Gosforth portrait studio by Sarah Deane delivers professional headshots and studio portraits that feel natural and flattering. Relaxed shoots, expert lighting and confident results.
I specialise in portrait photography from my Gosforth base, working with individuals and businesses across Newcastle and the North East. As an award-winning portrait photographer with over 20 years’ experience, my approach is simple: create professional portraits that look effortless and true to you. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a business portrait for a website or a striking studio portrait, I focus on flattering light, considered composition and a relaxed atmosphere that brings out natural expressions. Why choose me? I combine technical craft with a calm, conversational style that helps even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease. I’ve photographed thousands of people in and out of the studio, so I know how to guide posture, expression and clothing choices to produce images that are professional, approachable and on-brand. I love working with colour, light and composition to create portraits that are both modern and timeless. How I work: Every shoot begins with a quick chat so I understand your brief — whether it’s a corporate headshot, a CV photo or a portfolio portrait. In the studio I’ll direct you gently, adjusting lighting and background to suit the mood you want. My sessions are relaxed and efficient: I’ll help you try simple changes in pose or expression until we get the images that feel right. After the shoot I deliver high-quality digital files via secure private galleries so you can review, select and download the final portraits easily. My studio practice is rooted in commercial sensibility — I know how important a strong portrait is for first impressions online and in print. Clients appreciate that I create flattering, professional results without stiff poses or awkward instructions. I also work with teams and businesses to produce cohesive staff portraits and brand imagery that sit well across websites and marketing materials. Portraiture is what drives me. I love making people look and feel their best in front of the camera, and I’m proud to bring warmth, technical skill and a clear creative eye to every commission. If you’re looking for professional headshots or studio portraits in Gosforth and Newcastle, get in touch — I’d love to help you create images that make a confident, memorable impression.
