Ian Pavey Photography

I’m Ian Pavey — a Clevedon-based portrait photographer with more than 20 years’ experience creating portraits that feel honest, relaxed and modern. My work is rooted in a friendly, conversational approach that helps people relax in front of the camera so I can capture real expression and presence rather than stiff poses. My portrait work is built around a simple aim: to deliver images you’ll want to keep and share. I favour a creative, contemporary style that balances considered composition with natural moments. Whether you’re booking a personal portrait, a family session or a professional headshot, I take the time to understand what matters to you — your personality, how the images will be used and the mood you want to convey. The way I work is straightforward and low-pressure. Before a session I’ll talk through ideas, locations and wardrobe to make sure you feel prepared. On the day I create a calm atmosphere and guide you with gentle direction so we capture a selection of images — from relaxed candids to more composed portraits — giving you choices that reflect different sides of you. I take pride in producing polished photographs while keeping the process enjoyable and personal. Although portrait photography is my primary focus, I also provide business portrait and professional headshot services to support local professionals and organisations. My business portraits are treated as a complementary offering: clean, professional images suitable for LinkedIn, company profiles and marketing materials, captured with the same attention to authenticity and style I bring to my personal portrait work. Based in Clevedon and serving North Somerset, Weston-super-Mare, Bristol and surrounding areas, I’m committed to delivering photography that you’ll treasure. If you value a relaxed, experienced photographer who prioritises real moments and a contemporary aesthetic, let’s talk about creating portraits that truly represent you.
