Hi! My name is Marcelo, and I am a professional photographer located in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK.
I specialize in contemporary headshot photography and can shoot on location, whether it's at your home, office, or outdoors using my latest portable equipment and software.
Faces forge connections!
Your brain is hardwired to scan faces and make snap judgements. Without thinking, you recognize faces and decide whether to approach or avoid, trust or doubt. A quality headshot creates instant familiarity, helps build trust, repport, allowing you to forge relationships and influence perceptions. Headshot photography turns this science into art.

A good headshot projects, professionalism, confidence, personality, and approachability. It builds trust in business and makes memorable first impressions.

While anyone can snap a picture, professional photographers capture the essence of you. Careful lighting, flattering angles, and artful poses distinguish outstanding headshots from run-of-the-mill shots.
Professional headshots and environmental images translate across platforms, adapting to social media, web, print materials, and more.
Make yours memorable. Don't just get your picture taken - create an image with a contemporary impact!

Although my primary areas of operation are in Kent, Sussex, Central London, and Surrey, I am willing to travel internationally for photography projects. I believe that in today's world, having contemporary, simple, clean, and professional headshots is essential for online profiles, company branding, visual portfolios, and social media. I do not believe in forcing my clients to sit up straight and smile, as that's not my style. Instead, I encourage them to relax and enjoy the shoot. I work collaboratively with my clients to capture their best selves.
At the headshot photography session, I prioritize creating a comfortable and relaxed environment to put you at ease. I aim to make you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.
I understand that stepping in front of a camera can be intimidating for some people, so I strive to establish a positive and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we meet. I will guide you through the entire process, explaining each step and answering any questions you may have.
I believe that a strong connection between the photographer and the subject leads to better results. I take the time to engage with you, getting to know you and building a rapport. By establishing a friendly and professional relationship, I aim to create a comfortable space where you can relax and be yourself. To create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, I provide soothing music or any genre of your choice if requested. The right ambience can enhance your mood and help you feel more comfortable during the session. Feel free to let us know your musical preferences in advance!
Many people feel uncertain about how to pose in front of the camera. I will provide gentle direction and guidance throughout the session. I understand that everyone has different comfort levels and preferences.
I offer encouragement and provide feedback to boost your confidence throughout the session. My goal is to make you feel empowered and help you bring out your best self in front of the camera.
I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds and understand that each person has unique needs. My primary focus is on capturing your true honest essence and making the experience enjoyable for you. We will review the many shots together, and select the best to be professionally retouched to a high standard (see below) , then delivered to you electronically. I can of course provide you with office stock photography whilst there and more.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss your photography needs, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to assist you.
I hope to see you soon! - Marcelo
