Studio Shotz

Studio Shotz is a boutique portrait studio based in Christchurch, Dorset, specialising in professional portraiture and business headshots. Run by Zelda de Hollander (BA Hons Commercial Photography), the studio blends technical expertise with a warm, personal approach to create images that feel both natural and polished. Why choose Studio Shotz? Zelda’s roots in commercial photography mean she treats every portrait as a piece of visual communication. She understands how subtle decisions in lighting, composition and expression influence how a person is perceived—whether for a personal portrait, a LinkedIn profile or a corporate headshot. Zelda’s work is lighting-led and modern, producing clean, well-lit images that stand out in digital and print environments. What makes the approach special is the relaxed, one-on-one experience. Studio Shotz operates as an appointment-only, private studio where clients are guided through the session in a calm, friendly atmosphere. Zelda has a gentle, conversational style that helps people relax in front of the camera, making it straightforward to capture authentic expressions and confident poses. The studio environment is intentionally informal and comfortable—designed to put clients, including business professionals who may dislike having their photo taken, at ease. How we work with clients: every portrait session begins with a short consultation to understand your aims—branding, corporate profiles, acting portfolios or social media presence. Sessions can be studio-based or arranged on location when required, and Zelda can advise on backgrounds, wardrobe choices and styling to ensure images match your intended use. After the shoot, clients review their images via a secure, password-protected online gallery and receive professionally edited, high-resolution files suitable for web and print. Studio Shotz’s credentials add peace of mind: professionally trained, fully insured, CRB checked and backed by years of experience working with individuals and local businesses across Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset area. Whether you need a striking personal portrait or a suite of consistent business headshots for your team, Studio Shotz combines technical skill and a personable touch to produce images that genuinely represent you and your brand.
