Tom Daniels Photography

I’m Tom Daniels and portrait photography is at the heart of what I do. Based in Egham with a studio near Farnham, I’ve spent over 15 years honing a natural, candid approach that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera — and delivers images with personality and purpose. I position myself as a portrait specialist: whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, an actor’s portfolio image or a refined business portrait, my focus is on capturing the honest, usable photographs that represent you. My photography philosophy is simple: make it feel normal. I dislike the rigid, ‘stand and smile’ sessions; instead I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where conversation and small direction lead to genuine expressions. I work with natural light where possible and keep studio setups clean and unobtrusive so the attention remains on you. That means the final images feel authentic, not over-directed — perfect for casting agents, recruiters or corporate profiles. I work closely with each client from the moment we first speak. We’ll talk about the story you want your image to tell, wardrobe choices and any branding considerations. On the day I take the time to chat before I pick up the camera, review images with you as we shoot and tweak things together so you’re always in control of the outcome. My retouching is intentionally light-touch — I follow the rule: “If it’s not going to be there in a week, I will re-touch it.” The end result is polished, natural portraits that still look like you. As a specialist in portrait work I deliver imagery that performs across platforms: agent portfolios, actor comp cards, LinkedIn profiles and company websites. I also offer business portrait sessions and can coordinate straightforward content for teams or small businesses. While portrait remains my core expertise, I can collaborate with clients who want to combine photography with additional visual content such as short video assets or aerial imagery through my wider services. If you’re looking for professional portraits with a relaxed, truthful feel and local, reliable expertise in Egham and the surrounding areas, get in touch. I’m committed to making the session straightforward, enjoyable and tailored so you leave with images you’ll actually want to use.
