Tom Hanslien Photography

Tom Hanslien is a specialist portrait photographer based in Thamesmead, working locally across Woolwich and Greenwich. His portrait practice is built on a problem-solving approach, a keen eye for composition and many years of experience delivering professional portraits for business and personal use. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn headshot, consistent staff portraits for a company website or a striking studio portrait, Tom positions each session to produce images that communicate confidence and character. What makes Tom’s portrait work distinctive is the blend of calm, collaborative direction and uncompromising finish. He works closely with clients — from individual professionals to business owners and art directors — to establish the right mood and look before the camera is even switched on. Sessions are relaxed and efficient, with clear pre-shoot planning around wardrobe, background and lighting so every headshot and business portrait feels authentic and appropriate for its intended use. Tom brings advanced post production and high-end retouching skills to every portrait assignment. Controlling the workflow from capture to final delivery ensures a consistent style and quality across all images; clients appreciate that he can deliver a truly finished product on schedule and on budget. If additional finishing is required, Tom’s retouching work (also showcased at his DigiSurgeon portfolio) keeps the process seamless and aligned with the original brief. How he works: a short pre-shoot consultation establishes your goals, followed by a studio or on-location session tailored to the brief. Tom uses considered lighting and composition to flatter without over-directing, encouraging natural expression so portraits feel genuine. After the shoot, selected files are professionally edited and supplied in formats ready for web, print or corporate use. Born and raised in Norway and trained in the UK, Tom’s visual sensibility is informed by travel and editorial experience — a love of storytelling that feeds into portraiture that is both refined and human. If you’re looking for a Thamesmead portrait studio that delivers professional headshots, business portraits and studio portraits with technical excellence and a personable approach, Tom Hanslien Photography offers specialist expertise you can rely on.
