Black and White Portrait Photography

A black and white photograph of a woman with the background in white, as she looks down peacefully

Working in the studio creating black and white portraits is a joy. I like the control, the reduction in pace compared to the street, and the relaxed feeling it can give clients. Here are some of the people I’ve worked with, and the black and white photography that arose from our shoots in London.

Black and White Studio Portrait Photography

These studio portraits were mainly taken at Green Lens Studios in London, where I have worked with actors, artists and friends. There are many benefits to studio photography, particularly if the studio is one of character, like Green Lens.
