Really flexible and communicative; very high energy; eventual result just what we wanted.

Julius made the whole experience of having my portrait done for work, both easy and relaxed. He put me at ease and gave me just the right amount of direction to get the best out of me.
He really understands how to create portraits that feel appropriate at a senior level — confident, considered, and understated. I’m delighted with the photos and have had great feedback on them.
A highly effective and well-managed process. Would definitely recommend

Julius and I first exchanged some emails, before having a video call to discuss the shoot in depth. We continued with some emails and messages to create the “vision” for my graduation day together.
He was so kind from the very first chat, until the end of the service.
On the day, there were tube issues but Julius waited at the station we were meeting at with no problems until we arrived. He made me feel less anxious and less guilty about being slightly late. He knew where he were going - to where my graduation was held (as he’d done many shoots there - I saw other photographers there saying hello to him too, so he’s clearly know in the industry and area!) whereas I had no idea where I was going, so he took the lead about “spots” during the shoot, which was very helpful!!
As a disabled woman with many health conditions, I was expectedly tired, and Julius even held my crutch or other items of mine when I needed help during individual photos, or when moving from one space to another.
He listened to everything I had mentioned to him and ensured that he provided it, but also, as I’m not too “fussy” about photos, he took the lead when I asked him to, and I could have easily left him to choose everything for the entire shoot! He is very professional and his eye for capturing the perfect shots, is absolutely spot on!
My family loved him too! Everyone said how lovely he was - a down-to-earth professional whom I think, everyone would love and get along with! He joined in with our family laughter (and they’re a pretty “unhinged lot”) 😂 but he is so professional and “on the ball” to get the job done too - and well!
My children (18 and 14) hate having photos taken, and my autistic daughter struggles with it more so, and around people she doesn’t know in general, but again, they also enjoyed themselves!! He made everyone feel so relaxed and happy! The photos are beautiful!!!
Julius has the perfect balance between; having fun, and keeping things moving.
I have never had so much fun having my photos taken before!
Some poses that he asked me if I wanted to do - I loved the results of! I have no idea how to pose or stand for photos, but he knows exactly what he’s doing. E.g., he asked me to stand on a “sort of uneven slope”, and seeing the photo after, I instantly understood why he did! It is one of my favourite photos of myself - I look like a fierce and confident woman who knows how to stand and pose for photos hahaha.
The photos are beautiful! He managed to capture all of my “wants” - individual posed and natural, family posed and lots of natural love and laughter, but also used his own professionalism and experience - in which it is clear he knows exactly what he’s doing.
The package that I received was outstanding, and any edits that I asked for were perfect!
The whole shoot was just so much fun - we had so many laughs, and it made me feel confident. Having the shoot gave me twice the happiness of my graduation day, and made me feel extra special.
I couldn’t be any more glad that I found Julius on here, that he responded to my request, and that I chose to book with him for my photoshoot!!
I absolutely recommend his services to anyone who needs a photographer, and I would 100% book with him again when I need another one. His prices are also incredible for the work that he does and produces!
Thank you so much, Julius!
Rox, and family 🥰

Julius was professional, friendly, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the process. He took the time to visit our office beforehand to understand the space and really worked with our vision for the shoot. We’re very pleased with the results and would highly recommend him for company headshots. More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Julius for a photography session and I am beyond impressed with the results. What I appreciated most about working with him, was his personalised approach. He took the time to understand my preferences and then went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. The result was a collection of photographs that felt uniquely tailored to me. I cannot recommend Julius highly enough. More...

Julius took some amazing family photos for us. He is technically accomplished with a creative streak, and his genial approach brought out the best in the kids.
Tanya Chesney
I have used Julius on a number of projects to help build my business brand and have found him helpful, friendly and highly professional. I would definitely recommend him.
Shruti
Julius is an excellent photographer and true professional.
We worked together on some corporate headshots, yoga photography and fashion photography for my online yoga platform and yogawear shop Yoga Mapp.
Julius brings great positive energy - he made me and the yoga teachers we collaborated with feel comfortable, at ease and relaxed.
He clearly has a lot of experience and creative flair when it comes to working on the composition, light, and perspective of an image and I was delighted with the results, which he sent through just a week or so later.
We have worked on a few shoots together already, from on location in the city of London, Bank, Leadenhall Market, London Bridge, as well as in studio at the Cake & Yoga Club.
Every time Julius has been punctual, professional, sensitive and highly effective at communicating and directing the shoot, with creative and striking outcomes!
Thank you Julius, I look forward to working with you again in the future and can’t recommend you highly enough! 🙏🏽🧘🏽♀️

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
A great photograph is about capturing a moment that feels honest and natural.
For me, lighting and composition create the structure, but the most important part is the connection between photographer and subject. In my experience, when people feel comfortable and present, their character comes through and the photograph becomes much more powerful.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When talking to a new client I like to understand both the purpose of the images and how they will be used.
I usually ask questions such as:
• Where will the photographs be used (LinkedIn, website, press, portfolio, marketing etc.)
• What style of portrait or photography the client has in mind
• Whether the images should feel more formal, relaxed or editorial
• Location preferences – studio, office environment or outdoor setting
• Any timing requirements or deadlines
• How many final images are needed
These conversations help me shape the approach to lighting, location and composition so that the final images reflect the client’s personality and work well for their intended use.
What do you love most about your job?
What I enjoy most about photography is meeting and working with people and helping them feel confident in front of the camera.
Capturing a portrait where someone looks natural, confident and genuinely like themselves is always the goal.
I also enjoy the creative side of photography – using light, location and composition to create images that feel both authentic and visually engaging.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Photography has always been a long-standing interest of mine, and over time it developed into a serious creative pursuit. After many years working in executive recruitment, where I worked closely with senior professionals, founders and businesses, I decided to focus more fully on photography and build my own practice.
Starting my own photography business has allowed me to combine my interest in people with visual storytelling. I particularly enjoy creating portraits that feel natural and authentic, helping professionals and creatives present themselves with confidence.
Running my own business also means I can work closely with clients to understand their ideas and deliver images that genuinely reflect who they are and how they want to be seen.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients often choose me because I take a thoughtful and relaxed approach to photography, particularly when working with people who may not feel naturally comfortable in front of the camera.
My aim is to create portraits that feel natural, confident and authentic, rather than overly posed. By combining good lighting, careful composition and a collaborative approach, I help clients look like the best version of themselves.
Having previously worked in executive recruitment, I also understand how important professional imagery can be for LinkedIn profiles, company websites and personal branding, which helps guide the style and direction of each shoot.
Whether the project is a professional portrait, an actor headshot or event coverage, I focus on creating high-quality images while making the experience relaxed and enjoyable for the client.

I provide portrait and headshot photography for professionals, founders, consultants, creatives and actors, creating natural, confident images suitable for LinkedIn, websites, portfolios and personal branding.
Sessions can take place in studio, on location or in an environmental setting, depending on the style of portrait required. Most shoots last between 1–3 hours, allowing time to create a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere.
Using a combination of natural light and professional lighting, I tailor each session to achieve the desired look.
All selected images include professional retouching and enhancement, and are delivered as high-resolution JPEG files with a quick turnaround.
Portrait sessions are suitable for individuals, small teams and personal branding.

I provide discreet documentary-style event photography for corporate events, networking functions, launches, charity events and private celebrations.
My approach is relaxed and observational, capturing natural moments, atmosphere and key interactions without interrupting the flow of the event.
Coverage can include:
• guest arrivals and atmosphere
• keynote speakers and presentations
• networking and candid moments
• brand and venue details
• group photographs if required

Graduation Photography – London
Celebrate your graduation with relaxed and natural photographs you’ll be proud to share with family and friends. I offer friendly and professional graduation portrait sessions across London, capturing a mix of classic portraits, natural moments, and joyful celebration shots.
Many people feel unsure about posing for photos, so I guide you throughout the shoot to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Sessions can include individual portraits, family photos, and candid moments around your graduation location.
I regularly photograph graduation sessions at locations such as the Barbican, UCL, King’s College and other London campuses, and I know the best spots to create memorable images.
The aim is simple – beautiful photographs and a fun, relaxed experience on your special day.

Editorial Micro Wedding Photography – London Registry Office Ceremonies
For couples planning an intimate registry office wedding in London, I offer relaxed photography with an editorial feel. These smaller ceremonies often have a beautiful simplicity – a few close family members, a meaningful moment, and the start of a new chapter.
My approach combines natural documentary moments with a small number of gently directed portraits. I aim to capture the atmosphere of the day as it unfolds – the ceremony, quiet moments between you, and a few elegant portraits around the registry office or nearby streets.
With a background in portrait and editorial photography, I focus on creating images that feel authentic, stylish and timeless rather than overly posed. The result is a set of photographs that not only document the ceremony, but also capture the mood and intimacy of your wedding day.
These short sessions are perfect for couples who want beautiful, thoughtful photography without the need for full-day wedding coverage.
