Jamie Melville Photography

I’m Jamie Melville — a London-based photographer and artist (Associate, The Royal Photographic Society) working from my Pimlico studio to create considered, honest portraiture. Portraits are my core practice: I specialise in studio and professional headshot photography that balances craft, warmth and a clear sense of personality. My approach is straightforward and human. I aim to put people at ease so the images feel natural rather than staged. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a creative portfolio portrait or a personal studio session, I work collaboratively to shape a look that suits you. I combine a fine-art sensibility with documentary instincts — lighting, composition and retouching are used to support the story of the person in front of the camera, not to hide it. Working with me is a relaxed, purposeful process. We begin with a conversation about how you want to be seen: the mood, clothing, and any specific uses for the images. In the studio I’ll guide you through comfortable, flattering poses and subtle direction so you can be yourself. I offer attentive, professional editing to deliver high-resolution images that feel authentic and ready for web, print and profiles. Privacy and respect are central — every portrait session is handled with care and discretion. I bring a mix of technical experience and creative thinking to every session. My background in documentary and fine art photography informs how I frame moments and find nuance in expression; my commercial work ensures images are polished and practical for business use. The result is portraiture that works hard for you — images that communicate competence, character and approachability. If you’re in Pimlico or anywhere in central London and want portrait photography rooted in craft and connection, let’s talk. I’m happy to advise on styling, retouching preferences and best formats for online profiles or printed portfolios. Booking a portrait session means investing in imagery that reflects who you are — thoughtfully made, professionally finished, and ready to represent you with confidence.
