Ellamax is a specialist portrait studio based in Acton, focused on commercial portrait photography and professional headshots that communicate a brand’s personality with ease and authenticity. With more than 15 years’ experience behind the lens, Richard brings a calm, confident approach and refined lighting techniques that help even camera-shy subjects look natural and professional. Jo’s background in marketing and brand storytelling means every shoot is shaped around the message you want to send. Why choose Ellamax? We specialise in portraiture — not as an add‑on, but as our core expertise. That concentration shows in every stage of a project: from the initial conversation about your brand identity to selecting locations, backgrounds and styling that suit your visual language. Whether you need striking LinkedIn headshots, cohesive team photography for your website or contemporary executive portraits, we craft images with a relaxed, contemporary feel that suit commercial use across web, social and print. What makes our approach special is the combination of technical mastery and real human rapport. Richard’s relaxed photographic style and meticulous lighting create flattering, natural results; Jo’s producer experience ensures the session runs smoothly and that the visuals align with your communications goals. We pride ourselves on making the process painless — clients often tell us that our friendly, conversational approach helps people feel at ease and deliver their best expressions. How we work: we start by listening. We’ll discuss the look and feel you want, advising on location vs studio, background choices and any wardrobe or brief considerations. We can bring our mobile studio to your workplace for efficient team shoots, or welcome you in-studio for a controlled environment. If you need both stills and short video content, we can coordinate photography and video on the same day to ensure a consistent visual identity. Ellamax is a small, hands-on team — involved at every step from briefing and pre-production through shooting and post-production editing. Our aim is simple: create professional portraits that feel genuine, elevating your brand with images that work across LinkedIn, corporate reports, websites and campaigns. If you want portrait photography with a considered, brand-led approach and a relaxed studio atmosphere in Acton, Ellamax specialises in delivering that.
