Enigma Portrait Photography

Enigma Portrait Photography is a Cheltenham-based portrait specialist led by Eoin Schmidt‑Martin. At the heart of the work is a single goal: to capture the real person in front of the camera. Eoin describes his approach as solving an enigma — using coaching, direction and a relaxed atmosphere to unlock personality and create images that genuinely reflect who you are. Whether you want fine art portraits or professional business headshots, the studio offers a considered combination of natural light and studio lighting, giving clients a wide range of looks to choose from. Each session is guided but unforced: Eoin works conversationally to put subjects at ease, encouraging natural expressions and confident poses rather than stiff, overly directed shots. This results in authentic, characterful photographs that work beautifully for personal portraits, family keepsakes and professional profiles. Clients choose Enigma for a thoughtful, premium experience. Sessions include attentive direction, careful lighting choices tailored to each client, and meticulous post‑production — every image is professionally edited and retouched for a clean, polished finish. The emphasis is on quality over quantity: images that feel timeless, sharp and true to the subject. Working with Eoin is straightforward and personable. From initial enquiries to the final delivery of images, he prioritises clear communication and a comfortable studio environment in Cheltenham. He adapts the shoot to your needs — whether you require classic, formal portraits for corporate use or a more creative, relaxed portrait series for personal projects. For business clients, the same portrait expertise is applied to headshots and professional imagery suitable for LinkedIn, company profiles and promotional materials. Passionate about portraiture, Eoin brings both technical skill and an empathetic eye to every session. If you want portraits that reveal character, look professional and are beautifully finished, Enigma Portrait Photography offers specialist portrait expertise in the heart of Cheltenham.
