Testimonials
I loved being photographed by Robin. He was kind and efficient and put me at ease. We talked about the tone of the photographs before shooting and this was incorporated during the session. His rates are very affordable, book him!
Lola Olufemi Robin did some excellent publicity shots ahead of my new book and I heartily recommend him
Juliet Jacques The lovely Robin of Makina Books fame did some headshots for me a couple of weeks ago — recommended for your glamorous but tasteful author portraits
Eliza Clark Robin took some new pics of me, and it was a really enjoyable and not-traumatic process! Book him, he is great
Katherine Angel If anyone wants to get their author photos/ portraits taken, I wouldn’t recommend anyone more than Robin
Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal Robin’s ease and talent behind the camera, and lovely character, creates a comfortable and generously held space for the subject of his photos. I highly recommend having your photo taken by him!
Sarah Shin Shooting with Robin felt natural, relaxed and really fun. We chatted throughout the shoot, and his subtle direction, perceptiveness and warmth made for something really enchanting and unique.
Maria Sledmere I absolutely loved being photographed by Robin. He has such a good sense of what will translate into great headshots with personality and life.
Bethany Rutter Robin was so lovely and professional from start to finish. His eye is fantastic, his demeanour is reassuring and together those things bring out the best in you – which always makes for great images!
