Made around Notting Hill

What I shoot in Notting Hill

why notting hill

Colour, frontage, a walkable route

Notting Hill hands you the colour for free. The pastel terraces along Lancaster Road, the cream Georgian fronts on Pembridge Square and the antiques run down Portobello give a portrait set that could not be anywhere else in London.

Most of what I shoot here is founders of beauty and fashion brands, plus editorial portraits meant for print. The walk takes about 90 minutes and finishes under the canopy in Holland Park for a cooler picture at the end.

Questions, answered

Is Notting Hill busy for portraits?

Lancaster Road fills up from about 10:00 in summer, with queues for the pastel fronts. I default to a 09:00 to 10:00 weekday slot then, and move to the side streets out of season.

Do you need a permit?

Handheld portrait work on a public pavement does not need one. Tripods, lighting stands and commercial campaigns need permission from Kensington and Chelsea council, and I sort that for commercial bookings. Holland Park is fine handheld, though commercial work there needs a Royal Parks permit.

Can you avoid the crowds on Portobello?

Yes. Weekday mornings before 10:00 for the antiques stretch. The Saturday market is good for energy but harder work if you want a clean editorial picture.

Where do we meet?

Notting Hill Gate tube on the Pembridge Road side by default. A cafe on Westbourne Grove or your hotel lobby works too, just say.

How long until I see the photos?

Seven working days as standard, or 48 hours on request. Everything lands in a private gallery for you to pick from.

What does a session cost?

£220 for a 45 minute editorial session, £380 for 90 minutes and £680 for a brand half day, all before VAT. Travel from my Fulham studio is included and there is no surcharge inside zones 1 and 2.
