Carla Cuomo Photography

Carla Cuomo is a specialist portrait photographer based in Islington, London, dedicated to creating studio portraits and professional headshots that feel both editorial and authentic. Her work sits at the intersection of portraiture and brand-facing imagery: she aims to capture personality, presence and confidence in each frame so clients look like the best version of themselves — whether for LinkedIn, a corporate profile or a creative portfolio. Her approach is purposeful and personal. Carla begins each portrait session with a short conversation to understand how you want to be seen — the professional impression to convey, the mood or aesthetic you prefer, and any practical needs for business or personal branding. In the studio she uses considered lighting and a calm, conversational manner to create a relaxed atmosphere where subjects can settle, perform naturally, and show genuine expression. The result is images that feel editorial in their composition and storytelling, yet grounded and approachable. Carla’s sessions are designed for real people as much as for models: she gives clear direction on posture, expression and subtle movement, while encouraging candid moments that reveal character. For business portraits and headshots, she focuses on clarity and professionalism—clean backgrounds, flattering but honest lighting, and subtle retouching that preserves individual traits. For creative portfolios and editorial-style portraits, she explores texture, tone and composition to produce distinctive imagery that stands out. Working with Carla is straightforward and collaborative. She balances technical craft—lighting, posing, framing—with empathy and an eye for detail. Images are carefully edited to maintain a natural finish that suits corporate profiles and creative use alike. Based in Islington, she is well placed to welcome clients from across London seeking a confident, contemporary portrait aesthetic. If you need a professional headshot, a polished business portrait or an editorial studio portrait that reflects your personality and purpose, Carla offers a focused, friendly experience tailored to how you want to be seen.
