A prominent center of the textile and furniture industries during the Victorian period, Hackney has transitioned into a vibrant locality featuring lively markets such as Broadway Market and trendy neighborhoods like Dalston, Hackney Wick, and Shoreditch. The borough is notable for its multicultural population, hosting various festivals and events celebrating diversity and creativity. Notable individuals associated with Hackney include actress Barbara Windsor, musician Paloma Faith, broadcaster Michael Caine, writer Samuel Pepys, and rapper Professor Green.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, and it travels with me everywhere I go! There’s no need for you to arrange for people to take too much time out of their working day – I’ll set up my professional mobile studio at your office, minimising disruption to your team and making sure everyone feels comfortable.

    Ideally, a space of about 10ft x 10ft, which is 3m x 3m. Usually an area at the end of a boardroom or meeting room works well, hopefully without a big table in the centre of the room. If you are tight on space, I can organise a lighting setup in a narrower space if necessary – just ask! All of my equipment is battery operated (I bring plenty of spares), so there’s no need for you to worry about providing access to power outlets either.

    This is something I hear a lot, almost everyone who arrives for a corporate headshot photography session will say that they don’t like having their photo taken, or they find it hard to get a decent business headshot. Don’t worry, I have loads of experience, and an important part of how I work is chatting to people, making them feel comfortable, and the capturing them at their best.

    All you need to do is have a quick check in the mirror, then sit down and relax while I chat with you. I can even show you a preview of the photos I have captured, so we can make sure you are happy with the results and try again if necessary. People are often quite surprised at how much they enjoy the process and how quickly I capture relaxed, natural and relatable photos.

    Yes, as professional corporate headshot photographer I am totally covered by both indemnity and liability policies, I can provide details on request.
