San Vid Photography in Carshalton specialises in portrait studio sessions and professional headshots. Warm, creative, and painterly portraiture with a relaxed pre-session consultation.
San Vid Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Carshalton, GB — where creative vision meets a calm, confident experience. As award‑winning portrait photographers, Sandra and Vid craft timeless, magazine‑like images that feel both personal and polished. We position portrait work at the heart of what we do, from elegant personal sessions to professional headshots and LinkedIn portraits. Our approach is deliberately gentle and collaborative. Every portrait session begins with a free pre‑session consultation so we can understand your goals — whether you want a fine‑art personal portrait, a confident business headshot, or a studio image that blends creativity with professional polish. We guide you through styling and pose choices in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere so even first‑time subjects feel at ease and naturally themselves in front of the camera. Stylistically we favour a painterly, dreamy quality that elevates a simple portrait into something you’ll want on your wall and in your professional profile. Lighting, composition and subtle colour grading are used to create portraits with a timeless, magazine‑like finish. For business portraits we prioritise clarity, flattering light and expressions that convey competence and approachability — ideal for LinkedIn, company websites or personal branding. Sessions take place in our comfortable studio in Carshalton with options for styled indoor shoots or creative outdoor locations nearby. Every image is carefully edited and delivered as high‑resolution files so you can use them digitally or order fine prints, luxury photo books or wall‑mounted pieces. We focus on quality over quantity — producing portraits with emotional depth and professional impact. While portraiture is our specialty, we also bring the same artistic sensibility to family, maternity and wedding photography across Sutton and Surrey. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who combines technical skill, a creative eye and a warm, reassuring manner, San Vid Photography offers a uniquely personal studio experience in Carshalton. Contact us to arrange your free consultation and let’s create portraits that reflect who you truly are.
