What Makes a Great Creator Photoshoot
A great creator photo does two jobs at once: it looks like you, and it tells people what you're about before they've read a word. That means strong lighting, real personality and images that still work at thumbnail size. We shoot with your platforms in mind — tight crops that hold up as a profile picture, and space around you for text on thumbnails and banners — so nothing gets lost when it's cropped to a circle or a 9:16 frame.
Photos for Every Kind of Creator
- YouTubers and streamers who need thumbnail faces, channel art and a profile picture that still reads at a tiny size
- Influencers and TikTok creators building a consistent look across Instagram, TikTok and their link in bio
- Podcasters, authors and musicians after press portraits for features, interviews, show artwork and book jackets
- Creators pitching to brands who need a polished media kit that shows they're worth working with
Thumbnails, Media Kits & Brand Deals
Every session is delivered in both colour and black & white, in high resolution for press and print and ready to crop for any platform — square, portrait or 16:9. Tell us where the images are going before your shoot (thumbnails, a new channel banner, a media kit, a podcast cover) and we'll plan the framing around it, including clean space for text and graphics.
Packages & Pricing
- Standard — £350. A focused one-hour session — ideal for a sharp new profile picture and a set of core images.
- Premium — £550. A polished, editorial-quality session with professional hair and makeup, giving you a wider range of looks for your feed, thumbnails and media kit.
- Pro — £850. Up to 4 hours with full professional hair & makeup and multiple outfit changes — ideal for building a full content library or a brand-ready media kit in one go.
Preparing for Your Session
Bring the outfits your audience already knows you in, plus one or two pieces that take your look somewhere new — strong colours and interesting textures work brilliantly on camera. Leave anything with logos from brands you're not partnered with at home. If you have a signature prop, product or piece of kit, bring it along. Not used to being on this side of the camera? That's completely normal — you're directed through every pose and expression, no experience needed.
Our Woolwich Studio
Sessions run from our light-filled studio in Woolwich, SE London, a few minutes from the Elizabeth Line and Overground, with a private green room to change in and a pro makeup station on site. On-location sessions are available by request if you'd prefer to shoot elsewhere.

Yes. Tell us before your shoot and we’ll capture the big expressions and framing thumbnails need, with space around you for text, in high resolution so you can cut yourself out cleanly.

Wear what your audience recognises you in, plus a couple of options to change up the look. Bold colours and interesting textures work well on camera; leave logos from brands you’re not partnered with at home.
-
Premium and Pro sessions include full professional hair and makeup by our in-house artist. Standard doesn’t, but you’re welcome to arrive camera-ready in your usual look.
-
Not at all. Plenty of creators are far more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. You’re directed through every pose, angle and expression, no experience needed.
-
Yes. Bring the products, merch or kit you’re known for. They make great hero shots for brand pitches, launches and product posts.

-
Whenever your look, niche or branding changes, or at least once a year, so your profile pictures, media kit and press photos all show you as you are now.
-
Yes. Most sessions run at our Woolwich studio, but on-location shoots at a venue, your home setup or around London are available by request.
