HOLLI KALINA PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m Holli — a Cowes-based portrait specialist who believes great portraits come from calm, considered collaboration. With eight years’ freelance experience and a First Class BA(Hons) in Photography, I focus on creating relaxed, natural photographs that reflect how you really are. Whether you need personal portraiture, professional headshots for LinkedIn and company profiles, or a tailored studio session, my priority is to make the experience easy and enjoyable while delivering images with personality and presence. My approach is low-pressure and unhurried. Sessions are designed to give you time to get comfortable, try wardrobe changes, and explore looks that feel authentic. For headshots I’ll work with you to refine expressions and posture so your images communicate confidence and approachability — ideal for business profiles, corporate websites, and social media. If you prefer a studio environment we can create controlled, characterful lighting; if you’d rather be on location I regularly photograph across Cowes, the Isle of Wight and the South Coast to use natural settings that complement your portrait. I combine technical care with a thoughtful editing and delivery process. You’ll receive your selected images via a password-protected online gallery where you can download files and order prints. I aim for photographs that are both web-ready and print-quality, edited with a restrained, natural aesthetic so they remain timeless and true to you. My practice is informed by a broad range of photographic tools and a continuing commitment to craft — from contemporary digital methods to traditional printing techniques — all of which feed into how I see and make portraits. I am friendly, level-headed and collaborative: I’ll listen to your brief, offer relaxed guidance during the shoot, and deliver images that help you look and feel your best. If you’re seeking professional portraits or headshots made with care in Cowes or nearby, get in touch. I’m happy to discuss your goals, plan a session that suits your needs, and help you build a collection of portraits that genuinely represent you or your business.
