Old Time Photo Studio London

At Old Time Photo Studio London we specialise in portrait photography — professional portraits, headshots and business portraits created with care, character and a touch of theatrical flair. Based in Pimlico, our studio combines the technical precision clients expect from a portrait studio with the immersive, playful atmosphere of our Time Machine experience. The result is confident, flattering images that stand out for both personal keepsakes and professional use. Why choose us? With over 22 years of experience developing the History Experience, our team knows how to put people at ease. Whether you need a clean corporate headshot for LinkedIn, a stylish business portrait or a creative personal portrait, we focus on posing, expression and lighting to capture each subject’s true presence. Our photographers are portrait specialists — skilled at directing camera-shy clients and refining details so every image looks both natural and polished. What makes our approach special is the studio’s character and service. Many clients enjoy our signature historic styling — period costume, props and careful styling that add personality for portrait sessions. Even when the brief is strictly professional, we bring that same attention to wardrobe, grooming and atmosphere, ensuring images that reflect your identity and confidence. Guests can expect a friendly, concierge-style welcome: we guide you through styling, suggest poses, and craft the lighting and background to suit the purpose of the portrait. How we work: sessions are relaxed and collaborative. We begin with a short conversation to understand your goals — whether a business portrait, headshot or a personal portrait — and then tailor lighting, framing and direction accordingly. During the shoot we offer clear guidance on posture and expression and review images together so we can refine the look in real time. After the session you’ll receive professionally edited images suitable for web, print or social profiles. We are proud to be a Pimlico portrait specialist that values craftsmanship and fun in equal measure. If you want a portrait session that combines technical expertise with an unforgettable studio experience, Old Time Photo Studio London delivers professional, memorable portraits that make an impression.
