Gail Fogarty Photography

Gail Fogarty is a portrait specialist based in Isleworth, GB, with over two decades of experience dedicated to creating professional, authentic images. Her work centres on portrait and business photography — studio headshots, cinematic portraits and on-location branding shoots — where the priority is always to present people as likeable, capable and trustworthy. Gail’s background as a former litigation solicitor informs a forensic attention to detail and a calm, reassuring manner. After studying photography and completing Advanced Portraiture with Joan Williams (renowned for BBC and royal commissions), she developed a coaching-led approach that puts clients at ease and produces confident, natural expressions. Technical excellence is expected; what sets Gail apart is the coaching, direction and collaborative planning she brings to every session so that the result truly reflects the individual or company brand. For professionals and businesses, Gail offers both studio sessions and a portable studio service at your workplace. She works closely with clients before the shoot to define the image they want to project and can liaise with web designers to ensure images fit digital and print needs. Sessions focus on expressions, posture and small adjustments that make a big difference on LinkedIn, corporate websites and marketing materials. Gail recommends an online makeup consult with makeup artist Alison Oswald to ensure clients are camera-ready using the products they already own — a pragmatic touch that helps clients relax and get the look they want. During shoots Gail provides clear, friendly guidance so even camera-shy subjects get great results quickly and enjoyably. While portrait and business photography are her core specialisms, Gail also photographs dogs, women’s rugby and provides school/college headshot days as occasional services — always applying the same calm, respectful approach. Her portraits are chosen by entrepreneurs, corporate teams, schools and individuals who value a professional image with personality. If you’re seeking a portrait photographer in Isleworth who combines technical skill, warm direction and a genuine interest in projecting your best professional self, Gail Fogarty offers a thoughtful, efficient and thoroughly professional experience tailored to your needs.
