Raskin Studio

Raskin Studio is a specialist portrait photography practice led by Zahar Raskin, focused on capturing authentic, character-driven images in both studio and on-location settings in Boston, GB. With a background in design and advanced photographic training, Zahar combines creative lighting and refined portrait techniques to reveal the spark of each subject’s personality. His work is grounded in the belief that every individual has a unique character that can be explored and made visible through still images. Why choose Raskin Studio? Zahar’s experience—building RaskinStudio since 2009—means you get more than a technically strong image: you get portraits shaped by design sensibility, thoughtful composition and careful in-house retouching. The studio’s approach balances artistry and professionalism, producing portraits that work equally well as professional headshots, LinkedIn photos, actor headshots, or more personal, expressive portraits for families and individuals. What makes the approach special is its mix of creative lighting and a relaxed, consultative process. Sessions begin with a conversation to understand your goals, style and the image you want to project. Whether we shoot in the studio with controlled light or choose a picturesque outdoor location, Zahar directs with patience and clarity—helping even camera-shy clients feel comfortable and natural. Testimonials frequently highlight his personable, steady presence and ability to translate ideas into images that feel alive and genuine. How we work: every portrait begins with a pre-session consultation so we can plan mood, wardrobe and setting. On session day the aim is an easy, collaborative atmosphere where small adjustments in pose and light create authentic expressions. Post-session, all editing and digital retouching are handled in-house to ensure consistent quality and attention to detail. Rooted in Boston but informed by extensive travel and work with diverse clients, Raskin Studio brings a global sensibility to local portrait work. If you’re seeking professional headshots, a refreshed business portrait, or a thoughtful personal portrait session, Zahar offers a tailored, professional experience centred on bringing your best self to the frame.
