Matt Curtis Photography

I'm Matt Curtis and portrait photography is what I do — it's been my focus for decades. As a specialist in portrait work I concentrate on creating professional, honest images that reflect who you really are. Whether you need a confident headshot for LinkedIn, a refined corporate portrait for a website or a classic personal portrait to hang at home, I bring the same attention to light, pose and atmosphere to every session. Why choose me? I combine years of hands-on studio experience with a relaxed, conversational approach that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera. My background includes working alongside BIPP-certified photographers and developing technical studio skills that let me shape flattering light and composition for any face or personality. I work from a well-equipped studio at Chinns Court and regularly serve clients in Frome and the wider South West, so you get professional results without the fuss. What makes my approach special is the balance between craft and conversation. I take time to learn a little about you before the session — what you want the images to say, where they'll be used, and how you want to present yourself. During the shoot I guide poses and expressions gently, creating a calm atmosphere so even camera-shy clients relax and produce natural, authentic images. For business portraits I focus on clarity and confidence; for personal portraits I aim for character and timelessness. How I work: you can expect a simple, reassuring process — an initial chat to plan the shoot, a comfortable studio session, and a private viewing where you select your favourite images. I offer professionally edited files and a range of print and presentation options to suit your needs. If you prefer a location shoot we can arrange that too; my priority is to deliver portraits that feel right for you and work for the purpose you have in mind. I love making portraits that last. If you want a specialist portrait photographer who listens, directs with care and delivers professionally finished images, get in touch. I’m always happy to talk through ideas and find the right look for your headshot or portrait in Frome and beyond.
