A photographer who's been exactly where you are

After 20+ years building the visual identities of world-class brands — Johnson & Johnson, Center Parcs, Accenture, Facebook — I now do the opposite: helping founders, coaches, consultants, creatives and design-led businesses build a visual presence that opens doors.

Whether that's portrait and brand photography that captures who you are, or interior and architectural photography that shows the world what you've built — I bring presence, story and depth to everything I shoot.

I understand what it feels like to step out from behind the work and become the face of it. That's what makes the difference.

Based in Cambridge, I work with clients nationally and beyond. If you have a project in mind, you can contact me via the form or book an intro call. Either way, I'd love to hear from you.

Alongside commissioned work, I maintain an ongoing personal practice — a way of paying attention, experimenting, and staying visually sharp. View personal projects.

Kind words

  • A portrait of a mature man with light hair, wearing a white shirt and blue blazer, standing outdoors in front of a modern black building with vertical panels and a curved roof.

    Rajen helped me re-evaluate my value to entrepreneurs and took a superb set of photographs to support my personal brand. He dug into my background story to make sure we captured and conveyed the right aspects of my personality and expertise going forward.

    Georgina, Interiors

    Rajen completely understood my brand style and the brief for the project. He executed everything perfectly, and because of his background as a creative director, he also suggested additional ideas that could be beneficial to my brand. The results were exactly as I had hoped for.

  • A young man with short brown hair and blue eyes smiling at a camera, holding a remote control, with a smartphone mounted on a tripod in front of him, indoors with a blurred background.

    Ben, Filmmaker

    The final photos are fantastic, I’ve been using them across my website, proposals, and social media. Rajen is more than just a photographer; he really thinks about your brand and how the images can position you and your services in the best possible way. Highly recommended!

    I had the pleasure of working with Rajen, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Rajen not only assisted me in effectively articulating my story, but what truly stood out was his remarkable ability to translate that narrative into an effective art direction for our photo shoot.

  • A man with glasses and short brown hair looks into the camera, wearing a black jacket and casual t-shirt, standing against a plain background.

    Alistair, Kodehort

    The resulting images were more than just photographs; they captured my newfound self-assurance and the sheer enthusiasm I have for my work. The impact of Rajen's work on my professional image has been profound.

  • A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a black sleeveless top, sitting on a pink velvet chair against a plain light-colored wall. She is resting her chin on her right hand, looking directly at the camera with a slight smile.

    Emma, Big Bear Creative

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Brand Portrait Shoot with Founders Story. Rajen made me feel at ease throughout, which is no mean feat for this camera shy founder! He expertly captured the different aspects of my personality, and I'm so happy with the outcome

    Simon, Kofi

    What a joy it's been to work with Rajen and his team. It's so vital to invest in your own personal brand, not just the company you're building. Rajen made the experience enjoyable and energising.

  • A woman smiling, sitting on a light-colored sofa with her left hand resting on the sofa cushion, in front of a colorful abstract painting of blue, orange, yellow, and green shapes on a wall.

    Alijca, Alwa Design Studio

    Raj made the session incredibly relaxing and highly collaborative. The best parts of working with him was being able to view the photos as we went along. It allowed us to make real-time amendments to ensure the shots perfectly accommodated our specific photography needs. I am absolutely thrilled with the final photos.

  • A bald man with glasses and a light beard, wearing a dark green jacket, holding a glass of dark-colored beverage, standing indoors in front of a black laptop with some colorful objects and plants in the background.

    Lee, Exec Creative Director

    A really great experience working with Rajen. The photos were excellent and the process was really enjoyable all the way through. Despite being pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera he made me feel at ease - bringing out exactly the right characteristics I was looking for.

Fees and approach

Portrait sessions start from £550 — a professional presence, ready to use, built around a single focused session.

Brand and interior projects are scoped individually and priced around the outcome, complexity and usage each commission calls for, rather than a flat rate. Usage is part of what's being priced, not just the shoot itself — every project is different, so I shape each brief through conversation, providing a clear, tailored quote once I understand what you're looking to create and how the images will be used. (See "What licensing is included?" below for how usage and licensing work.)

How we work together

  • Close-up of a person writing notes with a pen in a notebook, with a smartphone resting on a wooden table.

    1. Discover & Intent

    We begin with a short conversation to understand what you need your images to achieve — for your brand, campaign, or personal story. Once we’re aligned, you’ll receive a clear proposal outlining scope, deliverables, and licensing options, so everything feels transparent from the start.

  • A dining table set with white plates, silverware, wine glasses, and a large green potted plant, with a kitchen in the background.

    2. Direction & Planning

    After booking is confirmed (with a signed agreement and deposit), we shape the visual direction together. This includes locations, wardrobe guidance, mood references, and any brand elements we should consider. This step ensures we’re aligned on tone, purpose, and the number of images you’ll receive.

  • Two men are having a conversation, on concrete stairs outside a brick building, one sitting on the stairs and the other, aa photographer is directing him in the photoshoot, with a wooden handrail and a wooden door in the background.

    3. Photoshoot Experience

    On the day, expect a calm, collaborative atmosphere. I guide the process whether for interiors or portraits, while leaving room for quiet, honest moments to emerge, ensuring we get a strong variety of images suitable for your intended use — whether that’s a website, editorial feature, or campaign.

  • An iPad screen displaying a photograph of a bedroom with a bed, decorative pillows, a painting, a small side table, a potted plant, and a wall-mounted shelf, taken from a desk next to a window with sunlight.

    4. Selection & editing

    After the shoot, I curate the strongest images and apply a considered edit. You’ll receive a private gallery where you can make your selections (your package includes a set number, with the option to add more). Each image is delivered with a standard usage licence, and extended licensing can be discussed if needed.

  • Screenshot of a digital photo gallery interface showing various collections with images of people, interiors, landscapes, and objects, each labeled with collection and client names.

    5. Delivery & Support

    You’ll receive your final images in both high-resolution and web-ready formats, ready for immediate use across your website, social, press, or marketing. If helpful, I can also advise on how to use the images across your brand so they work as hard as possible for you.

Your questions

  • Yes. I photograph artists, creative/design-led businesses, and entrepreneurs – whether you need portraits, interiors, or imagery for a brand campaign, editorial feature or personal commission.

  • I come to photography from a background in design and creative direction. That means I’m always thinking about composition, light, colour, proportion, and how images will be used – not just how they look in isolation. My approach is considered and collaborative, focused on creating work that communicates intent, character, and quality over time.

  • Once we’ve aligned on scope, you’ll receive a simple agreement and a 50% deposit invoice to secure your date. The balance is due on delivery of the final images.

  • Each project includes a set number of edited images, depending on the brief. After the shoot, you’ll review a curated gallery and select your favourites, with the option to add more if needed.

  • All commissioned work includes a standard usage licence — your own organic social channels, website, newsletter, PR distribution, brochures and general marketing, including boosting your own content to a wider audience.

    Dedicated advertising campaigns — paid campaigns built around specific ad creative, retargeting, large-format or outdoor use, and broadcast — sit outside standard licensing and are priced as an extension. If you're planning any kind of paid campaign, let me know early so it can be scoped and quoted alongside the shoot

  • I work closely and collaboratively with architects, designers, and creative teams, taking time to understand the thinking behind a project. Because we often share a common design language, the process feels calm and focused – allowing the photography to reflect intent, proportion, materiality, and how a space is meant to be experienced.

  • Of course. I’ll share simple guidance on wardrobe, locations, or styling to make sure everything feels right on the day.

  • Yes – I work across the UK and internationally. Travel is quoted openly and agreed before the shoot.

  • Yes. All final images are edited with a clean, natural approach. Extended retouching is available if needed, always handled subtly to maintain authenticity.

  • With reasonable notice, sessions can be rescheduled. Full details are included in your agreement.
