Studio and on-location portrait sessions in London. Ivan Weiss makes clients relaxed and real, delivering modern professional portraits and headshots for actors, executives and teams.
I specialise in portrait photography in London — creating modern, honest images that show who you really are. As a portrait specialist I focus on connection and simplicity: no gimmicks, no fake poses, no distractions. My work is built around guiding people out of stiffness and into natural expression so their portraits feel authentic and purposeful. My approach is deliberately straightforward. I spend time understanding what you need the portrait to communicate — whether you’re an actor needing a casting-ready headshot, a professional updating a LinkedIn photo, or a subject looking for a refined studio portrait. In the studio I create an atmosphere that’s calm and conversational, so even the most camera-shy clients relax. I’ll help with wardrobe choices, posture and small adjustments that make a big difference on camera. You’ll see the images as we shoot on the studio monitor and we pick the final frames together, with informed, objective guidance. Technical craft and human connection are equally important to me. I use lighting and composition to flatter your features and to shape mood, while keeping the image focused on you. The result is contemporary, professional portraits that work across websites, casting platforms and social profiles. For companies that need a consistent look, I offer on-location portrait sessions in London that deliver polished, standardised images for teams — organised to minimise disruption to your working day. Beyond client sessions I share what I’ve learned through practical workshops and an in-depth Table Portrait tutorial. If you’re a photographer looking to expand your portrait skillset, these resources explain the theory, lighting and post-production techniques I use in studio work. Based in Central London, a short walk from London Bridge, I aim to make the whole process simple: book a session, come to the studio (or I’ll come to you for on-location work), relax while I guide you, and choose the images you love. If you want a modern professional portrait that genuinely represents you, I’ll make sure your image means business — and feels like you.
