Denise Senneca Photography

Denise Senneca is a portrait specialist based in Leytonstone, focused on creating professional portraits and business headshots that balance artistry with clear, career-minded purpose. With a Fine Arts degree from Rome and recognition in the Sony World Photography Awards, Denise brings an award-winning visual sensibility to every studio session and editorial portrait. Her work has been featured by institutions such as TATE and she has collaborated with organisations like Soho House and FUJIFILM UK — experience that informs a refined, confident approach to portraiture. Why choose Denise for your portrait or headshot? Denise approaches each session as a collaborative moment. Before a shoot she takes time to build rapport and understand how you want to present yourself — whether that’s a polished LinkedIn portrait, a relaxed creative headshot, or an editorial image for a portfolio. That thoughtful prep helps clients feel comfortable on set and allows authentic expressions to emerge, resulting in images that look natural and professional. What makes her approach special is the marriage of artistic training and technical precision. Comfortable with medium-format cameras and professional studio lighting, Denise composes images with attention to tone, colour and mood while keeping the subject’s personality front and centre. Her studio sessions are deliberately calm and conversational: she guides posture and expression in a way that puts even camera-shy clients at ease, ensuring headshots are both flattering and true-to-you. How she works: sessions are tailored to your needs — studio or location, corporate or creative — and delivered with professional care. Denise manages lighting, styling guidance and selective retouching so your final portraits are consistent across platforms and uses. For business clients she focuses on clarity and authority in the frame; for editorial portraits she explores narrative and character while maintaining a professional finish. As an artist and educator, Denise also leads occasional private lessons and studio workshops, sharing practical techniques that strengthen how clients and creatives approach portraiture. If you’re in Leytonstone or nearby and want portraits with creative integrity and a professional finish, Denise Senneca offers a specialist, client-centred portrait service that combines art-led vision with real-world results.
