London portrait specialist bringing a fashion-led sensibility to professional portraits and headshots. John Sansom creates confident, contemporary images for personal and business use.
I specialise in portrait photography from my London practice, bringing a fashion-informed eye to every headshot and personal portrait. With a background in fashion and beauty, my work sits at the intersection of editorial styling and honest portraiture — producing images that feel modern, purposeful and unmistakably you. Why choose me: I treat portrait sessions as a collaboration. Whether you need a refined headshot for LinkedIn, a striking personal portrait or professional imagery for business profiles, my experience shooting models and beauty editorials informs how I craft light, pose and expression to convey confidence and personality. Clients choose me because I help them look authentic while elevating their image with a polished, fashion-led finish. My approach: Sessions are relaxed, efficient and tailored to your needs. I prioritise communication before the shoot to understand your goals, then guide you through wardrobe, posture and subtle expression work on set so you feel comfortable and composed. I favour clean, flattering lighting and simple compositions that keep the focus on the subject — the detail work comes from how I direct eyes, shoulders and breath to create a natural, yet intentional result. What to expect: A professional, calm studio environment in London where precision meets warmth. I combine technical control with a personable, collaborative manner so clients from corporate professionals to creatives and models leave with portraits that work hard across profiles, portfolios and press. Images are delivered with retouching that respects skin texture and personality, giving a finished image that reads as both professional and genuine. Specialisation and value: As a portrait specialist rooted in fashion photography, I offer a distinct advantage — an editorial sensibility that lifts standard headshots into images with presence and purpose. If you want a portrait that reads as professional, contemporary and confidently you, we’ll create it together in London with clarity and care.
