Lucy Holding Brand Photography & Media

I’m Lucy Holding — a portrait photographer based in Exeter, focused on creating professional studio portraits and business headshots that genuinely reflect who you are and what your brand stands for. As Brand Photography & Media, my approach blends the clarity of commercial portraiture with a relaxed, human-first style so clients feel confident in front of the camera and the results feel authentic. Why choose me for your portrait session? I specialise in portrait and business photography, with particular experience delivering studio portraits and LinkedIn headshots for business owners, freelancers and creative professionals across the South West. I work to capture a professional image you can use across websites, social profiles and press — images that communicate competence, warmth and personality. My process is straightforward and client-centred. We begin with a relaxed pre-shoot conversation to understand your objectives, brand tone and the practical uses for your portraits. In the studio I prioritise a calm atmosphere: clear direction on posing, lighting that flatters, and a collaborative pace so you can feel natural rather than posed. I guide expressions and posture to create confident, approachable images while keeping things simple and efficient for busy professionals. Stylistically, I favour clean, timeless images that put the focus on you — crisp lighting, flattering angles and subtle, professional editing to deliver polished yet authentic final photos. Whether you need a LinkedIn headshot, a contemporary business portrait for your website, or a selection of studio images to refresh your brand presence, I tailor each session to the context and use-case of the images. Beyond technical skill, what drives my work is helping people present themselves with clarity and confidence. I enjoy working with ambitious brands and individuals in Exeter and beyond who want portraits that work hard for their business — images that make a strong first impression and support your professional goals.
