Father, Husband & Photographer

Hi - I’m Neil Raja, I have been a professional photographer for 15 years and have recently become a father to twin boys.

I’m drawn to natural light, real connection and the patience of shooting on film, slowing down, observing properly, and making each frame intentional.

My career:

  • I’ve worked with musicians, public figures and global brands such as Nike and adidas, where precision, discretion and delivering at the highest standard are non-negotiable.

  • I’ve run my own wedding photography business where the client was at the heart of everything we did.

  • I have captured people and their stories internationally for numerous projects and have been honoured to have worked with the charities that I have supported.

I’ve also won awards for my work:

  • The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize

  • Portrait of Britain

  • Cannes Advertising Award Gold Lion

Now:

I documented my wife’s maternity journey and the first year of our twin boys’ lives in a quiet, journalistic way, from anticipation to newborn stillness, and now into the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood.

Life at home is full; twin boys, our dog Sherlock, noise, laughter, and music and this gives me the empathy and understanding to photograph families.

Professional in craft. Personal in perspective. Always telling the story as it deserves to be told.
