essence of our objectives...and this before any retouching. Many thanks. Will recommend your services

This was a great experience, and I am really pleased I did it. I would highly recommend if you are considering it.

The booking process was really easy with the web chat, and I was offered plenty of options in terms of availability. The instructions in the conformation emails were clear and easy to follow, and the advice on the website about what to wear really great.

On the day I was really nervous, having not done anything like this before. The team were really good at putting me at ease and providing advice before we started taking photos. Luke the photographer was really good at relaxing me once the shoot started, and really great at giving clear instructions, that were easy to follow.

I had a link to all the photos to choose the best ones from, and they all look really good before any touching up. I generally don't like photos of myself so to like the end result is fantastic. I am thrilled.

As I say I would highly recommend to anyone considering this. Thanks to the whole team that made this such a great experience.

Amazing experience with DG Corporate!! Really easy to book and I received my photos before I even made it home. The photo's looked incredible, and as someone who has never had professional headshots done before they made the entire process super easy and very professional. The environment was welcoming and non-stressful and the team was all super friendly. I would definitely recommend DG!!

It was an amazing headshot experience and the best one I had! From booking and getting prepared to going through the shooting session, everything is so well looked after! I was worried about posing for camera but the instructions I received made it really easy and natural. I love all the images that were sent through. I will definitely come back again with our company photos.

Mark and Louise get two stars for being pleasant, funny and supportive on the day. Unfortunately Mark suffers from a severe case of post-payment amnesia and totally forgot about me and my pictures multiple times after. Even my repeated emails were unable to jog his memory. He is a thorough gentleman to refund me my payment though. Unfortunately, my time is still non-refundable. I still recommend him though, but try to leave a lasting impression because of his amnesia. Wish I had done that!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark on a corporate headshot, and I am beyond impressed with his photography skills.

From start to finish, the experience was simply unique.
Mark is an absolute pro when it comes to capturing the perfect shot. He took the time to understand my personality and vision for the photo and brought it to life in the final product. He was also incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process, which helped me relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera.

The results were absolutely stunning. I never thought I could look this good on camera, but Mark has truly outdone himself.
The photo's lighting, composition, and overall quality were top-notch, and I couldn't be happier with the final result.

Overall, I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a photographer who can truly capture the essence of who they are.
His attention to detail, creativity, and technical skills are second to none, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Thanks again, Mark, for a fantastic experience and a truly stunning photos!

Mark was great!

He made me feel at ease throughout the photograph session and was kind enough to share some trade secrets of how to 'cheat' the lens and make it look like I am a regular gym goer.

The 'dad jokes' were an added bonus and did help to raise a smile ;)

Punctual, professional and pleasant. Mark was extremely helpful in teaching me how to pose for the message I’d like to get across. I highly recommend working with him and would also recommend him to corporates looking to get group photos.

Mark was excellent in getting to know me and understand the story I was trying to tell through my portrait before the shoot. He was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with my portraits. Highly recommend.

I’ve been to Kirill twice now for my headshots and he is amazing! Incredibly professional and helpful. Kirill will make sure to talk through your looks and ideas, and give you very useful direction throughout. I am super pleased with my headshots and will definitely be back in the future! I highly recommend.

Would recommend working with Kirill to anyone and everyone. His extensive experience is obvious as he creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for you, especially if you were a little nervous. He gives you guidance and reassurance throughout the shoot, followed by receiving amazing final shots that I am so so happy with! Thank you Kirill!

I had a great experience working with Kirill. He put me at ease from the get go and gave lots of helpful direction during the shoot. It was a fun few hours!

I’m really happy with my final selection. The photos look great and really stand out. I will definitely be back again. Highly recommended.

Kirill was the best photographer!!! He created a space that was so inspiring and comfortable it allowed me to be my authentic self. He was unbelievably kind and thoughtful and provided me with such wonderful advice during the shoot. I feel very lucky to have had a chance to work with him and I wholeheartedly would recommend him and his amazing talent!!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kirill recently to shoot headshots for acting. He was extremely professional and the working environment was very relaxed which helped me get into the headspace of having photographs taken. Kirill was more than willing to work together with ideas I had for different looks as well as ideas he had, and I am extremely pleased with the final photos. I would definitely work with him again as well as recommend him to anyone wanting Actor Headshots taken.

Thank you Kirill Kozlov!

Such an amazing and relaxed experience - Ivan is rooted in humility and is super-approachable. He is technically brilliant - met the brief perfectly and more than surpassed our expectations. Cannot recommend him highly enough - superb value, and top notch photos that will last forever. Thank you.

My headshot session with Ivan is something I won't forget for a long, long time. An evidently incredibly talented human who was also super welcoming, engaging and funny. His sessions are so relaxed and are worked through with such comfort and ease, you almost forget you're having hundreds of pictures taken of your face! I'd recommend Ivan to anyone in a heartbeat!

I had the pleasure of working with Ivan on my headshots yesterday. It was the best photo shoot ever. He is so professional, considerate and hard-working. He spent ages working on getting the right shots and knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable. His calm and kind approach immediately puts you at ease and helps to make the best use of the time. Loved the fact we went through the pics together as we went along. A true genius in his field. Recommend highly. One of London's finest photographers. Great value for money. Thank you Ivan.

It was the first time I worked with a professional photographer and I couldn’t have asked for better! Ivan was very good at putting me at ease and draw relaxed and natural pose / expressions for the shots (which isn’t always easy for me). He also gave a lot of good suggestions and tips which helped with the said objective. We ended up more amazing shots than I could afford (this is a good thing believe me) but his professional eyes (and patience) were extremely helpful in the final selection process - I would recommend Ivan to anyone who is in doubt of him/herself of ever being able to take a nice shot!

Ivan was such a pleasure to work with. He made time for us very last minute, made the team feel very comfortable and sent the first drafts over so quickly. The photos are great, very professional without feeling too staged. Would highly recommend!

Cam was an absolute delight to work with. Extremely knowledgeable. Made me feel very relaxed and at ease. Most impressive is his fast and efficient delivery of the final product and it’s not difficult to see his strong eye for detail. Overall a very professional and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Cam is lovely, friendly, professional and warm. Really reasonably priced and quick turn around. Through genuine conversation and interest he was able to capture many different looks and a true likeness to my face. Agent also really happy. Thanks Cam. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I love having my pictures taken by Cam. He has a very good creative eye and catches your true essence in every shots. I did a 4-hour portfolio session and very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Cam’s work.

Cam's an excellent photographer, a consummate professional who understands the needs of his subjects and works sensitively and efficiently to cover a range of looks. He's prompt with retouches and his systematic approach makes everything simple and stress-free. A pleasure to work with!

If you're looking for a top-notch photographer for your headshots, I highly recommend Cam. His professionalism, talent, and friendly demeanour make him the perfect choice for anyone looking for high-quality, personalised business headshots.

I've shot with Nick twice now and he's such a joy to work with. He's an incredibly lovely person who creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere. His dog Baxter is a delight as well! I'm always happy with my shots and would happily return next time.

Very comfortable environment and a safe space to work in. Nick makes you feel free to explore different characters during the shoot, and you get a great sense of space and time to be creative, without feeling rushed. Music in the background is absolute genius and so are the photos. Having too many great photos is a good problem to have! I can’t wait to get them re-touched and out there 👍

If you’re the type of person that feels awkward taking headshots, you need Nicholas in your life. I have never felt more at ease during a shoot, which translates into more pictures to choose from. An amazing photographer and an even nicer guy!

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the incredible job Nicholas did with my recent headshots. His exceptional skills, interactive approach, and down-to-earth nature made the entire experience truly unforgettable.

From the moment we began our session, I immediately felt at ease in Nicholas presence. His warm and friendly demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing me to feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot. His ability to connect with his clients on a personal level is truly commendable.

What struck me most was his talent for bringing out the best in people. His guidance and attention to detail resulted in headshots that exceeded all my expectations. He possesses an incredible eye for capturing both the physical and inner essence of his clients ensuring that the final product is not only aesthetically pleasing but also reflects their unique personality.

Moreover, his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that every shot was perfect demonstrated your dedication and professionalism. His patience and genuine interest in getting to know me as an individual made the experience all the more enjoyable. It is clear that he has a true passion for his craft.

I would definitely recommend Nicholas. Give him a try and you won’t be disappointed .

I shot my first session with Nicholas Dawkes today and I am still buzzing from it. My agent recommended him to me and after working with him, I totally understand why. He's so good at making you feel comfortable and allowing the real you to show up. Headshots are so vulnerable and such a dread but he made it fun. Besides the expert human skills he clearly knew what he was doing with the lighting and gave me so many different moods. He's also great at directing you to get something that will be useable for your casting. Side bonus: Baxter the dog is an absolute charmer, he'll sit at your feet while shooting which helped me feeling grounded and relaxed. I genuinely already recommended him to 3 of my friends on my way home! If you're hesitating between photographers, choose Nicholas, you won't regret it. He's a total pro! Only downside is I'm going to have a hell of a time choosing. But there's gold in there.

Image1st and Stephan delivered an absolutely flawless photography experience. Stephan's attention to detail ensured everything was perfect, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, I was completely satisfied. Highly recommended! Will definitely be using their services in the future

As someone who feels quite awkward about having my photo taken this was a great experience. The studio is a relaxing environment, not intimidating at all. From makeup to photography the attention to detail was fantastic. I have pictures that capture me as I wanted.

I was a bit nervous about getting my photos taken but was pleasantly surprised at how professional, helpful and incredibly friendly all the staff were. I immediately felt at ease and was given all the direction to ensure the photos looked great.
I highly recommend IMAGE 1st to anyone and am very happy with the photos and service I received. Thanks so much! :)

Professional, caring, friendly... I had a great time with them, I don't have enough time to tell you how great they are ! So just Imagine a combination of a wonderful team and a excellent job, you get IMAGE 1ST.
Also english is not my mother tongue but I really felt at ease with the staff. So for your shootings, don't hesitate, go for it ! (thank you again for your time, your work, your patience and your kindness)

I have been using Image 1st Headshots for my professional pictures and couldn't be happier with their professionalism and very high standards, both in terms of shooting and delivery with ace make up and hair artists. Doren runs a superb company with an A-Team!

I was made to feel extremely comfortable & not rushed from start to finish.
The photographer Val, who took my pictures gave good clear instructions on how to move for good angles, she was very precise and particular with my clothes & hair.
She liked to use different lighting for the background to give you more options to chose from, and always showed you the images to make sure you were happy before moving on.
Really lovely professional relaxed atmosphere.

This was my first time, and I’m so happy! It was such a great experience. I have no words for the photographer; he was so kind, fun and helped me a lot throughout the process. He was always conceded about the details to make everything look perfect and he succeeded!! I felt so welcome. I’m really happy with the headshots. Thank you for making this step in my career such a good experience.

Made me feel so comfortable took excellent pictures. Everything was exceptionally natural from hair & makeup. Easy to talk to, and have a good time whilst taking professional pictures. Picture quality is the perfect.

Had the best headshot experience yesterday with Stephan. felt super comfortable in and around the study and was constantly being on, asked if I needed anything to drink or if I was happy with the shots so far. All in all a 10/10

Highly recommend to anyone that wants high quality headshots. I had the pleasure with working with the talented vale who not only took incredible photos, she made me feel super comfortable. Hands down the best company on the market.

A simple, straightforward and mega efficient experience that represents great value, whichever package you choose.
The atmosphere was friendly and I am very content with the resulting headshot images which were made available extremely quickly. Not just the proofs but the final touched up choices.
Maxim also has a charming dry wit that helps one remain calm and collected while he snapped away during the session.
Would recommend and use the services again if required.

Very fun and great shooting for Actors Headshots. Maxim was very open and helpful when I had questions and I felt really comfortable and did not feel rushed during the shoot. I am very happy with the results. My friend recommended me to shoot with Maxim and I can now truly recommend to anyone to work with him too!

It was my first time getting professional headshots done and I honestly had such a great time. Maxim is welcoming, fun, and makes you feel so relaxed during the shoot. I would highly recommend Maxim to anyone thinking of getting headshots. Also his prices are very affordable.

Truly wonderful business headshot experience. Maxim is very easy going which made it so easy to relax quickly on the day. Professional set up and skilled editing. The results were even better than I had hoped for. Great communication throughout and quick turnaround. Thank you Maxim!

As this was my first time having professional headshots taken, I had no clue what to expect. However, Maxim was excellent at creating a very comfortable environment to work in, which helped me relax and ensured I got the best out of the session. He is fantastic at what he does and the proof is in the results. Would love to work with him again.
