Big Idea Photography

Big Idea Photography is a Felixstowe portrait studio focused on making your professional images work harder for your business. We specialise in professional headshots, team portraits and personal-brand sessions designed for LinkedIn, websites, press and marketing. With a practical, no-nonsense approach we help clients look credible, approachable and consistent across every touchpoint. Why choose us? We understand that people buy people. Strong portraits and business images build trust, define your brand and make the right first impression online. With more than 15 years of commercial photography experience, Carl Middleditch and the team know how to produce a consistent, polished image bank that fits your marketing needs. Our work for clients such as theatres, law firms and e-commerce retailers has taught us how to deliver images that perform in both digital and print channels. What makes our approach different is a blend of technical control and real-world sensitivity. Carl’s background—shifting from traditional film to early digital workflows and teaching photography at university level—means every shot is carefully crafted for tone, lighting and composition. Toby brings advanced retouching and digital-compositing skills that let us refine images to a professional finish without losing personality. Together we offer studio-headshot precision and relaxed, environmental portraits that capture how you and your team actually work. How we work: every portrait project begins with a conversation. We plan the session to suit your objectives—simple studio headshots for a uniform team look, or a branding session to build a bank of environmental images for social media and press. On the day we create a calm, efficient atmosphere so subjects feel comfortable and confident. After the shoot we provide careful selection and professional retouching from our in-house studio, delivering files ready for web, print and LinkedIn. Our aim is to make portrait photography straightforward and effective for businesses in Felixstowe, Ipswich and across the region. Whether you need a single LinkedIn headshot, a complete team session or a bespoke branding shoot, we combine creative direction, technical expertise and reliable delivery to produce images that represent you and your organisation with clarity and style.
