Depending on what industry you are in, an informal studio portrait is ideal for website use. The friendly and relaxed nature of the image is ideal for creating a welcoming impression.

Naava is a birthing specialist and runs the Fertility Support Company.
A relaxed and approachable impression was essential to the feel of the pictures. Here’s a few favourite images from the portrait session.
Environmental portraits matter when the location tells you something about the subject. They can be more interesting than standard studio shots and can be enhanced by portable lighting, shot using daylight or, as is quite common, a mixture of the two.
