Why every author needs professional portraits and personal brand photography
Andreea Tufescu
November 1, 2024

As a personal branding photographer in London over the past decade, I have had the honour to work with quite a number of authors, providing creative headshots, bespoke portraits and lifestyle visuals that help my clients elevate their professional image and boost their visibility. And since today is National Authors Day, I thought it would be a great opportunity to dive into the topic of professional photography and its importance and benefits for authors. […]

How to Choose the Best Personal Branding Photographer for You and Your Business
Andreea Tufescu
October 29, 2021

So you’ve researched the concept of Personal Brand Photography, you are now convinced of its benefits, and you’re extremely tempted to use its superpower to shine a new light on your business.

You are totally ready for a visual makeover and want an elevated digital presence that will totally WOW the world. Now what?

Whether you are a London founder, freelancer or solopreneur, a UK based business owner, an international expert or consultant, you most likely are the face of your own business.

And a professional Branding Photoshoot is a brilliant way to give your audience a chance to get to know you better; to get a feel of who you are, how you work, how you can help them solve a problem; and to build an emotional connection with you from the very first point of online contact. […]

What is Personal Brand Photography and Why Do You Need It?
Andreea Tufescu
May 13, 2021

Whether in London or abroad, as a Personal Brand Photographer I get asked these questions frequently: What exactly does Brand Photography mean? Is it business headshots? Is it corporate portraits? What should I expect from a branding photoshoot, and why should I consider investing in a session? What are the best tips you could offer in preparation for my personal brand shoot? and so on. Have you wondered about these things yourself? […]

An Introduction to Personal Branding for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners
Andreea Tufescu
April 9, 2021

Working as personal brand photographer over the last couple of years I’ve come across many nuances of this concept. Some people immediately think of a company’s name and logo, some may include the visual elements that form one’s identity (like colours, images, graphics, typography), some think of reputation, market leadership and promised benefits, while others emphasise the mental images, feelings and perceptions that an audience gets from interacting with a brand.

August 31, 2019

The ever popular Hampton Court Palace Food Festival returned this August Bank Holiday to entertain and entice its crowds with delicious food and drink offerings, live cooking demonstrations, kids’ activities, great music and a relaxing atmosphere in this amazing venue’s formal gardens.

No wonder the Historic Royal Palaces promised its visitors a ‘feast fit for a king’ - the festival was hosted in the home of one of the most notorious foodies, King Henry VIII. Festival goers were in for a real treat - the former royal residence and its grounds were a delight to explore in the lovely summer sunshine. […]

This year Honeypot embarked on their first darts tournament at the beautiful Fight Club in Victoria, bringing together some of their VIP and corporate supporters for an opportunity to network and raise money for the children supported by the charity.

I was absolutely thrilled to work with such a wonderful organisation as a London event photographer for their recent fundraiser in the city, which proved to be a real success. Guests got to challenge each other and play along actors Steven Mackintosh and Maggie O'Neill, while enjoying a cheerful night out and donating for a great cause: over £8,000 were raised with the help of the sponsors so that 15 new children would receive a full year’s support from the charity.

Professional Event Photography for Athena Network West London

June 16, 2018

Very recently event photography got an extra layer of special meaning as I provided my services to an institution that's very close to my heart, in a part of the city that I call home - Athena Network West London. The region includes 5 areas: Hammersmith, Chiswick, Shepherds Bush, Barnes and Ealing and it's run by Regional Director Lisa Woodward, the driving force behind LW Consulting. 

If it still needs an introduction, the Athena Network is all about helping women to develop stronger skills, more profitable businesses and create growth opportunities for career success.

Three years on from our first event photography collaboration, I had the pleasure of capturing yet another beautiful event - London City Orchestra's 5th anniversary concert! Led by the very talented conductor Pablo Urbina, the orchestra offered a lovely evening of classical music at Oxford Circus's Regent Hall, right at the heart of central London.

The theme for this year's spring programme was Death and Rebirth, a lovely exploration […]

July 2016, when summer descended upon its London fans...

What better reason to celebrate life with family, friends, music & good food than a sunny weekend in the capital, announcing the return of hot weather? And if you add a free, fun-filled, eclectic festival like Walthamstow Garden Party - it sounds just irresistible!

Marking the festival's third year in Lloyd Park in east London, 2016's programme got even bigger and better according to its organisers, with an exciting mix of local and international talent, showcasing the communities and creativity of Waltham Forest.[…]

A couple of weeks ago I got the wonderful opportunity to document my first RCM Sparks workshop through event photography. Although familiar with the Royal College of Music's innovative learning and participation programme, being there to capture the magic was a truly inspiring experience.

What makes SPARKS so amazing is that a bunch of dedicated and talented musicians work together with communities to widen participation in music. Young people from different backgrounds get connected through a performing art, under the guidance of the next generation of music educators.

The RCM Big Band directed by British jazz trumpeter Guy Barker and guest starring legendary drummer Dave Weckl. What a grand finale to an amazing day-long event and a truly unmissable opportunity for my life performance photography!

Hosted in the lovely Britten Theatre just opposite the Royal Albert Hall, the evening concert was a tribute to American jazz drummer Buddy Rich’s best known works. Alongside some world-class talent, young musicians from the Royal College of Music joined forces to close one of my favourite annual events in style - the Festival of Percussion. I just had to attach a photo memento of last nights's brilliant event!

A few weeks back in March I had the pleasure of photographing the young British composer / conductor Richard Miller professionally once again, as part of an exciting mix between lifestyle portraits and event photography.

Having met Richard a few years ago, our first collaboration happened when he first took on the conducting role from his senior Pablo Urbina, for the fantastic Royal College of Music Student Film Orchestra.  [...]

October 3, 2015

What is it about circus that's so mysterious, exciting, euphoria-inducing, scary and somehow poetic at the same time? Is it the after dark performances, is it the characters portrayed, the costumes or the routines? The element of danger, the feeling of naughtiness and pushing boundaries? It might as well be all of these things, collectively casting a spell that's always fascinated my photographic senses. [...]

Event Photography for Arizona State University - Thunderbird Alumni Evening in Chelsea London (Jul 2021)

October 02, 2024 in Event Photographer London, Event Photography, Business Photography, Networking Event, Alumni Event

In July 2021, I had the privilege of being commissioned as the London event photographer for a distinguished evening hosted by Thunderbird School of Global Management, part of Arizona State University. Held in the Michelin Building in Chelsea, this alumni reception marked the official launch of Thunderbird's London office and was attended by prominent alumni and faculty, including the Dean who flew in from the U.S.

The venue itself, with its iconic Art Deco design, provided a stylish and elegant backdrop to the evening, which included speeches, mingling, and celebrations over wine and canapés.

This intimate gathering of around 50 attendees aimed to strengthen the school's global alumni network and celebrate Thunderbird’s commitment to global leadership.

The event featured short speeches, including a few words from the Dean, followed by informal networking among the alumni - a perfect opportunity for Thunderbird to engage with its UK-based alumni and reaffirm its presence on the global stage.

As a professional event photographer, my mission was to capture the essence of this milestone occasion in a way that documented the excitement and joy of the attendees, as well as the success of this fabulous evening.

From key moments like the Dean’s address to candid shots of guests connecting and networking, I loved creating event visuals showcasing the sophistication and prestige of Thunderbird’s community. The event photos were used in press releases and across marketing and communication channels, helping to share the highlights of this landmark event.

For future clients seeking professional event photography in London, it would be my pleasure to help capture similar events. Storytelling, high-quality images that capture both the grandeur and the finer, more personal moments of business events are what I specialise in. Whether your event takes place in an iconic venue in Central London, or in a beautiful location in the UK, I’m here to help preserve the spirit of the occasion with timeless photography!
