About the Photographer

Established 2020

Akta Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Bethnal Green, dedicated to creating professional portraits and headshots that genuinely reflect who you are. With a clear focus on portrait photography, Akta treats each session as a collaboration: the aim is to capture presence, personality and confidence rather than a forced look or pose. That dedication to authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. Why choose Akta? Our work is built on a simple belief: great portraits open doors. Founder Charlie and the Akta team combine a photographer’s eye with real industry know‑how gained from working closely with casting directors, drama schools and agencies. We create relaxed, warm sessions — a little 'hygge' — so clients feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. That calm, conversational atmosphere is what produces the candid, career-ready images actors, creatives and professionals rely on. Our approach is practical and personal. Before your session we explore what you want the final images to do — whether it’s for LinkedIn, a casting profile or creative portfolio — and offer guidance on styling, expression and how to present yourself authentically. On the day we work with you, guide subtle adjustments, and encourage real moments that translate into the kind of portraits that stand out. Post-shoot, our team refines your chosen images with skilled retouching to ensure a professional finish while keeping your natural character intact. Akta’s commitment to inclusion and accessibility is woven into the studio’s DNA. The Pay What You Can initiative and community-focused classes (AktaClass) reflect our mission to remove financial barriers and support diverse talent. While portrait photography is our specialism, we also offer studio video services to complement your on-screen presence when needed. Rooted in industry relationships and a reputation for honest, career-first work, Akta Photography in Bethnal Green is the portrait specialist for creatives and professionals seeking thoughtful, high-impact imagery. Get in touch to discuss your portrait goals and discover how we’ll help you present the best version of yourself.
