Mike’s focus is simple: create honest, professional portraits that represent the real you—whether you’re an actor updating your headshot or a business professional refining your online presence. Why choose Mike Bell? The studio approach centres on clarity and purpose. Sessions are guided rather than posed, giving clients natural expression and confidence in front of the camera. Mike works closely with each subject to find the right light, background and mood so images read well on casting sites, LinkedIn profiles and company websites. The result is professional portraits that look current, authentic and work hard for your personal or business brand. What makes the approach special is the combination of studio control and collaborative direction. Mike blends controlled, well-lit setups with conversational coaching—reviewing images during the shoot so you can see what’s working and make subtle adjustments. For actors this means capturing a range of looks; for corporate clients it means consistent, approachable headshots that align with brand identity. Careful, light retouching is applied to maintain a natural appearance while ensuring a polished final image. How Mike works with clients is deliberately straightforward and client-focused. From initial planning and wardrobe suggestions to on-the-day direction, the experience is calm and efficient. Finished images are delivered through a secure, password-protected gallery so you can review and download at your convenience. Mike also offers on-site headshot sessions for businesses wanting a uniform look across teams, delivering a consistent suite of professional portraits tailored to company needs. Based in Burridge near Fareham, the studio is easy to reach with free on-site parking and close rail links; Mike even offers pick-up from the nearby Swanwick station on request.
