“I'm not a model”

So many people come to the studio and start the conversation by saying they’re no model. Or they freeze, or they can’t really look as they wanted to in camera.

And that’s absolutely perfect. I often say modelling is a job for a reason. It requires training and specific skills. You can look any way you want, believe me. The key is figuring out what you want is. And I’m here to do that with you.

The first thing that needs to be clear is what you want, the Core Concept. Then we can start building up to the shoot you’ll really love. This is what we’ll call PERFORM YOURSELF: you can be anything you want, but we need to werk for it!

I’ll guide you in every step of the way, you’re already glowing. And if you ARE a model, we can do something amazing too. There’s art for everybody here.

Over 20 years I've built a system that gets anyone from "I don't know what to do" to a portrait they love. On a free call, we start it together.

  1. Core: we find what your shoot is really about. Your sensuality, your art, a character you've always wanted to play.

  2. Mood board: A strategy for referencing. It’s not a thousand images, but a rigorous look on your 5 favorites.

  3. Producing yourself: We’ll go over outfits, accessories, mood, vibe. From core, to reference to an actual plan.

  4. Body awareness: Practice, mirror, poses, and on the day lots of helpful guidance.

  5. Complicity: This is synchronized swimming, we’ll be serving this together.

Art photography in LONDON: THE BEST SHOOT is the one you create!

How does this work? First, we talk: a free 30-minute call about who you want to be. Then we design it together: mood board, outfits, set and light. Finally, you step onto my stage in Islington and perform yourself. Queer art portraiture, made with you. It all starts with a FREE CONSULTATION CALL.

You can me to guide you through those 5 steps for free in a consultation call or by signing up for my mailing list. Our little Babe Studio in Islington is a creative hub. A small space where we can build and host all your photography dreams. This is where you shine as the star you’re meant to be. Your portrait, your space.

Your photoshoot will be unique, it will reflect what you want. I will help you produce it, create a mood board, guide you through outfit choices, move through the studio, face the light and look absolutely stunning, as you GO PERFORM YOURSELF!

And the images will be yours to use however you want. We won’t ever publish you for any reason without express consent.

Let me guide you through it: We’ll begin with you, your idea, your goal, your needs. This is your space. We will talk about what you want, where you want to use your images, what’s the purpose and how do you want to express this in your images.

We will celebrate whoever you want to be, we will produce your ball, vogue with you. You just need to give me a call.

Who am I?

Hey babes! I have been a photographer for nearly 20 years now. My work has always been centered around people. My experience as a psychologist and a visual artist have convinced me this is all about connection and complicity.

There are no recipes, just an ongoing process of collaboration. So how does this start? You book a FREE CONSULTATION CALL. This is you and I (and whomever you want in your shoot) just collaborating to produce your idea. We can take it from there.

We’ll go over the basics, your aim, your goals, your favorite drink, how do you want to be perceived? And we can start planning your set, your outfits, make-up, the dragon you will ride, the songs you will sing, The sky is the limit. 3 meters of studio ceiling to be honest.

Some of our amazing guests and their favorite photos

  • Art portrait of a person wearing a golden sunburst crown and draped gold velvet, with gold leaf on the skin, against a dark backdrop.

    I approached Adrian with a very blunt idea, not only they helped me develop the vibe for the photoshoot but also surprised me with the results. Honestly the lighting and atmosphere Adrian created for the photoshoot was incredible. Adrian is also super friendly and respectful, they let me explore some poses and suggested me some others, it was just perfect, I had a great experience!

  • This was my first personal photoshoot, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. Working with Adrián was a fantastic experience. I had a rough idea of what I wanted but left plenty of room for creative freedom. Adrián took my idea, refined it, and guided me through the shoot, and the result was exactly what I’d been hoping for but hadn’t been able to put into words.

    I’ll definitely work with them again. I felt at home from the moment I stepped into SenorBabe Studio, and the atmosphere was so relaxed that posing in front of the camera felt like something I’d always done.

  • I couldn’t recommend Adrián’s Little Babe Studio enough! From the moment you walk in, you feel so welcome and comfortable. The studio has such a warm, cosy vibe, and you can really tell how much love and passion goes into everything. The whole experience feels relaxed, creative and personal, making it so easy to feel confident in front of the camera. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable while capturing beautiful shots, Little Babe Studio is the place to go!

  • Working with Adrián of Señor Babe is a delight, they are a master of their craft. I have had the pleasure of working with them on multiple projects and at a number of events and have loved every time we have had the opportunity to shoot together. Looking forward to the next one
