As a portrait specialist based in Chelsea, Birgit Tabbarah brings a warm, relaxed approach to professional portraiture and business headshots. Her work is defined by a commitment to authenticity — she aims to create images that feel natural, unforced and true to who you are. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot or a personal portrait to mark a life moment, Birgit’s intention is always the same: to capture personality, not just a pose. Why choose Birgit? She combines a street-photography eye with years of portrait and commercial experience across London, Europe and beyond. That gives her a knack for noticing genuine moments and subtle expressions that translate into memorable portraits. Clients repeatedly praise her ability to put camera-shy subjects at ease — her calm, conversational style helps people relax so their real selves come through in the images. What makes her approach special is its simplicity and honesty. Birgit prefers natural light and uncluttered backdrops that let faces and connections take centre stage. She tailors each session to the person — from wardrobe tips and location suggestions around Chelsea to a friendly pre-shoot conversation so you know what to expect. For business portraits and headshots, she focuses on producing images that look professional across websites, social media and PR while still feeling approachable and human. How she works with you: sessions are easy to book online and can be arranged in Chelsea or at carefully chosen locations across London. Birgit keeps the atmosphere informal and enjoyable, guiding you with gentle direction and encouragement rather than rigid posing. After the shoot you’ll receive a curated set of digitally retouched images in a private online album; Birgit aims for a straightforward, efficient delivery so you can start using your new portraits quickly. Birgit’s passion for portraiture is rooted in a love of people and story-telling. She believes today’s portraits become tomorrow’s memories, and she treats every session — from business headshots to personal portraits — with the same attention to craft and care. If you’re looking for professional portraits from a Chelsea-based photographer who values authenticity, personality and calm professionalism, Birgit offers a thoughtful, expert service tailored to you.
