Akragas Photography

I’m a portrait specialist based in Bedford whose principal aim is to capture stunning images that feel natural and true to you. With years of experience in portrait and fashion photography, I work in both studio and on location to create portraits that balance thoughtful composition, flattering light and subtle retouching. My approach is collaborative and relaxed. Before the shoot we’ll discuss your goals — whether you want a timeless family portrait, an editorial-style fashion image, or a confident business headshot for LinkedIn and professional profiles. I often travel to London for commercial and brand shoots, but I’m rooted in Bedford and know many local locations that provide beautiful backdrops for outdoor sessions. The studio offers a controlled environment when a consistent, polished look is required. During a session I focus on making people feel comfortable and present. I direct poses in a gentle, conversational way so expressions look authentic rather than forced. For fashion and portrait work I pay close attention to composition and tone; for business and headshot sessions I prioritise clarity, approachability and images that perform well across digital platforms. Every shoot includes professional retouching — I favour subtle edits that enhance without over-processing, ensuring portraits remain natural and beautiful. Technical quality matters: I deliver sharp, high-resolution files with careful colour and tonal treatment so your images look their best whether used online or in print. My experience in photo retouching allows me to refine each image to a high standard while preserving character and texture. If you’re looking for a Bedford-based portrait photographer who specialises in creating considered, compelling images—whether studio portraits, on-location sessions, fashion work or professional headshots—let’s talk. I aim to make every shoot a calm, creative experience and to deliver portraits that you’ll be proud to share and keep for years to come.
