Pricing for a portrait session in London varies more than people expect, and most of that variation comes down to a handful of factors rather than the photographer simply picking a number.
At LemonShark Studio, portrait session bookings run from £400 for a studio session, or from £1,000 for a branding session. That figure reflects the time on the ground, the number of images retouched, and how quickly you need everything delivered. Rush turnaround, additional locations and larger teams all move the number, but the baseline is set deliberately so you know what you’re paying for before you ask.
The honest advice: ask any photographer you’re considering exactly what is included in their quoted price, not just the headline number. Cheap rarely means simple. A quote that excludes retouching, travel or a second shooter often ends up costing more once those are added back in.

FAQs
Two common questions, answered.
Where do portrait sessions happen?
Most sessions run at LemonShark Studio, 769 Fulham Road SW6, five minutes from Parsons Green. On request sessions run on location anywhere in London: an office, a street, a park that means something.
What is a branding session?
A longer session, from £1,000, built for founders and small teams needing more than one look. Multiple setups and locations feed a full image library for a site and social channels.
