Thara Jordana Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my base in Muswell Hill, London, with a strong focus on actor headshots and lifestyle portraits. As a photographer who is also a performer, I understand what casting directors and creative clients look for. That insight shapes every session — my aim is to capture the real person behind the image so your portrait feels honest, confident and ready to work. My approach is relaxed and conversational. I build a calm, fun atmosphere so you can forget the camera and be yourself. Whether you’re an actor updating your profile, a creative wanting lifestyle portraits, or someone who needs professional business headshots, I guide poses and expressions in a reassuring way so you get natural, flattering results. I use gentle direction rather than stiff posing, helping you find angles and tones that reflect your personality and professional needs. Style and craft matter: I focus on clean, expressive images that work across casting profiles, LinkedIn and company websites. My portrait work balances technical control with spontaneity — paying attention to light, composition and subtle expression so the final image reads well in both editorial and commercial contexts. While portraiture is my primary expertise, I also create polished business portraits when a professional, approachable image is required. Working with me is straightforward and personable. I listen to what you want to achieve, suggest looks and poses, and adapt the session to your comfort level. My sessions are collaborative: you can expect clear direction, creative ideas and an emphasis on producing images that represent how you want to be seen. I take care to make the experience positive and efficient so you leave with confidence in your images. Photography is my passion — born from a background in performance and shaped by years of portrait work. I love helping people present their best selves, whether that’s an actor’s subtle intensity, a relaxed lifestyle portrait, or a crisp business headshot. If you’re in Muswell Hill or nearby in London and seeking a portrait specialist who blends industry knowledge with a warm, supportive approach, I’d love to work with you.
