Marta Jez photography

I’m Marta Jez — a Limehouse-based portrait photographer who loves creating natural, vibrant images that tell personal stories. I grew up in Poland and have made the UK my home since I was 20. Along the way I photographed family and friends, and those early moments with my own children became the heart of my approach: I value warmth, authenticity and the unposed smiles that say more than words. Why choose me for your portrait? I specialise in portrait photography with a focus on making sessions feel relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. My clients come to me when they want professional portraits or headshots that don’t look staged — images that reveal personality, confidence and a sense of ease. Whether you need a personal portrait, a studio family image, or a business headshot for LinkedIn, my goal is the same: to capture the person behind the face. What makes my approach special is its simplicity and honesty. I prefer natural light where possible and a clear, vibrant palette that complements the subject. I aim to create a calm atmosphere in the studio so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. My sessions are conversational and guided rather than directive, allowing real expressions to emerge while offering gentle prompts to shape flattering, professional results. How I work: sessions are friendly and collaborative. Before the shoot we discuss your goals — the look you want, how the images will be used, and any wardrobe or styling questions. On the day I focus on connection, small adjustments and moments that feel true to you. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to ensure colour, tone and clarity enhance the natural character of the portrait without over-processing. My photography is driven by a love of people and storytelling. As I often say, "Photography is the story I fail to put into words." If you’re in Limehouse or nearby and want a portrait or professional headshot that feels honest, modern and full of life, I’d love to work with you. Let’s create images that reflect who you are.
