Curious Rose Photography

Curious Rose Photography is Laura’s portrait practice based in and around Birmingham — a place to make photographs that feel honest, creative and entirely uncringe. Portraiture is at the heart of Laura’s work: she brings a connection-first, artist-led approach to every shoot so the images reflect the real person behind the smile. If you want professional portraits, headshots or personal-brand photography that feel human, considered and a little playful, Laura is a specialist you can trust. Why choose Curious Rose for portrait photography in Birmingham? Laura combines over a decade of photographic experience with a soft, holistic way of working. Her sessions are relaxed and conversational; she draws on a curiosity of psychology, movement and art to put people at ease and to coax authentic moments. The result is portraits that are expressive, natural and beautifully framed — images that work for LinkedIn and websites but also stand as creative, personal pieces. What makes Laura’s approach special is the balance of documentary and gentle curation. She observes and documents how you are, then subtly encourages movement, expression and poses that feel true to you. Whether it’s a studio headshot, an artist studio visit, a personal branding shoot or a pop-up session, the emphasis is always on personality over stiff formality. Laura’s trademark is an “uncringe” aesthetic: no forced smiles, no cookie-cutter poses — just thoughtful direction and real human connection. How she works: every portrait session starts with conversation — a pre-shoot chat to understand your goals, your work and what you want the images to say. On the day she creates a warm, calm atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel confident. Sessions can happen in-studio, at your favourite location around Birmingham, or in your own creative space. Laura then carefully edits the final gallery to deliver images that are timeless, print-ready and tailored to your needs. Curious Rose is for people and brands who want portrait photography with personality and craft. If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, professional or family member seeking portraits that truly represent you — reach out to Laura in Birmingham and let’s create something honest, artistic and useful.
