Natalie Martinez Photography

I’m Natalie — a Hertford-based portrait photographer who loves photographing people. I specialise in creating relaxed, natural portraits and professional headshots that feel authentic rather than staged. My approach draws on reportage and documentary instincts: I observe, wait for the moment, and gently guide so you can be yourself in front of the camera. Why choose me for your portrait or business headshot? I bring nearly a decade of professional experience and a client-led style that puts people at ease. I’ve worked with clients across London and the UK — from Soho House bookings to editorial commissions — and I use that experience to deliver images that sit comfortably on a LinkedIn profile, a company website, or in a personal portfolio. My aesthetic favours rich colours, classic vintage tones and a timeless, flattering feel that helps your portrait stand out while still feeling true to you. What makes my process different is the atmosphere I create. I don’t ask for forced poses. Instead I build a relaxed rapport — sharing a joke, finding a moment, and making small adjustments to light and position so the results look effortless. Whether we work in a studio-style setting, a thoughtfully chosen interior, or on location in Hertford or London, I’ll use the environment to enhance the portrait and add personality to each frame. For business portraits and headshots I focus on clarity, confidence and approachability. I’ll help you select subtle styling and framing that suit your profession and personal brand, and I make sure you leave with images you’re proud to share — from formal corporate profiles to more approachable creative portraits. If you’re after a professional portrait or LinkedIn headshot from a photographer who values authenticity, atmosphere and a relaxed, documentary-led method, let’s chat. Based in Hertford and regularly working across London and the UK, I’m happy to tailor a session to suit your needs and help you present your best self on camera.
