Say So Photography

I’m Say So Photography — a Basford-based portrait specialist creating timeless, honest images that let your personality do the talking. My work centres on classic, natural portraiture and professional headshots: from confident LinkedIn and business portraits to creative studio sessions that reveal what makes you unique. Working from a purpose-built studio in Nottingham, I shape light and atmosphere to suit each client. My approach is calm and conversational: I guide poses, encourage real expression and take the time to find moments that feel genuine rather than forced. That relaxed environment helps even camera-shy clients relax and leaves you with portraits that look — and feel — like you. For business portraits and headshots I focus on clarity, flattering lighting and a professional finish that translates across websites, social profiles and marketing materials. I understand the needs of professionals and small businesses: images should be polished, approachable and consistent with your brand. If you need a specific look, we’ll discuss styling, backgrounds and the final use so every image works where you need it most. Creative portrait sessions are available for clients who want something more expressive. I work with a professional make-up artist for those shoots and bring a range of backdrops, lighting setups and props to craft the mood you’re after. While portraiture remains my speciality, I’m also experienced in family and studio-based work — always with the same focus on atmosphere, composition and storytelling. My process is straightforward and client-focused. I start with a brief conversation to understand your goals, followed by a relaxed studio session where I direct and support you throughout. After the shoot I carefully edit your selected images to ensure a clean, professional finish that highlights your best features. If you’re in Basford or the wider Nottingham area and want portrait photography that feels authentic and professional, I’d love to help.
