8687 Ltd is a Leytonstone-based portrait specialist committed to celebrating the beauty of life through thoughtfully crafted portraits. As a studio-rooted photography team led by Director Pavitra Malaiappan and photographer Abhay Kumar Akul, we place portrait work at the heart of what we do — creating professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and expressive studio portraits that reflect real personality and intent. Why choose 8687 for your portrait session? Our approach is customer-centric and collaborative: we start by listening to your goals — whether you need a crisp professional headshot for profiles and business use or a relaxed studio portrait that captures character and warmth. We believe great portraits are built on calm, confident connections. Our sessions prioritise comfort and natural expression, helping even camera-shy clients feel at ease so we can capture authentic moments. What makes our portrait work special is a blend of technical precision and human-focused storytelling. We craft images with careful lighting, considered composition and an editorial sensibility, while staying true to a personal, emotive style. This means your headshots will be polished and professional, while individual portraits will feel distinctive and genuine — images designed to resonate with viewers and support your personal or professional narrative. How we work: every portrait project begins with a short consultation to discuss tone, use and styling. On the day we guide posing and expression in a relaxed studio atmosphere, tailoring lighting and framing to suit the look you want. We also accommodate on-location shoots when a specific setting complements the portrait. Final images are refined with attention to detail, delivered with the clarity and consistency needed for online profiles, print portfolios or creative use. While portrait photography is our core expertise, we also offer business portrait options as a complementary service for professionals seeking branded imagery. Across all work, our aim is the same: to deliver exceptional photographic solutions that feel personal, professional and purposeful. If you’re in Leytonstone or elsewhere in the UK and looking for a portrait studio that combines warmth, craft and a customer-first approach, 8687 Ltd is ready to collaborate and create images that truly reflect you.
