Exeter-based portrait specialist creating natural-light professional portraits and business headshots. Friendly, on-location sessions that deliver polished images for websites, LinkedIn and personal branding.
Lily Holman is a portrait specialist based in Exeter with over ten years’ experience photographing people for businesses, brands and personal projects across the South West and beyond. Her work focuses on natural-light portraits and lifestyle headshots that feel authentic and approachable — the kind of images visitors trust when they land on a website or a LinkedIn profile. Why choose Lily for your professional portrait or headshot? She combines technical skill with an easy, conversational approach that calms even camera-shy clients. Having worked with a wide range of clients — from local small businesses to national companies — Lily understands how a single portrait can shape first impressions. She shoots with natural light and often uses natural backdrops, creating portraits that look fresh, modern and fitting for websites, social media and marketing materials. What makes her approach special is the blend of documentary sensitivity and commercial awareness. Sessions are relaxed and tailored to your goals: whether you need a crisp business portrait for a company page, a LinkedIn photo that reads well at thumbnail size, or a series of lifestyle images to build your brand’s visual story. Lily listens to how you want to be seen, suggests poses and locations that suit your personality, and crafts images that are ready to use online. How she works: every project begins with a conversation about purpose and tone — who your audience is and where the images will be used. Shoots are typically on-location in Exeter and surrounding Devon locations, using natural light and simple, elegant compositions. After the session Lily professionally edits the selected images and aims for a quick turnaround, delivering high-quality, web-ready files that you can start using straight away. Lily’s background includes international work and collaborations with brands and events, and she brings that professional level of service to every portrait session. If you want portrait photography that feels personal, purposeful and polished, Lily Holman offers a dependable, creative photographic experience in Exeter and the South West.
