Not Just a Headshot


The Business Portrait Project

I photograph professionals
stepping into their next chapter.

Polished. Personal. Strategic.
For entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals redefining how they show up.

This project is for those in transition—
launching something new,
stepping into visibility,
or refining their identity.

We don’t begin with the camera.
We begin with a conversation.
Then build a portrait experience around who you are
and what you want to become.


"Con diferencia, una de las mejores experiencias que se pueden reservar. Oliver es increíble y las imágenes que toma son simplemente increíbles. No importa si tienes confianza o eres tímido delante de la cámara, ¡él crea imágenes que te dejarán absolutamente boquiabierto!"

— Becky Sheeran, Talent Manager



Exhibition

The next exhibition is now fully curated

We’re now selecting a small number of additional entrepreneurs for private commissions and future features.


What this work creates

A portrait that feels considered.

Not performed.

A clearer sense of how you present—

visually, and beyond it.

A body of work you can use with confidence,

across the next phase of your business.

Selected pieces may be shared or published.

Most remain private.



Investment

Commissions are structured individually following a Discovery Call.

Most clients invest from £450+ depending on scope.


How we work

We begin with a conversation.

Not about photos—but about direction.

Who you are now.

What’s changing.

How you want to be seen.

From there, we shape the session around you.

Wardrobe, setting, tone—considered in advance.

Nothing improvised. Nothing generic.

On the day, the space is calm.

Guided, but not forced.

We take our time.

Alongside the portraits, we capture a short film—

a way for you to speak in your own words, with clarity.

Afterwards, you return for a private viewing.

To choose what stays.

Selected works may be featured in future exhibitions or publications.

But the focus is always the same:

Creating something that feels like you—

on your terms.

"Tuve mi sesión con Oliver a principios de esta semana ... No puedo recomendar él y el equipo lo suficiente. Fue un ambiente muy relajado, y él fue capaz de capturar algunas imágenes increíblemente franca en la parte superior de las imágenes que he solicitado específicamente. Cumplió con creces mis expectativas y además me presentó la mejor lista de reproducción del mundo".

— Phil Wood, Property Developer


Meet Oliver

Photographer. Creative Director. Former ad man. Always looking for the story beneath the surface.

“I’ve spent two decades behind the lens—photographing everyone from global brands to people who’ve never stood in front of a camera before.

What I’ve learned is this: the best portraits don’t come from posing. They come from presence.

That’s why this project exists. Not for show—but for clarity. For professionals ready to step forward with intention.

This isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a moment to stop, reflect, and decide how you want to be seen.

And I’ll guide you through it, start to finish.

“I had an incredible experience working with Oliver. The session was fun, relaxed, and nurturing—he created space for unified thinking and helped shape the vision for my brand. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their personal or professional image.”

— Penny Downes, Skin Expert



“Loved having our branding / family shoot with Oliver and stylist Kate. It was professional and also such a fun experience! My 86 year old nan can’t stop going on about how much she enjoyed it. Oliver made us all feel very at ease in front of the camera and and took great time and care throughout, including prior to the shoot at the branding consultation. The sneak peak we had of the images looked incredible and captured everyone beautifully.”

— Lily Fenn, Restauranteur

"Recientemente tuve una sesión de marca personal para mi nuevo negocio con Oliver y su equipo. Antes de la sesión estaba muy nerviosa y me sentía robótica para mis fotos, pero Oliver me dio la bienvenida y se puso en contacto conmigo varias veces, lo que me tranquilizó. Su equipo era amable y accesible y me cuidaron muy bien, haciéndome sentir guapa y preparada."
