Fiona Fellows Photography

Fiona Fellows is a specialist portrait photographer based in Chalfont Saint Peter, offering a studio experience built around cinematic, 'filmic' portraits. Her practice grew naturally from a long career as a make-up artist in film and television, and she brings that industry-honed eye to every professional portrait and headshot she creates. If you want images that feel considered, camera-ready and unmistakably you, Fiona’s combined skills make her a natural choice. What sets Fiona apart is her make-up-first philosophy. Coming from the entertainment industry she understands how light and camera resolution influence skin, texture and expression. Preparing a subject for the camera—subtle grooming, considered makeup and continuity—is part of the craft. This approach allows her to work in a way that produces natural, powerful images with minimal heavy-handed digital correction. Her retouching is informed by real-world make-up techniques so the final portraits retain a truthful, polished quality rather than appearing over-processed. Fiona’s portrait work is rooted in collaboration. Before a session she welcomes conversation—via call, email or FaceTime—to plan wardrobe, looks and the overall mood you want to convey. In the studio she shoots tethered and encourages clients to review images as they’re made, so adjustments to expression, lighting or styling can be made in the moment. Her studio practice includes a range of headshot styles from natural daylight and classic studio looks to her pared-back 'the three' set (white, black and a complimentary colour) and a creative 'something different' option for clients who want alternative looks for branding or portfolios. Although portraiture is her core specialism, Fiona also works with clients who need business portraits and professional headshots for LinkedIn, corporate profiles or agencies—always with the same cinematic sensibility. Based in Chalfont Saint Peter with easy links to Gerrards Cross and Amersham, her studio offers a calm, professional environment where clients can relax and perform. Fiona is a creative member of Headshots.Matter and draws on decades of experience working with actors, directors and creatives in film and advertising. If you value portraits that combine technical craft, make-up expertise and a cinematic aesthetic, Fiona’s portrait studio in Chalfont Saint Peter delivers considered professional portraits and headshots that put you at ease and make a confident visual statement.
