Shariq Siddiqui, Photographer.

Hi! I'm a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in London, working on commercial, corporate and editorial assignments. My clients include large corporations, creative and communications agencies, publications, and entrepreneurs. You'll find me as much as at ease in a boardroom as the streets of Mumbai.

I'm most interested in people and their stories: I'm fascinated by the things they do, and what their experience of life makes them feel. I'm always trying to find beauty and meaning amidst the clutter around us, and ultimately trying to make narrative sense of our world. I work hard to maintain an efficient and scalable workflow, and yet I'm more likely to talk about light and vision than my tools.

You'll find my images crisp yet approachable, and you'll find me to be a communicative, resourceful and reliable creative partner. Let's talk.

This is Shariq's testimonial on our work together:

"Raffaela has a gift for distilling her vast experience into practical, actionable advice. She is genuinely devoted to photography and wants photographers to be able to refine their vision and do well. Raffaela is on top of the current direction of the field, not just in terms of aesthetics but also business practices and a feel for what works in today's world. I've benefited from her advice on editing photos into a tighter edit that flows well, as well as marketing workflow that generates results. Photographers are notorious for finding these crucial areas daunting and often end up avoiding them; working with Raffaela is like having a trusted friend who understands you and can advise you on navigating these areas with a simple and effective approach. She is kind and generous, and a pleasure to be around."
