Specialist portrait photographer in Egham creating professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and business portraits with a fine‑art eye. Relaxed, consultative sessions that produce confident, usable images.
I am Jo Scott — a portrait specialist based in Egham with twenty years’ experience photographing people for business and personal stories. My work sits at the intersection of fine art and commercial portraiture: I use an artist’s eye to craft images that feel current, timeless and genuinely you. Why choose me for your portrait? I bring a fine art sensibility to every session, combined with a practical understanding of how portraits are used in business. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a suite of business portraits for your website, or a versatile image bank for social media, I focus on expression, light and composition so the photographs do the job your marketing needs. My approach is consultative and reassuring. Before the shoot we have a pre-shoot chat to clarify who your audience is, what you want the images to say and where they will be used. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere, directing gently to coax natural expressions and confident poses. I predominantly work with natural light and studio‑style set ups on location, choosing backgrounds and colours that support your brand without overpowering you. What makes my portraits different is the blend of creative vision and business sense. With professional qualifications from the British Institute of Professional Photographers and a Fellowship in Fine Art Photography, I produce portraits that are beautiful and purposeful. I know how a photograph sits on a website, on LinkedIn, or in a brochure — and I plan shoots so the final images are ready to use. For individuals I offer focused sessions that typically cover a variety of looks and expressions; for teams I provide efficient, organised headshot days at offices or hired venues in Egham and the Home Counties. After the shoot you receive a curated online gallery to choose from, making selection straightforward. If you want portraits that connect with your audience and elevate your professional presence, I’d love to talk through your brief. My work is about making photography enjoyable, removing the awkwardness of being photographed and producing images that work hard for you.
