Report
I needed some new headshots for my business profile. Rob came to my house and put me at ease straightaway. Rob encouraged me to have a number of outfits and backgrounds, so that I had a good choice in selecting the best photos. I'm very pleased with the results and my colleagues have complemented me on the professional look of my new headshot photo. Thanks Rob!

Report
I can't recommend Rob highly enough. He did a session for me for my profile shot and as well as producing suberb results, he was charming and helpful as well as thoroughly professional. He came to my house with his portable studio and after setting up and putting me at ease, he took a huge variety of shots using different angles, backgrounds and lighting. Then I could log on to his website and choose my favourites, to which Rob then applied the final finishing process. Great photographer, great service.
