Present Practices

I'm Kris — photographer, storyteller, creator behind Present Practices, based in Hadley Wood and working across London and the UK. I specialise in portrait photography, with a particular focus on professional headshots and business portraits that feel calm, confident and unmistakably you. My work is rooted in presence and connection: I aim to make every session a space where you can feel authentic, seen and ready to step into your professional best. Why choose Present Practices for your portraits? My mindful approach blends technical craft with a gentle, conversational way of working. As someone who teaches and creates within the wellness community, I understand how posture, breath and ease show up in front of the camera. I use that insight to guide natural posing and body language so your photos communicate both competence and warmth — ideal for LinkedIn, team pages, press, or any business-facing profile. What makes my approach special is how I treat portrait sessions as a collaborative, strategic part of your brand. I don’t just take pictures; I help you shape how you show up visually. Before the shoot we plan wardrobe, locations or studio setups and discuss the kinds of images you need across social and web. On the day I offer gentle direction and cues so you look and feel relaxed — the result is professional headshots and portraits that work hard for your business while still feeling human and expressive. Working with me is calm, supportive and centred on your goals. Whether you need a crisp business portrait, a warm LinkedIn photo, or a set of professional headshots for a small team, I create imagery that elevates your online presence and saves you time in marketing. If you value authentic, brand-led portraits from a photographer who understands the wellness and creative community, let’s connect — I’d love to help you put forward images that reflect who you are and what you offer.
