The Pin Mill Studio

The Pin Mill Studio is a specialist portrait studio on the banks of the River Orwell, led by award‑winning photographer Anthony Cullen. If you need a professional headshot, a striking portrait for your website or a confident LinkedIn image, Anthony brings decades of editorial and commercial experience to every session and treats portraiture as a craft rather than a commodity. Why choose The Pin Mill Studio? The work combines technical mastery with a calm, conversational approach that helps subjects relax in front of the camera. Anthony has produced portraits for national media and corporate clients and is comfortable working with executives, creatives and camera‑shy clients alike. His aim is simple: to produce honest, flattering images that convey personality and purpose — whether for a boardroom profile or an online presence. What makes the approach special is the setting and the process. The studio — a converted sail loft at Pin Mill — is fully equipped with studio lighting and a cosy riverside atmosphere that encourages natural expression. Sessions are bespoke: we begin with a short consultation to understand how you will use the images, the mood you want to convey and any wardrobe or styling needs. During the shoot Anthony’s relaxed, hugely competent manner and gentle direction allow genuine moments to emerge, producing strong, usable portraits with minimal fuss. How we work with business clients: many commissions come directly from companies and design studios seeking consistent, professional headshots for websites, staff directories and marketing materials. Sessions can be arranged for individuals or small teams, with careful attention to continuity and delivery requirements. Beyond commissioned portrait work, Anthony also runs practical photography days and one‑to‑one tuition from the studio — a useful option if you’d like to understand more about posing, lighting or how to get the best from a headshot session. Prints and finished images are produced to a high standard, reflecting the same care given to the shooting process. If you want portrait photography in Felixstowe that balances technical skill with warmth and personality, The Pin Mill Studio offers a considered, professional service tailored to every client.
