ISP Photography

ISP Photography specialises in portrait photography from our studio in Christchurch, Dorset. With over 30 years of photographic experience, Ian Pollen brings a practiced eye, calm direction and a detail-led approach to every portrait session — whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a corporate business portrait or publicity imagery for actors, models and musicians. Why choose ISP Photography? Because portraiture is a core specialism. I combine creative thinking, critical attention to detail and skilled post-production to deliver images that look authentic, polished and entirely aligned with your professional brand. My aim is to create portraits that communicate personality and professionalism in equal measure — images that work across websites, social media, marketing materials and editorial features. What makes the approach different is the balance of craft and conversation. I listen carefully to your brief, discuss the exact look you want and then plan a concise shoot that respects your time and objectives. Sessions are relaxed and collaborative: I build rapport quickly so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Practical options include studio shoots at our Christchurch space or on-location sessions around Dorset and throughout the UK if a specific environment is required. How I work: every portrait commission begins with a short briefing to agree mood, wardrobe and deliverables. On the day I provide clear direction, lighting choices tailored to your features and immediate feedback so we refine expressions and poses as we go. Tethered capture and on-screen review are available when clients want to check images in real time. Post-production is handled with the same care — tasteful retouching and colour grading to ensure skin tones and details are natural and publication-ready. I take pride in offering a professional and friendly service — listening to and understanding clients’ needs, producing the very best portraits within budget and on schedule. If you need headshot photography for corporate profiles, LinkedIn, publicity or creative portfolios, ISP Photography in Christchurch provides specialist portrait expertise and dependable delivery.
