CMR Photography

CMR Photography is a specialist portrait studio rooted in Chislehurst and serving South East London. With a clear focus on portraiture and headshots for the performing arts, CMR creates images designed to help performers, dancers and models stand out. Having trained and worked in Musical Theatre, CMR understands exactly what casting directors and agents look for — authenticity, range and images that feel both natural and polished. Why choose CMR? The approach is personal and practical. Sessions are tailored around your goals: whether you need a versatile headshot that reads on stage and on screen, a body portfolio to show movement and line, or fashion-led images for your online presence. The emphasis is always on capturing who you are — not just what you look like — using a mix of natural light and simple studio setups that keep the focus on expression and detail. What makes the approach special is the combination of industry insight and a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere. CMR brings performer experience to each shoot, offering gentle direction, wardrobe and styling guidance, and clear advice on which images will best serve your casting or portfolio needs. The result is confident, believable portraits that feel like you and do the job you need them to do. How CMR works with clients is straightforward and client-focused. From an initial conversation about your casting type and career goals to a friendly session in a natural-light studio and considered retouching, the process is designed to be efficient and comfortable. You’ll leave with a selection of thoughtfully edited portraits you can use across casting platforms and promotional materials. While portraiture remains the core expertise, CMR also undertakes body portfolios and occasional fashion and family work. Every session is bespoke — whether you’re refreshing your headshots or building a new portfolio, CMR’s aim is to deliver polished, versatile imagery that supports your career. If you’re based in Chislehurst or South East London and looking for a portrait photographer who understands performers, CMR Photography offers a welcoming, professional service with an eye for honest, career-focused imagery.
