Red Air Survey and Media

Red Air Survey and Media brings its broadcast-grade eyes and relaxed, client-first approach to portrait photography in Exeter. Specialising in professional portraits and business headshots, we combine decades of camera experience with a studio-calibre workflow to create images that feel authentic, authoritative and perfectly suited for LinkedIn, corporate profiles and marketing use. Why choose Red Air for your portrait work? Our team includes experienced broadcast and commercial camera operators who understand light, composition and how to capture people at their best. Sara Hayward, our London-based digital creator and photographer, leads our portrait shoots with a calm, creative touch honed on high-end photoshoots and hospitality campaigns. We pride ourselves on an informative, fully transparent way of working — you’ll always know what we’re creating and why. What makes our approach special is the marriage of technical craft and human rapport. We start with a short consultation to understand your brief, brand and the image you want to project. On the day we focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Using studio lighting or carefully chosen on-location backdrops, we shape flattering, natural portraits and crisp headshots that communicate professionalism and personality. How we work: we begin with a clear brief and suggested style direction, guide you through wardrobe and pose options, and capture a selection of looks so you have choices for different platforms. Post-shoot, we professionally retouch and return optimised files for web and print — LinkedIn-ready crops, high-resolution masters and any brand-specific variants you need — all delivered with a fast turnaround. Although our core focus here is portrait and business photography, we sit within the wider Red Air team, which brings broadcast, ground-based production and aerial experience when a project calls for a broader visual story. For corporate clients in hospitality, events and professional services, that means we can extend portrait shoots into wider brand shoots with consistent visual language. Based in Exeter, we offer a thoughtful, expert portrait service tailored to businesses and professionals across the South West and beyond. If you’re looking for professional headshots or business portraits that combine technical excellence with a friendly, assured process, Red Air delivers images that work hard for your brand.
