Specialist portrait studio in Catford. Yolande creates confident, authentic professional headshots and personal-brand portraits for London businesses, with calm direction and expert retouching.
As a specialist in portrait photography based in Catford, Yolande De Vries focuses on creating professional portraits that help people look and feel like their best selves. Her work centres on headshots, personal-brand portraits and business portraits designed for LinkedIn profiles, company websites and PR-driven communications. She positions portraiture as a strategic tool for professionals — not just a picture, but a way to present confidence and approachability. Yolande’s style is natural, considered and client-led. Whether you need a corporate headshot, a personal-brand session that reflects your practice, or a consistent look across a team, she prioritises relaxed direction and authentic expression. Many clients value her ability to capture subtle, decisive moments: the small shifts in posture or glance that make a portrait feel alive and credible. Her process is structured around collaboration. Before a shoot she discusses goals and audience, so every image supports how a client wants to be seen. On the day she creates a calm studio atmosphere and gives clear, simple guidance so people who dislike posing feel at ease. For team or business portrait work she ensures visual consistency across individuals while preserving everyone’s personality — essential for company websites and press materials. Technical care and finishing are part of the service. Yolande offers professional retouching that enhances images without erasing character, keeping skin tones natural and details intact. The result is polished, usable imagery ready for LinkedIn, press, websites and other business needs. Rooted in Catford and working across London, Yolande is driven by a practical love of portraiture: helping clients present themselves with clarity and confidence. If you want portrait photography that feels purposeful and personal — a headshot that opens doors or a brand portrait that tells your story — Yolande brings attentive planning, calm direction and an experienced eye to every session.
