Based in Folkestone, Igor Emmerich specialises in studio portrait sessions and professional business headshots. He creates relaxed, authentic images ideal for LinkedIn, profiles and corporate use.
I’m Igor Emmerich, a Folkestone-based portrait specialist bringing a commercial photographer’s discipline to every studio session. My work focuses on producing professional, honest portraits and business headshots that communicate personality and confidence. Whether you need a striking LinkedIn portrait, a suite of corporate headshots for your team, or a single studio portrait that feels authentically you, I shape images that work visually and commercially. My approach is simple: put people at ease and craft images that tell the right story. In the studio at The Glassworks, Mill Bay, I combine considered lighting with a relaxed, conversational way of working so expressions feel natural rather than posed. I believe the best portraits come from real connection—small directions, subtle adjustments and an atmosphere where clients can be themselves. That method produces portraits that read well across professional platforms and marketing materials alike. Working with businesses is a regular part of what I do. I understand the need for consistency across a team while still honouring individual character. For solo professionals and executives I focus on clarity and authority; for team shoots I deliver cohesion and variety so each portrait remains true to the person while fitting the brand’s visual language. Throughout, practical considerations—clear communication, punctual sessions and images ready for professional use—are built into the process. Every session begins with a short consultation to define the brief and visual objectives. On the day I guide posing and expression, manage lighting for flattering and consistent results, and maintain a calm, efficient pace so clients feel comfortable and prepared. The goal is to leave you with confident portraits that perform well online, in press, and across company materials. If you’re looking for a portrait studio in Folkestone that specialises in professional headshots and business portraits, I offer focused, expert photography rooted in real experience.
