Blaqpix Photography

Blaqpix Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Thornton Heath, Croydon. Run by Christopher Bovell, the studio focuses on professional portraits and headshots — helping actors, business professionals and families present their best selves. Christopher’s calm, conversational approach is designed to make even camera-shy clients feel at ease, so the images you take away are relaxed, genuine and ready to use across websites, LinkedIn and printed wall art. Why choose Blaqpix? Christopher brings recognised editorial experience (featured on Sky Arts and in Rankin’s 2020 book) together with practical, people-first studio work. That combination delivers portraits that are both characterful and technically assured. Sessions take place in a well-equipped home studio in Croydon with professional Canon kit, strobe and LED lighting, various backdrops and reflectors — all used to craft flattering, confident looks tailored to your brief. What makes the approach special is the focus on authenticity and subtle enhancement. Christopher believes clients are already amazing and uses gentle retouching to bring out natural light and tone rather than over-process images. Guidance is offered throughout the shoot — from posing and outfit changes to on-the-spot feedback — so you leave with images that feel like you, only sharper. How we work: every session is collaborative. Before the shoot you’ll get clear guidance on preparing and styling; during the session Christopher creates a relaxed atmosphere to capture candid moments as well as polished headshots. After the shoot you receive a private online gallery for easy selection and download, with options for prints or wall art if you prefer physical delivery. Reveal sessions are usually done face-to-face but can be arranged remotely when needed. While portraiture is the core specialism, Blaqpix also covers event and family photography as complementary services — always delivered with the same attention to detail and friendly, professional service. The studio is insured, follows Covid-friendly practices and aims to make every client feel confident in front of the camera. If you’re in Croydon or the surrounding South London area and want a portrait that communicates personality and professionalism, Blaqpix Photography offers a focused, experienced route to images you’ll be proud to share.
