Sebastian Engert Photography

I'm Sebastian Engert, an Oxford-based portrait photographer working from Cowley and across the South of England. Portrait photography is one of my core specialities: I focus on professional headshots, business portraits and personal portraits that look natural, confident and genuinely like you. Over the years I’ve helped individuals, small businesses and larger organisations create images that work hard online — from LinkedIn profiles to company websites and promotional materials. What sets my portrait work apart is a simple, human-centred approach. I aim to make sessions relaxed and conversational so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. I bring a commercial eye to composition and lighting, honed by shoots for businesses and brands, while keeping the mood friendly and unobtrusive. The result is professional headshots and portraits that combine personality with polish — straightforward, flattering images that tell a real story about the person in front of the lens. How I work: before any session I take time to understand the brief — whether you need a crisp LinkedIn headshot, a suite of team portraits or a modern personal portrait for editorial use. On the day I prioritise clear direction, simple posing and natural light where possible, coupled with careful attention to detail in lighting and wardrobe guidance. I edit every image with care to deliver files ready for web and print, keeping skin tones natural and finishing the images to a consistent, professional standard. Clients choose me because I blend a commercial sensibility with a relaxed approach. I’ve worked with schools, businesses and creative professionals who appreciate images that feel authentic and usable — not over-styled. Testimonials often mention how comfortable people felt during shoots and how quickly they received polished results. If you’re in Cowley, Oxford or elsewhere in the UK and need headshots, LinkedIn photos or modern portraits that reflect who you are, get in touch. I’ll talk through the best format for your needs and how we can create images that support your professional or personal ambitions.
