As a portrait specialist based in Hornchurch, Tom Nowak approaches each session with a clear goal: to capture the essence of the person in front of the lens. Tom blends technical expertise with a friendly, low-pressure style so clients — whether professionals updating a LinkedIn photo or individuals wanting a timeless portrait — feel comfortable and look their best. He focuses on professional portraits and business headshots, using light, composition and a calm direction style to produce images that work across websites, company profiles and personal branding. Why choose Tom? His clients consistently praise his ability to put people at ease and to find authentic moments during a brief session. Tom believes great portraits come from simple conversations, careful attention to light, and subtle posing that highlights personality rather than forcing a look. He brings the same attention to detail whether shooting a corporate headshot for a team or creating a refined personal portrait. Every single picture is carefully post-processed to the highest standard and delivered in high resolution, ensuring final images are ready for digital and print use. How Tom works: the process begins with a short pre-shoot conversation to understand your needs — the tone you want, intended uses (LinkedIn, company website, press, portfolio) and any wardrobe or background preferences. On the day he creates a relaxed atmosphere, guides clients through natural poses and expressions, and focuses on capturing flattering, usable frames quickly and efficiently. After the shoot Tom selects and retouches the best images, keeping natural skin tones and preserving the personality in each portrait. Tom’s approach is practical and collaborative. He knows that professional portraits must be reliable, consistent and suitable for business use, so he tailors lighting and framing to the brief while keeping sessions friendly and stress-free.
