Cotteridge Photo Co

Cotteridge Photo Co is a portrait specialist based in Acocks Green, bringing over 25 years of combined photographic experience to every session. We focus on creating natural, timeless portraits that reflect the real character of each person — whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a team business portrait, or a personal studio portrait to treasure. Why choose Cotteridge Photo Co? We position ourselves as portrait experts: our photographers know how to find flattering light, relaxed poses and genuine expressions quickly and consistently. That technical know-how is matched by a friendly, unpressured approach — many clients tell us they feel at ease straight away, even if they’re camera shy. The result is professional imagery that looks confident and authentic rather than overly staged. Our approach is straightforward and client-focused. Sessions can be held in our well-equipped Acocks Green studio or on location when a workplace or environmental portrait better suits your needs. We take time to understand the purpose of the portrait — from corporate profiles and LinkedIn headshots to classic studio portraits — and tailor lighting, background and direction to suit that brief. All images receive careful post-production: expert retouching and finishing that preserves a natural look while ensuring high-quality, ready-to-use files for online and print. While portrait and business headshots are our core specialisms, we also provide additional services to support your visual needs: product photography, family portraits, fine art prints and professional editing. These offerings complement our portrait work and allow clients to source multiple visual services from a single trusted studio in Birmingham. From first contact to final delivery we aim for a relaxed, collaborative experience. We’ll discuss your goals in advance, guide you through the session with clear direction, and deliver professionally edited images with options for prints or digital use. If you’re looking for a portrait studio in Acocks Green that combines technical skill, a personable manner and a commitment to timeless results, Cotteridge Photo Co specialises in making you look your best.
