Lauren Psyk

I’m Lauren Psyk — a Brighton portrait specialist who helps solopreneurs, founders and creatives show up with confident, professional portraits that actually feel like them. My work focuses on vibrant, colourful headshot photography and business portraits that are relaxed, authentic and unapologetically joyful. Why choose me? My background in marketing and journalism taught me how photos work in the real world: they build trust, tell stories and convert browsers into clients. I combine that insight with a photographer’s eye for light, colour and composition to create professional portraits and LinkedIn photos that stand out without feeling forced. My signature style is playful, natural and full of personality — headshots that are bold, not bland. My approach is collaborative and low-pressure. Before the session we talk about the story you want your images to tell and the practical uses you need them for. On the day I treat a shoot like a relaxed adventure: we try different backdrops, outfit changes and simple props, and I coach you through expressions and movement so you look comfortable and confident. I often shoot outdoors around Brighton — North Laine, the seafront and parks — because colour, texture and natural light bring out the best in portraits. After the shoot your images are lightly retouched in my signature style and delivered via a private online gallery for easy download and sharing. I love working with people who are the face of their business — designers, copywriters, coaches, therapists and other creatives who want brand photos that feel human. My aim is to capture the spark that makes you recognisable to your ideal clients: images that help people to know, like and trust you before they even reach out. Photography is my way of celebrating individuality. Based in Brighton, I value authenticity, warmth and a sense of fun — and I bring that energy to every portrait session. If you’d like a professional headshot or business portrait that reflects who you are, let’s talk about creating a set of images you’ll be proud to use across your website, LinkedIn and social media. Capture your spark and make your portrait photography work for your brand.
