About
Darius Jéan. BA Hons Psychology and Media.
MY MISSION
My mission is to educate professionals on the importance of the first impression. Constantly trying to drum home the message that having an unpolished online representation does not create a positive experience for potential prospects. Aiming to highlight the detrimental effect caused when your headshot gives people reason to question your credibility and expertise.
MY EXPERIENCE
My journey into photography started immediately after I left school. I can’t remember wanting to be anything else. I deviated after 10 years of processing and printing for the likes of Lord Snowdon, Thames Television and the Fleet Street Rags in the London darkroom Centre in Hatton Garden, London. After many years I found my way back to my true love. I have a passion for creating compelling images that represent my clients in the best way possible. I deliver professional headshots that are consistent across all platforms; LinkedIn, websites, social media and more.
HAVE FUN!
Having fun is a fundamental part of my process. Most people feel uncomfortable having their picture taken because of negative past experiences. My mission is to create new memory of being photographed, one that is driven by Psychology and facial expression.
FAQS
What should I wear for a headshot?
You should wear clothing that is clean, lint free, neat. New if possible and must be appropriate for the industry or purpose of the headshot. Solid colours, nonreflective options are recommended. Patterns should be avoided.

How much does a headshot cost?
The price of headshot varies depending on the location, photographer’s experience, lighting equipment used, number of shots required, provide retouching to each shot, and whether hair and makeup services are included. My prices start from £150 for single person, from £300 for businesses.

At my sessions we have the option for you to view images during the shoot to provide feedback. Discuss your likes and dislikes. This way we can see the progress and rest assured that we have images you love before you leave.
TESTIMONIALS
I highly recommend Darius – he took a number of headshots for me, To be honest I had no idea what to expect as I had never done anything like this before. Darius was just brilliant, he immediately put me at my ease and helped me to relax, It’s fair to say that I haven’t laughed that much for a while! Is communication throughout booking my session, during the session and then sending me the chosen photos. He also takes a great photo and i highly recommend him to anyone wanting to present the best image of themselves.

Darius, from the time of meeting him to the end of my photo shoot I was put at complete ease, what an amazing character. His photos captivate me perfectly and we had great fun capturing these moments with his creative ideas.
He is an excellent photographer with a very keen eye to detail ensuring that the lighting, composition and everything else in between worked perfectly to convey the right message. I was stunned at how captivating these photos are and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extra special photographer.
