María Moreno's Bath portrait studio specialises in an editorial approach to professional portraits. Thoughtfully curated sessions produce timeless, expressive headshots and personal portraits.
As a portrait specialist based in Bath, María Moreno brings an editorial sensibility and an artist’s eye to every studio session. Her work focuses on revealing personality and presence—whether that’s a calm, natural headshot for a professional profile or a more expressive portrait for creative portfolios. María’s signature is elegant, thoughtfully curated imagery that feels both modern and timeless. Why choose María? Her background in fashion and visual design gives her portraits a refined compositional style: strong lines, considered lighting and subtle direction that put the person at the centre of the frame. She approaches each shoot as a collaborative creative brief, listening to your needs—acting and modelling portfolios, personal branding visuals or professional headshots—and translating them into clear visual concepts that reflect who you are. What makes the experience special is the gentle blend of preparation and spontaneity. María prepares moodboards and discusses styling and expression in advance, then creates a relaxed, conversational atmosphere in the studio where authentic moments can emerge. Clients consistently praise her ability to make people feel at ease in front of the camera, so even those who are nervous about posing leave with confident, natural images. How she works: every session is curated to fit your objectives. María guides posing and expression with precise direction, adjusts lighting and background to suit the mood, and refines images with careful retouching so final portraits look polished but real. Delivery focuses on quality over quantity—images that work across applications from printed portfolios to online profiles and LinkedIn headshots. Rooted in Bath, María also draws on her wider visual practice (including her 3D visualisation and interior design studio, Balula) to ensure each portrait session benefits from a strong aesthetic foundation. Whether you need a professional headshot, a personal portrait or images for an actor/model portfolio, María offers a studio experience that prioritises authenticity, craft and clarity of vision.
