The Solo Portrait Experience
A day made
entirely for you.
London's luxury portrait studio, an expert team,
and the most considered day you'll give yourself this year.
The heart of it
More than a portrait. A return to yourself.
Our Body & Soul experience is a full day held in your name: styled, directed and unhurried. It ends with a gallery of images you'll genuinely recognise. Most women arrive a little nervous and unsure they're “the type.” Every one of them leaves holding proof that they always were. This isn't about looking like someone else. It's about finally seeing yourself.

The work
A portrait of who you're becoming.
How it begins
A conversation, before anything else.
Every experience starts with a complimentary discovery call, a conversation to see whether Body & Soul is right for you.
If you choose to move ahead, we then collect a booking fee. This is a deposit for the product. It is how we book in your team and your day, in your name, and how we make sure the experience is right for you.
Your full artwork guide is always shared before you ever step into the studio: over email, over WhatsApp, and on a dedicated onboarding call where we walk through our bespoke collections with you, piece by piece. Everything is custom-curated to you, our collections evolve season by season, and finance options are always available.
The experience itself is exactly the same whichever you pay. Secure your place for £195 if you're invited into one of our next 15 spaces, or for £400 if you'd like a little more time. The £400 booking lets you plan up to six months ahead.
Collections start from £1,000, and most guests invest £2,000–£4,000 in artwork they treasure forever. You only ever choose the pieces you fall in love with.
A few days later, you return for a private reveal over Zoom. We look through your gallery together, and you choose only the pieces you want to live with, with every number in front of you.
Everything is printed by our female-owned print partner, who plants a tree for every piece, so the art you take home gives a little back too.
Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
From the moment you arrive, full of butterflies, the day is yours. Your photographer meets you in reception and brings you up to one of our two private studios, both on the same floor.
You're greeted by your make-up artist, the playlist we've put together for you is already playing, and you're handed a drink menu: a cocktail, mocktail, tea or coffee. The first hour is pure pampering. Expect a facial massage and make-up designed to enhance your features, never cover them, all while your photographer is there getting to know you.
As your hair is styled, you'll look through our artwork and albums and settle the outfits you've brought. We'll often pull pieces for you too. By the time you step in front of the camera, every look is resolved and you feel ready, excited, full of anticipation.
The session itself is around an hour, across about three different outfits or styles. At the end you have the option of fine-art or implied-nude portraits if you'd like. It's a specialty of ours, and always entirely your choice.
Around two hours after you arrived, you head back out with your hair and make-up still done. We always say go make plans and take yourself on a date, and let it all sink in. Your private reveal then follows three to seven days later, so you have time to digest before any decisions.
Yes. Right up until your onboarding Zoom call, where we walk through the collections together and find the right fit for you, your booking fee is fully refundable.
If you take that call and decide it isn't the right time, for any reason, that is completely okay. Full refunds are usually processed within 72 hours.
The booking fee is simply how we secure your date and your team. No session is confirmed without it.
This is exactly who we built the studio for. "Not photogenic" almost always means "never properly directed or lit."
Our entire process exists so you don't have to know what to do: the styling, the guidance in every frame, the unhurried pace. We do.
You just have to show up.
Absolutely not. Nudity is completely optional. Intimate portraiture means whatever feels empowering to you. Some women feel most themselves in lace and lingerie, others in a pantsuit and blazer, others in a beautiful dress, and others in nothing at all.
Many arrive not yet knowing what empowers them, and the whole day is about discovering that. Around 30% of women come in expecting to, and around 80% choose to in the moment. It is entirely in your hands, always.
You're never pushed, only gently guided, and you stay completely in control. You can plan to and change your mind, or decide you'd love to after all.
Our team is trained, deeply professional and endlessly caring, so you're supported whatever you choose. We photograph women of every age, size, ethnicity and culture, most of whom have never done anything like this before. This is about you.
Your images are revealed at your reveal and ordering appointment, three to seven days after your shoot. We do it all over Zoom, so you can be in the comfort of your own home.
We ask women to set aside around 90 minutes on average, but we never hold you to a set time. Some reveals are 45 minutes, some run for hours across a couple of days. Every woman is different, and you take exactly the time you need.
You don't need to know what you want coming in. By this point we've already talked through what you're drawn to and the budget that feels right for you, on your onboarding call before the shoot, so you're never going in blind. You'll even have left the studio with a printout of the collections, which you'll also have digitally.
Our art curators work for you, not the other way around. We usually show around 70 images from your full experience, roughly 15 to 20 per outfit. Come solo, just like the shoot, so the decisions are entirely your own.
We build in those few days on purpose, so you have time to digest and never make big decisions about the artwork or the finances until everything has settled.
Yes. Many of our guests are creating artwork for their homes, whether that's multiple pieces, statement wall art, or planning it alongside a partner, and for that our art curators can come to you. They'll bring samples and do your reveal, or plan your curation in person, right where the work will live.
We just need a little notice. We look after around 30 women a week, so we make sure the time is set aside, especially if we're travelling outside London for you.
That's why your reveal is always booked on your onboarding call, before your shoot, so the time is held and you never have to wait.
A day made entirely for you.
The Solo Portrait Experience is the heart of everything we do. When a part of you is curious, that's the part we work with. Watch a short film about the experience, then book a complimentary discovery call to see if it is right for you, now or one day. You have nothing to lose, and you never have to wonder: “What if?”
