Owen Burley Photography

Owen Burley Photography is a Thamesmead-based portrait studio focused on one clear goal: producing professional, industry-standard headshots and portraits that truly represent you. As an actor and model himself, Owen brings first-hand industry knowledge to every session — he knows what casting directors, agents and corporate clients are looking for and how to present you in the best possible light. What sets Owen apart is his calm, friendly approach. He understands getting your photo taken can feel daunting, so he creates a warm, comforting atmosphere where clients can relax and be themselves. Sessions are conversational and playful when needed, guided by practical direction on posture, facial expression and outfit choice. Music, a cup of tea or coffee and even a cuddle with Tilly the therapy dog help ease nerves and keep the session natural and enjoyable. Owen’s style is about authentic, usable images rather than over-processed portraits. He balances flattering lighting, thoughtful composition and subtle retouching to preserve real skin texture and character while ensuring a polished final result. The studio setup includes a variety of backdrops and lighting options, allowing him to tailor each shoot to your casting, personal brand or business profile. Whether you need bold, editorial headshots, approachable corporate portraits or expressive actor shots, Owen positions you to stand out for the right reasons. Collaboration is central to the process. Owen listens to your goals, offers honest, experienced advice on styling and shot selection, and works efficiently to get a wide range of looks you can use across portfolios, casting platforms and LinkedIn. While portraiture is the core speciality, Owen also supports business portrait requests and can adapt the session to suit company branding or professional profiles. Based in Thamesmead with easy access from Woolwich, Owen Burley Photography combines technical skill, creative intuition and a personable studio experience. If you want headshots that feel like you — driven by industry know-how and produced in a relaxed, supportive environment — Owen is the specialist to help you make the right impression.
