Portrait and Press Sessions

Connie Talbot

Press and portrait sessions for musicians and actors who need images that do more than look professional. The best press shot tells someone who you are before they've heard a note or seen a frame of your work - it captures not just your likeness, but something of the world you create. The atmosphere, the mood, the feeling that lives in your music or your performances. My sessions are built around finding that - the right environment, the right energy, and enough room to let something genuine come through.

Every session is built around you specifically - not a formula. I don't arrive with a single lighting setup I apply to everyone. Instead I think carefully about what will serve you and your work best, and I'm experienced enough to adapt if we need to change direction mid-shoot. On location the conditions are always different, but knowing how to read and work with available light is something I've developed across years of varied shoots.

What matters most to me is that you feel comfortable and confident in yourself - not performing for the camera, but genuinely at ease. When that happens, the images stop being about how you look and start being about who you are. The collaborative process is at the heart of everything I do, because the best results come when we're working together rather than me directing and you complying.

The goal is never to make you look polished for the sake of it. It's to make you look like the best version of yourself - which is a very different thing.
