I’ve lived in West London for many years now, and around the corner from me is Richmond - one of my favourite London areas to shoot in. There’s something really lovely about this area - the riverside location, the bridge, the cobbled side streets, Richmond Park and of course, Richmond Hill (the views!!). 


As a local photographer, I’ve had the chance to work with both small business owners and teams in Richmond (home of the epic Apple TV show Ted Lasso!), and I never get tired of it.


What I love about Richmond is how versatile it is - in one session, we can capture clean, professional headshots with classic architecture backdrops – and then walk just a few minutes to get lifestyle portraits by the river or the cobbled side streets that feels fresh and approachable.


It’s the perfect mix if you want to show both the professional and human side of your brand.

Down the road from Richmond there’s Twickenham - another local favourite of mine. Twickenham is a bit like Richmond's fun little sister - similar but with a little more edge. It’s also the home to Patch, the vibrant co-working space I’m a member of and where I regularly take headshots and brand photos for small business owners and small teams. (see my mini-session page for upcoming dates!)


Right behind Patch is the very charming Church Street, full of independent shops, restaurants and cafe's. A few steps down there's the stunning riverside with York House Gardens right behind it. Together, Twickenham and Richmond makes great locations for a personal brand or team photo session.

I make all my sessions easy-going and collaborative - whether you know exactly what you want or need help planning, we’ll find locations and looks that feel true to you and your brand.


I usually shoot in natural light (or bring a small setup for headshots indoors), and we can even mix in a few video clips if you’re planning content for your website or Instagram.


If you’re based in Richmond, Twickenham, Kew or nearby, and looking to refresh your brand photos or headshots – I’d love to hear from you. Just drop me a message or email me at info@carinthakrar.com.
