Emotive, natural-light portraits and headshots by Brockley-based Lisa Lobanova. Relaxed, authentic sessions that put camera-shy clients at ease and create images for family albums and LinkedIn.
I’m Lisa Lobanova — a London-based portrait photographer specialising in emotive portraiture, natural light and honest, unforced photos that feel like your own. Based in Brockley and working across London (and sometimes in the UK, France and Italy), I focus on creating portraits that belong in your family album and on your professional profiles alike. Why choose me for your portrait session? My work is built around emotion and connection. I believe the best portraits come from small, true moments — a quiet look, a shared laugh, the way a child tucks into their parent’s jacket. Over more than a decade behind the camera I have developed a gentle, conversational approach that helps even camera-shy clients relax. The result is authentic images that show who you are, not just how you look. My style is simple: natural light, thoughtful composition and an emphasis on feeling. In the studio or on location in Brockley, I guide rather than pose. I like to create a calm, friendly atmosphere where families, couples and individuals can be themselves. For parents bringing young children, I offer a patient, playful approach that keeps sessions fun and warm — and yields real smiles, not forced ones. I also photograph professional headshots and LinkedIn portraits as an additional offering. These sessions are straightforward and efficient: we keep the mood relaxed while making sure your images feel modern, professional and true to your personality. While portraiture is my specialism, I understand how powerful a well-crafted headshot can be for your personal brand. Beyond one-to-one portraits, I run occasional photodays and workshops that bring together families and creative people for short, joyful shoots — a lovely way to get new images with minimal fuss. If you value emotive, natural-light portraits made with warmth and care, I’d love to hear from you. I approach every session with curiosity and respect, aiming to capture the small, meaningful details that tell your story. Reach out to discuss a Brockley studio session, an on-location family shoot or a professional headshot — I’m always excited to create images that matter.
