The Plastic Goldfish Company Limited

The Plastic Goldfish Company brings a tech-first, no-nonsense approach to portrait photography from our base in Cowley. Led by Chaz, whose two decades in tech and image processing shape everything we do, our portrait work is built around one simple idea: your portraits should do a job for your business. Whether you need confident LinkedIn headshots, on-brand team imagery or professional portraits for websites and marketing, we focus on images that look great and work commercially. What makes our portrait service different is the combination of technical expertise and an insistence on authenticity. We place a firm ban on fake smiles and staged stock-photo poses. Instead, we use portable studio kit to bring a calm, efficient studio to your office or workplace so people feel relaxed and look themselves — only better. Our experience with fast turnaround workflows means we deliver crisp, consistent results that slot straight into your website, press materials or social channels. We shoot to brief. Before a session we talk through how the images will be used, the tone you want to convey and any brand guidelines to honour. That briefing informs lighting, background choices and posing — all handled with our characteristic straight-forwardness. On shoot day we move quickly and professionally, guiding subjects with gentle direction so the final images are natural, confident and fully usable. Because we’re weirdly fond of kit, we push cameras and lighting to get the best possible result in tricky locations. We’ll also help with simple styling and group arrangements to make sure team galleries look cohesive. For businesses in Cowley, Oxfordshire and beyond, our portrait sessions are designed to be low-fuss and high-impact. If you want professional headshots and business portraits from a team that understands both the technical side of imagery and the commercial reasons you need great portraits, get in touch. We’re a straight-forward bunch — tell us your brief, and we’ll capture portraits that represent your people and your brand with honesty and style.
