Sophie Dunne Photography

Sophie Dunne is a Chingford-based portrait specialist with over 25 years behind the lens, focused on one thing above all: creating portraits that feel like you. Her signature documentary-style approach is relaxed, quietly observant and unforced — she blends into the background so genuine moments and authentic expressions can unfold. The result is timeless, artful photography that works equally well as a personal portrait or a confident business headshot. Why choose Sophie for your portrait or professional headshot? Because she treats every session as a story. Whether you’re refreshing your LinkedIn profile, building a personal brand, or simply wanting a portrait that captures who you are today, Sophie combines editorial composition with a warm, conversational shoot atmosphere. Her work favours natural light and subtle, contemporary edits so images feel modern yet enduring. How she works: every portrait session begins with a short consultation — a chance to discuss your goals, style preferences and how the images will be used. You can choose the comfortable, fully equipped Studio56 space in Chingford for a controlled, editorial look, or opt for on-location sessions when a lifestyle context is more fitting. During the shoot Sophie gives gentle direction and expert posing guidance to help you feel at ease; she balances posed portraits with candid moments to build a diverse, usable set of images. Deliverables and care: Sophie personally edits each image with a subtle, natural touch and delivers your finished gallery via a private ShootProof link for easy viewing and download. Headshot and business portrait packages include professional retouching aimed at a polished, authentic finish — ideal for websites, press, social and corporate use. While portrait and business headshots are Sophie's core specialties, her studio also supports related photography needs such as family and maternity sessions, studio hire and creative content services. Based in Chingford and serving clients across Essex and London, Sophie brings a calm, professional presence to every shoot and a commitment to images you’ll be proud to display. If you want a portrait that tells your story — clear, confident and beautifully made — Sophie Dunne is the portrait photographer in Chingford to choose.
