Testimonials

About Southwark

Southwark is a historic and vibrant borough located in South London, characterized by its rich heritage, cultural diversity, and dynamic community spirit. Spanning an area along the southern bank of the River Thames, it is notable for landmarks such as the Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, and Borough Market, reflecting both its modern appeal and historical significance. Originally established during Roman times, Southwark thrived in the medieval period as a trading and entertainment hub, with Bankside becoming renowned for theatres and bear-baiting arenas. Today, Southwark is known for its diverse economy comprising finance, professional services, creative industries, tourism, and retail. It is also home to major healthcare institutions, including Guy’s Hospital, founded in 1721. The borough has been associated with numerous notable individuals, such as Charles Dickens, who vividly depicted its taverns and streets in his literary works, and Charlie Chaplin, the influential actor and filmmaker born in East Street, Walworth. Its rich architectural landscape ranges from medieval cathedrals, such as Southwark Cathedral, to contemporary skyscrapers like the iconic Shard. With its blend of historical significance, cultural vitality, and active community involvement, Southwark continues to play a significant role in London’s development and identity.

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.

I’ll travel anywhere in Southwark to capture business headshots, and I also cover the rest of the UK. I only charge for travel when working outside of the capital, so please do get in touch to chat about your requirements and location, and I’ll provide a competitive quote.

I can also travel to multiple locations across the city, providing a consistent set up in each location to ensure continuity between headshots of different teams.
