Richard Bradbury

Richard Bradbury is a Chiswick‑based specialist in family photography, recognised for bringing editorial quality and a practiced eye to portraits of babies, children and whole families. With more than 25 years’ experience photographing people for advertising and editorial projects, Richard has translated that expertise into family work that feels beautiful, honest and timeless. What sets Richard apart is his approach: he applies the same storytelling instincts and technical excellence used for high‑end magazine and advertising shoots to everyday family moments. His Children Of London project and limited edition book demonstrate his commitment to capturing the personality and spirit of young subjects — images that are at once refined and warm. He uses his signature G.L.O.W. technique to create flattering, natural light and tones that make children and newborns look their best while preserving genuine expressions. Richard’s process is relaxed and collaborative. Sessions can be arranged on location around Chiswick and London or tailored to suit families who prefer a quieter, studio‑style environment. He focuses on creating a calm atmosphere where children feel comfortable and parents can enjoy the experience; this makes it easier to capture spontaneous interactions as well as composed family portraits. From newborns to teenagers, he plans each shoot to reflect your family’s character while delivering a cohesive set of images you’ll be proud to display. Post‑production is handled with care — Richard draws on an editorial workflow using Lightroom and Photoshop to enhance images while keeping them natural and true to life. He understands presentation and can advise on prints, framed pieces and keepsakes that best showcase your family portraits. Although family photography is his core focus, Richard’s wider background in portrait and commercial work informs every session, giving clients access to decades of experience in lighting, composition and client care. He also runs occasional workshops for photographers as a secondary activity, sharing techniques for photographing children and building a portrait business. Based in Chiswick and serving families across the UK, Richard Bradbury offers professional family photoshoots that combine editorial polish with a warm, human touch — images that tell your family’s story and stand the test of time.
