Specialist portrait photographer based in Harlesden, Olga creates relaxed studio portraits and professional headshots. She works collaboratively with creatives and businesses to capture authentic, purposeful images.
Olga Lioncat is a Harlesden-based portrait specialist who focuses on capturing honest, expressive images that reflect who you are. Portraiture is her core practice: she works predominantly with people — musicians, actors, designers, models and other creatives — helping them feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Her approach favours natural light, quiet direction and a conversational, collaborative atmosphere that draws out genuine moments rather than forcing poses. Working from a cosy, versatile West London studio with abundant natural light, Olga tailor-makes each session to the person in front of the lens. She believes great portraits start long before the shutter clicks: a thoughtful pre-shoot conversation, gentle on-set guidance and sensitivity to mood and context are central to her process. The aim is always to create images that feel lived-in and true — portraits that work as personal keepsakes, portfolio images, or focused headshots for professional use. Although portraiture is the speciality, Olga also provides business portraits and professional headshots for clients needing a confident, contemporary look for LinkedIn, personal branding, or company profiles. These sessions keep the same calm, collaborative spirit: she helps clients refine the visual story they want to tell, then translates that into clear, polished photographs that fit both creative and professional briefs. What sets Olga apart is her blend of technical skill and quiet people-centred craft. Her work is informed by years of practice photographing performers and creatives, an eye for flattering, natural light, and a gentle directing style that puts subjects at ease. Many clients return for updates because her sessions feel comfortable, efficient and creatively generous. If you value portraits that prioritise authenticity, character and clear purpose, Olga offers a supportive, professional experience in Harlesden. She welcomes enquiries from individuals and businesses across London and beyond — whether you’re after a striking headshot, an atmospheric studio portrait, or a refreshed set of images for your brand, she will work with you to shape a session that reflects your story.
