Camden Old Time Photos

Camden Old Time Photos is a specialist portrait studio based in the heart of Camden Town, London. We position ourselves as portrait experts: whether you want a striking studio portrait, a professional business headshot for LinkedIn, or a character-led image with vintage flair, our focus is portrait photography done with care, craft and a little theatrical fun. Why choose us? Our unique value is the combination of technical portrait expertise and immersive themed styling. We invite clients to "become a character of your fantasy era"—Victorian, Tudor, Wild West, Gangster and other vintage themes are part of our signature approach. That means your portrait is more than a photo: it’s a crafted moment with costumes, props and set design that bring personality to the foreground. For business clients we balance that creativity with clean, professional headshot techniques so your business portrait reads as confident, polished and perfectly on-brand. What makes our approach special is the atmosphere we create. The studio is friendly and relaxed, guided by staff who help you choose a theme and dress you in carefully curated costumes. We work conversationally to put even camera-shy clients at ease, then use studio lighting and pose direction to capture genuine expression. On the day we take a range of images (many clients see dozens of frames) and review the results together so you can immediately choose the portraits that best represent you. How we work with you: arrive at our Camden Market studio, choose your preferred theme, let our team style you and then step onto the set. Our process is designed to be fun, efficient and confidence-building — ideal for individuals, professionals seeking headshots, and anyone wanting a memorable portrait session. We are a portrait-first studio: while we do occasionally photograph family and event portraits, our core specialism is creating exceptional individual and business portraits. Rooted in Camden Town and geared to clients across the UK, Camden Old Time Photos blends vintage character with contemporary portraitcraft. If you value personality, professional results and an experience you’ll remember, book a session and discover how a well-made portrait can tell your story.
