Lookbooks and brand campaigns

For a clothing brand the job is straightforward to describe and hard to do well: the garment has to read clearly, the styling has to sell the idea, and the set has to be consistent enough to sit together on a product page or in a deck. I plan the shot list with you before the day so we know exactly how many looks we're getting through and how long each one has.

I'll work with your stylist and MUA if you have them, and can recommend people if you don't. For smaller brands shooting their first proper set, I'm happy to help scope it down to what actually gets used rather than shooting sixty looks you'll never post.

Model portfolio and test shoots

Portfolio work is about range. An agency wants to see that you can carry different moods, not six versions of the same expression. We'll plan two or three distinct looks and shoot them properly rather than rushing through more.

I direct throughout, which matters more in fashion than people expect — the difference between a usable frame and a dead one is often a very small adjustment in the shoulders or the chin.

Editing, usage and delivery

Editing is where fashion work is won or lost. Colour has to be accurate to the garment — a brand can't use an image where the product is the wrong shade — and retouching stays on the right side of natural.

Usage rights are set out in the quote. If the images are for paid advertising, a campaign, or resale, that's priced in from the start, so there's no awkward conversation later when the shoot performs well.

Shooting fashion around London

London gives you an unusual amount of range within a short travel radius, which matters when a lookbook needs several distinct backdrops in one day. East London around Hackney Wick and the canals gives you industrial texture; the Barbican and the South Bank give hard modern concrete and strong geometry; central gives you classic street backdrops; and the parks give you clean, quiet space when the clothes need to be the only thing happening.

Shooting on location instead of in a studio keeps the budget down and usually produces more interesting work, but it needs planning — permissions, footfall at different times of day, and a realistic route between locations so the day doesn't disappear into travel.

I cover all of Greater London and travel beyond it for campaign work. If a shoot genuinely needs a studio, I'll arrange one and it goes into the quote as a visible line rather than being buried in the total.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a fashion shoot cost in London?

Fashion pricing depends on the number of looks, shoot length, whether a studio or location is needed, how many final images you need retouched, and the usage licence for commercial work. I quote per project. Tell me what you're shooting and where it'll be used and I'll give you a number.

Do you have a studio?

I shoot on location and bring lighting, which covers most briefs and avoids adding studio hire to your budget. Where a shoot genuinely needs a studio, I'll arrange one and include the cost in the quote up front.

Can you help with styling, hair and makeup?

I work alongside stylists and MUAs regularly and can recommend people who suit the brief and budget. For brands who already have a team, I'll work to your direction.

Who owns the images and can I use them in ads?

You get the usage you've paid for, agreed in writing before the shoot. Standard delivery covers your own social and website use; paid advertising, campaign and resale usage is available and is priced into the quote.

How long does a fashion shoot take?

A simple lookbook of a few looks is usually a half day. Larger campaigns with multiple models, locations or changes run to a full day or more. I'll tell you honestly what your shot list realistically needs rather than under-quoting the time.
