Specialist portrait studio in Harrow. John Styles combines 22 years’ experience with a relaxed, contemporary approach to create professional portraits, family images and headshots.
Pinner Photography is a specialist portrait studio based on the borders of Harrow and Pinner. With over twenty-two years behind the camera, John Styles has focused his practice on portrait and family photography, developing a contemporary style that still honours the best traditions of portraiture. Clients choose Pinner Photography because of the clear commitment to making portraits that feel personal, composed with care, and built to last as part of a family’s visual history. Why choose Pinner Photography? John brings experienced, steady direction to every shoot so that subjects — from camera-shy individuals to professional models — feel instantly more comfortable. The aim is to capture authentic expressions and considered poses rather than forced smiles. This is achieved through calm guidance, a conversational approach and attentive lighting tailored to each subject. The result is professional portraits that are both flattering and true to the personality of the sitter. How we work: sessions begin with a brief conversation about your expectations and any finished products you have in mind — prints, albums or digital headshots. Whether you prefer the controlled environment of our purpose-built studio or a suitable location elsewhere, Pinner Photography designs each session around you. In-studio, you’ll find a variety of backdrops, props and a relaxed atmosphere intended to put everyone at ease. John believes in producing images you will want to display and keep; many clients return year after year to build a pictorial record of their family. Business portraits and headshots are available alongside our core portrait work. While portraiture and family photography remain the studio’s principal focus, we provide professional headshots suitable for LinkedIn, corporate profiles and actor/model portfolios when required. Every image is finished with the same attention to composition and tone so that business portraits look professional without losing personality. Pinner Photography stands for “Memories For Life” — capturing moments you and your family will revisit for generations. From a first portrait session to an updated headshot, John Styles aims to make the experience comfortable, creative and reliably professional in Harrow and the surrounding area.
