About: Eliot Siegel

Welcome to my website. My name is Eliot Siegel, and I’m an experienced, well-published Portrait Photographer in London. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to indulge myself in my favourite medium, photography, shooting men, women, children and celebrities for many  fascinating years.

I’ve photographed numerous interesting and diverse personalities and will always be able to look back and treasure the portraits I’ve taken. I’ve photographed Angelina Jolie in the desert of Arizona, Charles Dance for GQ, Tess Daly on Pall Mall in London, Damian Lewis at the Barbican Theatre, Kelly Brook in San Torini, Martin Amis, Gary Lineker, Kate Moss, Janice Dickenson and Sir Georg Solti as well as thousands of faces less known but just as important to me.

I believe there are several critical factors involved in achieving a memorable portrait. The most important of these is the need to quickly make your subject as comfortable and relaxed as possible. A calm, fun, working relationship needs to be created quickly and organically to make the most of our time together.  I am
determined to bring out the best in all my subjects, and I work tirelessly to achieve this.

Secondly, a portrait photographer needs to be able to manipulate any kind of natural light to his / her advantage. The ability to shape available light to create lovely images regardless of the weather means far fewer restrictions, especially in the variable British landscape. Understanding how light affects our physical appearance and how to make it work to our advantage is something that comes with experience, and I’m proud to say that I use every angle and trick, not only make my subjects look as interesting as they are, but also their most attractive.

I’m a Portrait Photographer in London but I’ve lived and worked as a photographer all over the world;  from Paris and Milan, to New York and Madrid, and have been commissioned by magazines such as GQ, Esquire, British Vogue, She, Italian Men’s Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and many more.

Please feel free to also browse my other website to see my Fine Art Photography,
an expansion of my passion for the medium.

I hope you’ll consider letting me work some magic to create images of you and your family that are more than memorable. I’d love to hear from you,

Trust me to tell your story.
