Ten Good Reasons


to choose Robert James Taylor


1 - Friendly, Professional, Personal Service

When you hire me, you get to work with me personally - not a representative, affiliate, assistant or franchisee. I don’t hide behind a faceless corporation or soulless sales reps. I’m a real person - You can even see my photograph on the banner above. (Or a larger one on the About page.)

Similarly, I realise that each of my clients is unique and I strive to cater for every individual’s need, delivering a personalised service from first contact until you are completely satisfied with your final images.

2 - Efficient Turnaround

In most cases you can expect delivery of your raw shots within 24 hours of the shoot, and I aim to have every job completed to your satisfaction within 14 days.

3 - Money Back Guarantee

If you’re not absolutely delighted with the initial shots from your session, just let me know within 30 days of receiving them and I will provide a full refund, guaranteed.

4 - I’m Not Happy Until You Are!

Even after you have received your finished images, if there’s anything else I can do for you, all you have to do is ask. I’ll gladly work with you until you are completely satisfied with the quality of the images and service you have received. Both my integrity and quality of output matter to me immeasurably more than simply making a fast buck, and I take great pride in the satisfaction of my customers.

5 - I Only Use Professional Photographic Equipment

As the pixel count of consumer cameras creeps ever upward, many “semi-pro” photographers have appeared, expecting their point-and-shoot cameras to now be as readily capable as professional kit. However, your camera’s pixel count, while important, isn’t the whole story. Although so-called “prosumer” cameras may make for some fantastic holiday snaps, the quality of lenses and in-camera digital processing still falls far short of more costly pro-level gear. And that’s not even to mention the knowledge and expertise in how to use it.

Put simply, if a £200 camera could really do the job as well as a £2000 camera, why would professionals ever spend more than we have to? The fact is that professional gear exists for a reason: Used correctly, it produces a professional result. Anything less is just amateur.

6 - Years of Training & Experience Working Through the Lens

I first started taking photographs with a Halina 110 camera, given to me by my mum to take on a school trip to London in 1985, when I was ten years old. Three years later I took GCSE Photography, learnt to use an SLR and to develop and print my own images in the darkroom.

Since then I’ve put countless hours of photography experience under my belt, both in the studio and on location, as well as eight years working as a television studio director. These, coupled with my completion of professional courses, study of photography books and magazines, and thousands upon thousands of miles of global travel, all illustrate that I’m no newcomer to viewing life through a lens.

7 - Best Value For Headshots

I aim to offer not necessarily the cheapest headshots deals available, but definitely the best value on the web. From my comprehensive individual packages, to bespoke corporate portraits, I give you everything the job requires while keeping your costs to a minimum.

8 - Individual Eye

Okay, so any photographer can claim that this is what sets them apart from the rest. But if you like what you see in my portfolio, then I’m sure you’ll love what I can do for you!

9 - Excellent Communication

Got questions about how, what, why, where or when? Just ask! You can always get me via email, and as a client you will have my personal mobile number, so you always know I’m in touch.

10 - It’s Easy!

From all-inclusive packages to bespoke solutions; from booking online to my personalised service; and from our first contact to the final completion of your project, I concentrate on fulfilling your requirements and exceeding your expectations. In short, it’s all about you.
