Sirastudio

Sirastudio is a specialist portrait studio based in Harrogate, recognised for creating professional, authentic portraits and corporate headshots across the UK. As a small but experienced team we focus on portraits as a core expertise — helping business owners, teams and professionals present their best selves online and in print. Our approach is practical, friendly and rooted in decades of image-making experience; we aim to make even camera-shy clients feel at ease and look confident. Why choose Sirastudio? We combine technical skill with strong interpersonal experience. Simon’s long career in professional imaging — from advertising studios to senior photographic roles with police forces — brings decisive technical knowledge and calm under pressure. Rachael’s background in graphic design, PR and event management means we understand how portraits are used in marketing, social media and corporate communications. Together we deliver portraits that work for LinkedIn, company websites, press and presentations. What makes our portrait work special is a relaxed, human-centred process. We listen first: a short pre-shoot conversation helps us understand how you want to appear — approachable, authoritative, creative or corporate — and we tailor lighting, background and posing accordingly. We bring studio lighting and a selection of backgrounds to your workplace for team sessions, or create a simple, focused studio-style set for individual headshots. The shoot atmosphere is calm and conversational, designed to capture natural expressions and genuine presence rather than stiff, overly directed poses. How we work with clients: sessions are efficient and comfortable. We plan timing and styling around your schedule, guide you through simple posing and expression cues, and adapt lighting to flatter each subject. For business teams we streamline group bookings to minimise disruption; for executives and creatives we craft portraits that reflect personal brand. As a primary service, portrait photography receives our full attention and craft — from capture to careful editing — so your images are polished and ready to represent you professionally. If you need more than stills, we can also discuss short video profile pieces as part of our core services.
