LocknLens testimonials

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was so lovely to have a session where the goals weren’t to get a “good photo” but was to have the thought, emotions and storytelling behind them all. And even with all that I can’t say I hate a single one of the headshots! Could not recommend Emile from LocknLens enough. Even before seeing the photos, I was already recommending the experience to friends as I knew the photos were going to turn out great and they turned out to be even better! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to have another session at some point in the future!

Absolutely amazing session. Made me feel safe and made me know my worth

The experience was amazing. I felt immediately comfortable with the friendly and approachable atmosphere. It was so fun and playful; I’m incredible happy with the results :)

A fantastic experience having a photo shoot taken by Emile - who created a relaxing and engaging atmosphere to capture authentic portrait pictures

I had such a wonderful time creating my new headshots with Emile. They really knew how to make me feel comfortable and honestly, it was just a really fun hour. I’m thrilled with the final result and would recommend wholeheartedly.

Emile's acting skills were truly remarkable, as he skillfully brought scenarios to life in my mind that were beautifully captured by the camera. Moreover, I found the entire process to be incredibly relaxing. It is evident that Emile is a multi-talented artist and photographer. My agent was extremely pleased with my new head shots. Highly recommend

Emile spent a lot of time with me, making me feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera - as I was very nervous. I'll be using the photos for my professional profiles and emails. Lovely photographer - lovely photos!!

I can thoroughly recommend Emile from LocknLens, not only are his photographs really great (modern, warm and crucially with a background as a performer himself, he works very hard to understand your casting bracket and take appropriate shots. By which I mean ones that truly represent who you are.) he’s also a wonderfully supportive creative presence at what can be a bit of stressful thing. Emile is great at making things calm and fun and making sure you get the most out of your session.

Emile has such a calming and friendly presence that made being photographed by him an absolute joy. I've never been very comfortable in front of a camera, but the guided meditation help ease me into the flow of the shoot. I felt able to express my needs for the session itself and its outcomes, and the portraits show that my wishes were listened to in every way. One million percent would recommend!

The session with Emile was brilliant. He took time to make sure I felt relaxed before we started and time to discuss what I wanted and different clothing options. Nothing felt forced, the shots felt very natural and easy. This was by far the best photoshoot experience I've ever had and the shots were amazing. There were lots to choose from and no pressure to choose quickly. Highly recommended.

Emile is incredible. He made the session relaxed and fun and actively ensured I felt the most like myself I've ever felt in a headshot session. His exercises at the start of the session left me feeling calm and empowered. I loved the range of photos I got from the session and how brilliant his communication was during the editing process. It was fab and you should book in with him!

I had a great session with Emile, he's lovely, personable and really made me feel relaxed during the shoot. I'm not a huge fan of having my photo taken but he genuinely made it a joyful experience and I absolutely love the results! I would recommend him to anyone looking for some beautiful, natural headshots.

What a beautiful session. Thank you for making something I was dreading getting done into a joyful day. Ive put my favourite picture in pride of place in our living room. Love love love the photos, Emile! xx
