Hello, I’m Emma
I’m a Hackney-based photographer working across London and beyond, creating natural, brand-led images for founders and teams.
You want photos that you actually like – and that you can use everywhere. The aim is simple: you look like yourself at your professional best, and your business looks confident, polished, and worth paying attention to.
Why it works
I combine practical planning with calm, confident direction on the day. We’ll get clear on what the photos are for before we shoot, so you end up with images that fit your brand and actually get used.
I’ve been photographing people professionally for 11+ years, with a background in journalism and charity comms – which basically means I’m good at putting people at ease quickly, asking the right questions, and noticing the details that matter.
It doesn’t have to be awkward
If you’re thinking “I hate being photographed”, you’re not alone. Most people feel exposed the second a camera comes out. What helps is having someone experienced behind the camera, who keeps things relaxed with clear guidance so you’re never left hanging. We’ll keep it moving, keep it genuine, and get you the photos you need.

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME
Former journalist
I’m trained to spot what matters quickly, ask the right questions, and help people feel at ease. Useful when you need natural photos without loads of faff.
Charity + human rights work
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, including indigenous communities in Latin America. It taught me cultural sensitivity and how to create a calm, respectful experience.
Parent (so I get logistics)
I understand busy weeks and limited headspace. Shoots are well-planned, efficient, and guided, so you get the photos you need without it taking over your life.
