Nassau Street Studios

Nassau Street Studios is a specialist portrait studio rooted in central London. Run by photographers Ben and Rik, the studio positions portrait work — particularly business and professional headshots — at the centre of everything they do. Their approach is built on experience, considered lighting and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that helps every client feel at ease in front of the camera. Why choose Nassau Street Studios? Ben and Rik work as a two‑person team, combining over twenty years of portrait experience to deliver refined, flattering images with real personality. They favour a crafted use of both studio and natural light so portraits have shape, warmth and a contemporary, professional tone — ideal for LinkedIn, corporate profiles, websites and actors seeking strong promotional imagery. What makes their approach special is attention to detail and a consistent, signature edit. Sessions are guided and calm rather than rushed: the photographers take time to find the expression and pose that best conveys the subject’s character. Final images are treated with subtle retouching and grading in both colour and black‑and‑white, producing photographs that look natural yet polished and ready for online and print use. How they work with clients is straightforward and collaborative. The Kennington studio is an informal, welcoming space where clients are put at their ease before and during the shoot. When a more contextual portrait is required, Ben and Rik also shoot on location around London using a portable lighting and backdrop setup — bringing studio quality into offices or outdoor environments to create environmental headshots that reflect brand and setting. They regularly work with clients from corporate and creative sectors and have delivered portrait work for organisations such as PwC, LinkedIn and Visa. At the heart of their practice is a belief that professional portraits should be crafted, not generic. Whether you need a business portrait for corporate use or a polished headshot for personal branding, Nassau Street Studios combines technical skill, a calm client experience and a signature aesthetic to produce images that communicate confidence and authenticity.
