Suffolk Banks Photography

I’m Suffolk Banks — a portrait specialist based in Bury St Edmunds, proud to offer portrait studio sessions that focus on authenticity over artifice. My work sits where posed meets candid: whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a polished business portrait or a natural personal portrait, I create images that feel like you rather than a performance. Why choose me? I prioritise an easy, relaxed experience so that even camera-shy clients leave with portraits they love. My approach is conversational and low-pressure — I guide you with simple direction, use lighting and composition to flatter, and wait for those genuine micro-moments that make an image sing. I’ve honed a chameleon-like ability to blend into the background when needed and to step in with clear, calm guidance when a stronger pose is helpful. The result is professional headshots and business portraits that look authentic, professional and approachable. I specialise in portrait work and position it at the heart of what I do. Sessions are tailored to your aims: striking, studio-lit portraits for corporate profiles; more relaxed, lifestyle headshots for creatives; or clean, classic images for CVs and portfolios. I also work with local businesses to produce portraits that help teams present a unified, human face to clients and audiences. My candid, authentic aesthetic translates across styles — from tighter headshots to half-body business portraits — while always keeping your personality front and centre. Inclusivity and accessibility matter. I create a welcoming environment for everyone, and I’ll work with you to make the session comfortable — accommodating sensory or accessibility needs, and ensuring you feel seen and respected from the first message to the final image. How we’ll work together: we start with a quick pre-shoot chat to understand your goals, discuss styling and the look you want, then run a relaxed studio session in Bury St Edmunds where I keep the atmosphere friendly and focused. After the shoot I deliver curated images that you can use on LinkedIn, company websites, portfolios, or anywhere you represent yourself professionally. If you want portrait photography that honours who you are — natural, confident, and professional — let’s talk. Suffolk Banks Photography specialises in portraits that feel real and look exceptional.
