Alexandra Vanotti specialises in portrait photography from her Earlsfield base. Warm, relaxed sessions—studio, home or outdoor—delivering natural professional portraits and LinkedIn headshots that tell your story.
Based in Earlsfield, I specialise in portrait photography with a focused expertise in professional portraits and headshot photography. My work is grounded in storytelling — a sensibility I developed as a journalist at the BBC — and I bring that narrative eye to every portrait session. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a polished business portrait, or a relaxed personal portrait, my aim is the same: to create images that look like you at your best. I know how awkward being in front of a camera can feel. My warm, friendly approach and gentle direction help even camera-shy clients relax. I turn what can be an anxious experience into something calm and enjoyable, using charm and sensitivity to find the natural expressions that say more than a posed smile. The result is honest, authentic portraits with personality — professional headshots that feel human, not sterile. My portrait studio options are flexible: I shoot in a pop-up studio in nearby Wandsworth, at your home or workspace, or out in a favourite outdoor location. I bring plain backdrops and practical kit so we can achieve a refined studio look anywhere, or we can embrace a location’s atmosphere for a more informal vibe. I’m a bit of a detail stickler and take time during the session to check in, make small adjustments, and make sure you’re happy with the direction of the shoot. Technical care happens behind the scenes. I work my technical magic in post-production to enhance colour, light and composition while preserving the natural feel of the image. My editing is thoughtful — subtle retouching that keeps integrity and personality intact so your portraits remain recognisably you while looking polished for professional use. Choosing me means choosing a portrait specialist who combines journalism-rooted storytelling with approachable direction and technical craft. I love helping clients present themselves confidently — whether for business profiles, LinkedIn, company websites or personal portfolios. If you want professional portraits from an Earlsfield-based photographer who prioritises warmth, authenticity and clarity of purpose, I’d love to talk about your vision and make it a reality.
