Celie Nigoumi - Photographer

I specialise in portrait photography from my base in Frome, bringing a calm, collaborative approach to professional portraits and business headshots. My work focuses on revealing the real person behind the camera: character, presence and the subtle gestures that make a portrait feel honest and alive. I aim to create images that work for LinkedIn and corporate profiles, as well as portraits that serve creative and personal storytelling needs. My approach is quietly intentional. Sessions are relaxed and conversational so people who feel nervous about being photographed can settle and show up naturally. I combine studio techniques with a documentary sensibility when it helps tell a subject’s story—this is a secondary, supporting flavour to the portrait work, used selectively to create more lived-in, narrative portraits. When you choose to work with me you get an experienced eye for composition, light and expression. I value collaboration: before a session we’ll discuss how you want to present yourself, what matters most for your professional image, and any references or brand cues you want to include. On the day, I guide you through gentle direction and small adjustments so the session feels easy and the results feel authentic. My portraits are built to be useful as well as beautiful—crop-friendly headshots for websites and LinkedIn, confident business portraits for press and marketing, and considered studio images that reflect individual personality. I take care with editing to keep images natural, polished and true to you. Based in Frome, I work with professionals, founders and creative people across the South West and beyond. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who prioritises presence over pose, who makes sessions comfortable and who delivers professional images that represent you well, I’d love to hear about your project and how we can create portraits that feel like you.
