Costache Cosmin Photography

Hello — I’m Cosmin Costache, a portrait photographer based in Carshalton. Since 2007 my camera and I have been turning people’s stories into images: joyful couples, playful families, confident professionals and anyone who wants a portrait that feels honest and alive. Over the years I’ve built my craft through training, long hours of practice and thousands of images, and I take pride in being chosen to help complete people’s happiest moments. My focus is portrait photography. In my Carshalton studio I aim to create a calm, friendly space where you can relax and be yourself. My approach is informal and conversational: I guide gentle poses, encourage small acts of spontaneity and look for the subtle expressions that reveal real personality. Whether you want a refined studio portrait, a contemporary headshot for LinkedIn, or a warm family portrait, I work to capture authentic emotion rather than stiff, posed looks. Technical skill matters, but so does the atmosphere. I blend careful lighting and composition with a playful attitude so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. The result is professional portraits that feel personal — images that work for both personal keepsakes and business needs. While portrait work is my specialty, I also offer business portraits and professional headshots tailored for LinkedIn and personal branding. These sessions prioritise clarity, presence and a natural look that communicates confidence online. Working with me is collaborative: we start with a simple conversation about your goals, then shape the session to suit your personality and purpose. I believe great portraits are created together — by making you comfortable, by listening, and by paying attention to the little details that make each person unique. After the session I carefully select and refine images so your final photos reflect the best version of you. If you are in Carshalton or the surrounding area and want a portrait that tells your story with warmth and honesty, let’s talk. I love meeting new people and helping them create images they’ll treasure for years.
