What is solo portrait photoshoot?
A solo portrait photoshoot is a 45–60 minute session focused on one person, in a lifestyle, travel or editorial style. It's for travellers who want photographs of themselves in England rather than of the view, for anyone who needs new pictures of themselves for social media or a dating profile, and for people who simply want good portraits for once.
Sessions start from £200, with professionally edited digital images delivered in a private online gallery. Your photographer directs you throughout, so you don't need modelling experience. See portrait photoshoots in London, our portrait photographer page and the tourist photographer page for visitors.
What’s included
- 45–60 minutes with your photographer
- Lifestyle, travel or editorial style portraits
- Posing direction throughout
- Professionally edited digital images
- A private online gallery
Who it’s for
Solo travellers who are tired of selfies and want proper photographs of their trip. People who want fresh portraits for social media, a dating profile, a creative portfolio or a personal milestone. It also suits anyone who has never had professional portraits taken and wants to try it without a studio.
If the photos are mainly for your business, such as a website, press kit or LinkedIn, look at personal branding photography or corporate headshots instead, as they're planned around commercial use.

How to prepare
Decide what the photos are for, because that shapes everything: travel memories, a social feed and an editorial look each call for different locations and clothes. Save a few example images you like and share them with your photographer.
Bring an outfit you feel confident in, plus one alternative if there is time. Solid colours and simple textures photograph well. If you're visiting, tell your photographer which landmarks you care about and how you are getting around. Early mornings are the quietest time at busy places.
Where to have it photographed
Availability depends on photographers in each area and is confirmed with your quote.
Portraits: your questions
I’ve never modelled. Is that a problem?
No. Your photographer will tell you where to stand, what to do with your hands and where to look, and most of the best photos come once you are walking and talking rather than holding a pose.
Can I get photos at famous landmarks?
Usually, from public places. Some sites are private or managed and may need permission for professional photography, so your photographer will confirm what applies and suggest the quietest times.
I’m only in England for a few days. Can this fit around my trip?
Tell us your dates and where you are staying when you enquire. We will come back with the photographers available and, if you need the photos quickly, you can add rush delivery.
Can I change outfits?
One change usually fits in a 45–60 minute session. For more, ask about extra time.
