Richard Bradbury

Richard Bradbury is a Chiswick-based portrait specialist who brings a lifetime of editorial and advertising experience to every studio session. With more than 25 years photographing people for magazines and blue-chip campaigns, he approaches professional portraiture with the same curiosity and precision he applies to his commercial work. The result is portraits with an editorial quality that read confidently across LinkedIn profiles, company websites and printed materials. Why choose Richard for your portrait or business headshot? His work is informed by high-level editorial standards and a practical understanding of what images need to communicate for a brand or an individual. Having shot for international editorial and advertising briefs, Richard knows how to craft a single image that tells a story — whether that’s a concise, approachable headshot for a professional profile or a more considered portrait for executive comms. What makes his approach special is a calm, direct working method. Sessions at his Chiswick studio are tailored to put clients at ease: clear brief, friendly direction, and a focus on subtle lighting and composition that flatter real expressions rather than forced poses. For families and children — an area he has championed through projects such as Children Of London — Richard applies techniques that capture personality and tenderness while still delivering images with editorial polish. How he works: every session begins with a short creative conversation to define tone, wardrobe and usage, followed by an efficient studio shoot where Richard guides posture and expression with practical, experience-led cues. He brings technical discipline to lighting and framing, and a rigorous post-production workflow to ensure consistent, print-ready results. The emphasis is always on creating images that feel authentic, professional and ready to represent you or your business. Whether you need a confident headshot for LinkedIn, a refined business portrait for corporate use, or a timeless family portrait, Richard’s Chiswick studio combines editorial expertise with a reassuring, client-first approach. Expect thoughtful guidance, a relaxed atmosphere and portraits with the clarity and character that come from a photographer who has spent decades making people look, and feel, their best.
