Basildon portrait studio specialising in authentic, professional portraits and business headshots. Led by award‑winning photographer Tom Coles, we make subjects look confident and at ease.
We shoot portraits that feel like the people in them. Based in Basildon, Get Shot Studios is led by Tom Coles — an award‑winning director and photographer with over 15 years’ experience working with high‑profile clients and brands. That background gives us a rare blend of creative vision and a commercial understanding of how a portrait should read online, in print or on a business profile. Specialist portrait focus At Get Shot Studios we specialise in portrait photography: from expressive personal portraits to polished business headshots and LinkedIn images. Our core expertise also covers family, maternity and animal portraits, so whether you’re after a professional image that communicates credibility or a relaxed studio portrait that captures personality, you’re working with a photographer who lives and breathes portraiture. Why clients choose us Clients choose us because we combine a cinematic eye with a practical studio approach. Tom’s experience directing shoots for musicians, actors and major brands has taught him how to put people at ease, find the right light and compose images that tell a story. We pride ourselves on producing portraits that look natural, confident and unapologetically you — not overly retouched or staged. How we work with you Our sessions are collaborative and relaxed. We start by understanding your brief — whether it’s a headshot for a CV, a brand image for a founder, or a family portrait — then guide you through posing, expression and wardrobe choices to get the best results. In the studio we focus on connection: small adjustments, calm direction and a friendly atmosphere so even camera‑shy subjects feel comfortable. Final images and finishing We take care of the whole process from capture to finish. Images are expertly edited to enhance tone and clarity while preserving your look. For clients who want prints or art‑quality reproductions, we offer in‑studio printing and reproduction options to match the work’s intent. If you’re in Basildon or the surrounding area and want a portrait that works across personal and professional channels, Get Shot Studios offers specialist, professional portrait photography with an experienced creative at the helm.
