Specialist portrait studio in Glen Parva. DC Photo Studio creates professional portraits and business headshots with a creative, relaxed approach, expert styling and refined retouching.
DC Photo Studio is a specialist portrait studio serving Glen Parva and the wider Leicester area. Led by Dip Chandarana — a professional, qualified fashion photographer (First Class Hons, BCU) — the studio is centred on portrait photography as a craft. We focus on making portraits that reveal personality, presence and professionalism: whether you need a compelling personal portrait or a polished business headshot for LinkedIn and corporate use, DC Photo Studio treats each session as a tailored creative brief. Why choose DC Photo Studio? Our strength is focused expertise. As a creative portrait photographer working from a spacious 1000 square foot studio, Dip combines fashion-led lighting and styling sensibilities with a calm, conversational approach that quickly puts people at ease. That blend produces honest, impactful images — flattering but authentic — that clients return to for personal and professional milestones. What makes our approach special is the attention to detail from start to finish. Sessions begin with a pre-shoot conversation to understand your goals, industry context and personal style. In-studio we offer professional styling advice, a private make-up room and changing area, and carefully considered backdrops and lighting setups so each portrait feels bespoke. Our relaxed atmosphere — plus a coffee machine to steady nerves — helps subjects feel natural in front of the camera, allowing genuine expression to come through. How we work: every shoot is collaborative. We guide posture, expression and wardrobe while encouraging natural interaction and subtle movement for dynamic results. Clients benefit from same-day previews so you can steer the session as it happens, and high-quality, professional retouching that enhances your best features without erasing character. For business portraits, we focus on clarity, consistency and brand-appropriate presentation — ideal for executives, professionals and teams. DC Photo Studio’s practice is driven by a passion for portraiture: capturing the individuality behind a face and translating it into images that communicate confidence, warmth and credibility. If you’re looking for a Glen Parva portrait specialist who combines fashion-trained technique with down-to-earth client care, DC Photo Studio offers an experienced, creative environment to produce portraits that truly represent you.
