Hi, I’m Van, a professional headshot and portrait photographer based in Brighton

I specialise in creating stress free headshot sessions whether you’re an actor, independent creative, or corporate client.

There are no time limits during your shoot; we’ll take the time needed to create a short list of images. From there, you’ll choose your final retouched favourites in your own time.

I’m with you every step of the way—from our initial consultation, through the shoot itself, and all the way to the final editing process.

  • Retouched portraits are airbrushed versions of the original version:

    There are many different levels of airbrushing — with headshots, it is important to keep an honest look, so we only remove temporary blemishes, reduce highlights & shadows and balance colour & tone
