Mark Chivers Photography

Mark Chivers is a West Ealing–based portrait specialist with more than 15 years’ experience creating professional portraits and headshots that genuinely reflect personality and purpose. Working from a relaxed studio environment or on-location across London and the UK, Mark focuses on quality over quantity: each session aims to produce a small set of outstanding images you’ll be proud to use for LinkedIn, company profiles, press, portfolios and personal branding. My approach is simple and client-centred. Before the shoot we’ll have a conversation to understand how you intend to use your portraits — corporate profile, creative portfolio or LinkedIn headshot — and I’ll tailor the lighting, background and direction to suit. Whether I’m using daylight, flash or a mix of both, the priority is always to create natural, confident expressions in a calm atmosphere. I pride myself on being friendly, approachable and charismatic; clients often tell me the studio sessions feel relaxed and even fun, which helps bring out authentic moments. I combine an editorial eye with technical precision. Having worked with corporate clients, charities and individuals, I know how to compose images that read well on screen and in print. Basic retouching is included to remove spots and blemishes while maintaining a natural look — your finished images are polished but still unmistakably you. After the shoot your images are delivered via a secure online gallery for easy selection and download, with professionally retouched files supplied according to your brief. I’m committed to excellent communication and reliable service: I typically respond to enquiries within 24 hours and take an under-promising, over-delivering approach to every job. My studio in West Ealing is conveniently located for West London and Central London clients, and I’m happy to travel for on-site business portrait assignments. If sustainability matters to you, you’ll appreciate my conscious approach to working and travel where practical. Choosing Mark Chivers Photography means choosing a portraitist who specialises in producing calm, confident images that work hard for your brand or career. If you want a portrait or headshot that looks natural, professional and intentional, let’s connect and plan a session that puts your best self forward.
