A woman with dark hair and blue eyes, wearing a star-shaped necklace and a black top with shiny blue and green details, posing with her hands clenched into fists against a multicolored background with green, yellow, and blue hues.

A woman with dark skin, short hair, and makeup with bold eye makeup and dark lipstick, wearing a beige shirt partially covered by a green leather jacket, and gold jewelry, is reaching out towards the camera with red-painted nails, while looking directly at the camera against a dark background.

A young woman with long black hair and blue eyes is crouching against a plain, gradient gray background. She is wearing a white, slightly oversized shirt with watercolor-style splashes of color, and light-colored pants. She looks directly at the camera with a serious expression, and her right hand is holding the left hand of the viewer, which is extended towards her. She accessorizes with multiple bracelets and rings.

Joe Brown: A man with curly hair, a mustache, and a slight beard holding a black electric guitar, looking into the camera. He is wearing a sleeveless top with metal embellishments on the straps. The background is plain and muted.

Jo Quail: a woman with long, wavy brown hair wearing a black top with ruffled sleeves, holding her hands near her chest, her eyes closed against a soft green background.

Behind the Images

I'm Talie, a London-based photographer specialising in music, editorial and creative portraiture. Over the past decade I've photographed musicians, performers and creative professionals for magazines, album campaigns, cultural organisations and independent artists.

My approach is collaborative, relaxed and rooted in creating images that feel authentic to the people in front of the camera.

My work has appeared in magazines, album campaigns, cultural commissions and promotional releases across the UK and internationally.

Thinking about a shoot?

Whether you need press images, artwork, artist portraits or simply want to create something distinctive, I'd love to hear about your ideas. Images can be created for press coverage, release campaigns, Spotify and streaming platforms, EPKs, social media, websites and promotional materials.

Projects range from single-image portrait sessions to full editorial and campaign commissions.
"Talie has an uncanny ability to put you entirely at ease while still striving for technical and aesthetic excellence."
