Headshot, Brand & Interior Photographer in Cambridge

Characterful photography and direction for people, brands and spaces. Because how you're seen shapes how you're understood.

The problem isn’t your work. It’s that the people who should find you can’t see it yet. When they can, they recognise you, trust you and choose you. I’m Rajen, a photographer and creative director in Cambridge, and I close that gap with photos and short video that show who you really are.

More than a photographer

Before photography, I spent over 20 years as a creative director at brand and marketing agencies. So I don't just turn up and shoot. I start with what you need to say, who needs to hear it and where the images will live.

Then I make it: photos, and short, simple video when it helps. All of it planned, consistent and ready to use across your website, campaigns, LinkedIn, recruitment and press.

How it works

1. We talk

A free 20-minute call about you or your business, and where the images will be used.

2. We plan and shoot

Locations, styling and a shot list, then a relaxed, guided session on the day.

3. You choose

Pick your favourites and I retouch them within 7 days.
