Ian Olsson Photography

I specialise in portrait photography — creating professional, honest images that help people and businesses make a confident first impression. Based in Cambridge and qualified by the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP), I’ve been working full-time as a photographer for twenty years. My approach is calm, friendly and practical: I aim to make sessions comfortable, efficient and tailored to how you plan to use your portraits. Whether you need a contemporary headshot for LinkedIn, a studio-style portrait for your website, or business portraits for an entire team, I bring portable studio lighting and a straightforward workflow to your chosen location. I’ll set up at your offices or on location, guide subjects through a few simple, natural directions (I’m not into stiff posing) and deliver images that look polished without feeling overworked. Many clients tell me they’re surprised how relaxed and natural they feel during a session — that’s the atmosphere I work hard to create. My portrait sessions are designed around what matters to you: clear, usable images for websites and social media, consistent looks for team pages, and high-resolution files suitable for print. I offer basic retouching on request and provide unlimited usage rights so you can use the photos across your marketing channels. For peace of mind I run professional backup procedures from the moment of capture (my cameras record to two cards, with on-site and cloud backups thereafter), so your images are safe at every step. Working locally in Cambridgeshire and travelling across the UK, I pride myself on professional reliability and an easy working relationship. Before a shoot we’ll agree the brief and the look you want; on the day I focus on speed and quality so your team spends minimal time away from their desks. After the session, images are uploaded to a password-protected gallery for review and download. If you’re searching for a portrait specialist in Cambridge who combines technical experience, a relaxed manner and practical, business-focused results, let’s talk. I’m happy to discuss single headshots, multi-person corporate sessions or bespoke portrait work to suit your brand.
