Celebrity Portrait Photographer London

Global celebrity & editorial portrait photography by Simon Songhurst — experienced in working with high-profile talent across music, film, fashion and brand campaigns.

As an experienced Celebrity Portrait Photographer, I work with well-known talent across film, television, music and fashion, producing portrait work for editorial publications, campaigns and brand collaborations. My approach is calm, direct and professional — essential when photographing public figures and high-profile clients.

I create portrait photography for magazine covers, album artwork, promotional campaigns, press features, brand ambassador shoots and digital media. Whether shooting in studio or on location, I adapt to each environment quickly and work closely with teams to ensure the session runs smoothly and the talent feels comfortable and supported throughout the process.

Over the years, I’ve worked internationally with recognised names and creative teams across music labels, production companies, PR agencies, editorial titles and commercial brands. I understand the expectations, timings and responsibilities that come with celebrity photography — from controlled lighting setups to working efficiently within tight schedules.

My portrait style is built on simplicity, natural expression and a grounded visual tone. Sessions are shaped around the personality of the subject and the requirements of the project, whether producing expressive portrait work for magazines or more structured imagery for campaigns and promotional assets.
