SALT

SALT is a Colchester-based portrait studio that specialises in professional portraits and headshot photography. We focus on creating images that feel honest, approachable and purposeful — portraits that work for people and for businesses. Whether you need a corporate headshot for LinkedIn, a refreshed staff portrait for your website, or a studio session to capture your professional image, SALT brings a considered, creative approach to every shoot. Why choose SALT for your portrait photography? We position ourselves as portrait specialists. Our experience in studio lighting, composition and retouching lets us craft images that are both flattering and true to the individual. We believe the best professional portraits are made when technical control meets a relaxed atmosphere: carefully shaped light and a calm, friendly session that helps subjects feel at ease. The result is confident, natural-looking headshots and business portraits that communicate competence and character. Our approach is collaborative from the start. Every booking begins with a brief discussion about purpose and audience — who will see the images and how they will be used. This ensures the session is tailored to your needs, whether that’s a crisp, executive look for senior leaders or a more relaxed style for creative professionals. On the day we guide poses, expressions and wardrobe choices, using simple, clear direction to create authentic moments. In-studio shoots are efficient and comfortable, with attention to detail in lighting and backdrop so every image looks polished. SALT also recognises the growing demand for multimedia profiles. As portrait specialists with a production background, we can integrate short portrait videos alongside stills when required, helping you present a cohesive personal brand across digital channels. Based in Colchester, we work with local professionals, agencies and businesses across the region. Our priority is delivering portraits that perform — images that make the right impression online, in print and in presentations. If you’re looking for expert portrait photography and professional headshots with a thoughtful, tailored process, SALT offers a studio experience designed to bring out the best in you.
