London Headshot Photographer - Studio Portraits baritone classical singer, Patrick Keefe.

From the moment I arrived Anna made me feel at home and prepared. Everything was covid-secure but very hospitable, and she was ready to nail the vibe we wanted to convey. 

Anna went the extra mile to get me into the right mindset. A prog-rock playlist let me channel a Bond energy I certainly don't deserve, and her well-trained eye produced a range of fantastic shots for me to select from. Anna captured a dangerous but elegant quality that I aim to embody in many characters of the baritone repertoire. 

The best shoot I have ever done, and I would highly recommend her to any other young singers, actors and public figures in the London area.

Baritone classical singer Patrick got in touch for some headshot and portrait photographs, primarily for his new website. It is fantastic to see so many of the images we created together in the few hours he spent in my studio adorning the pages there.

My brief was to capture headshots for general profile and publicity purposes, and to produce some creative portraits with context.

The lighting and the mood was key here - rather than background and props. Patrick wanted to emulate the mood of one of opera’s greatest characters, Don Giovanni.

A thoroughly enjoyable challenge and heaps of fun too.
