Amy Cooke Photo and Film

Amy Cooke Photo and Film is a portrait specialist based in Esher, Surrey, focused on making people look and feel like their best selves. With a background in casting and years working with actors, performers and creative professionals, Amy brings a unique understanding of how to represent personality, presence and intent through a single frame. Her approach blends candid, documentary-style moments with considered portrait technique so images feel authentic, warm and unmistakably you. Why choose Amy for your portraits? She treats every session as a collaboration. Before a shoot she offers a relaxed pre-shoot chat to understand your goals, mood and any practical needs. Amy’s wardrobe guide helps select colours and outfits that photograph well, and she creates a calm, conversational atmosphere so even camera-shy clients can relax. Whether you want natural light environmental portraits, a crisp pop-up studio headshot, or a mix of both, Amy adapts her method to suit your brief while always prioritising genuine expression over stiff poses. Her portrait work is built around fast, professional delivery and a client-first process. Sessions are designed to be enjoyable and efficient—Amy moves quickly between thoughtful direction and unobtrusive shooting to capture both posed and unposed moments. Final images are carefully edited and delivered in a private online gallery so you can download and use them straightaway for LinkedIn, websites, press, social media or personal branding. Although portrait photography is the core specialism, Amy also works with businesses on corporate headshots, team imagery and in-situation workplace portraits—ideal for brands wanting cohesive, natural visuals that reflect company culture. For clients local to Walton-on-Thames she occasionally runs mini portrait sessions, and she regularly travels across Surrey and London for shoots. Passion, practicality and a friendly, no-fuss manner are at the heart of Amy’s portrait practice. If you’re after portraits that feel real, elevated and on-brand—whether for acting, freelancing, company profiles or LinkedIn—Amy provides calm direction, precise craft and images that genuinely reflect who you are.
