HABITUS PORTRAITS
An editorial portrait studio installation that is remembered long after the room empties
A self-contained portrait studio, placed discreetly inside your event.
Your guests step in for three minutes and leave with a digital portrait they'll, print, frame, repost, and keep for years. Not a photo booth. Not a step-and-repeat. Portraiture.

The New Standard
Valets were once novel. Sommeliers, extravagant. Soundscaping, excessive.
Today, they're baseline. Expected at a certain altitude.
Studio portraiture at live events has crossed that threshold.
Above a certain guest calibre, attendance isn't about being present — it's about being seen. Not photographed. Seen.
A HABITUS installation signals you understood the assignment. It doesn't announce itself. It simply exists — like Assouline on the right tables, Aesop in the right washrooms.
Unspoken. Essential. Clarifying.

Why This Isn't What You Already Have
Every event has a photographer. Those images end up in a shared drive nobody revisits. Step-and-repeats get posted once. Stiff pose, branded backdrop, forgotten by morning.
A HABITUS portrait is something else entirely. It's the image your guests make their profile picture. The one they print, frame, and hang. The one they repost six months later because it still feels like the best version of themselves.
One evening produces hundreds of portraits, each one a piece of branded content with a shelf life measured in years, not hours.

- Immediate ElevationThe room's status shifts the moment guests recognize this isn't standard event photography. It's portraiture. Editorial. Reserved for occasions that warrant permanence.
- Something Worth KeepingNot digital files destined for just the digital camera folder. Here is heirloom-quality portraits guests frame, share selectively, treasure. The kind of keepsake that further elevate the experience and the memory of the day for years to come..
- Your Quiet AuthorityYou're not filling time—you're composing experience. This becomes the detail clients reference years later when explaining why they return to you.

London Portrait Season 2026
Each year, HABITUS in conjunction with the London Portrait Season opens a limited number of complimentary editorial portrait installations for select events across London and the Home Counties.
The 2026 Portrait Season runs from 28th February to 28th March. During this window, we partner with up to 10 events to deliver the full HABITUS installation — art direction, studio lighting, editorial portraiture — at no cost. Each guest receives their finished portrait within five working days as a high-resolution archival file, ready to print, frame, or use as a personal or brand asset.
We do this with intention. Every Portrait Season builds the portfolio and partnerships that define the year ahead. The events we select become part of the HABITUS story — and we become part of theirs.
