MEDIA25 Studio in Hastings specialises in professional portrait and business headshots. Relaxed, focused sessions in our St Leonards studio deliver authentic, confident images for LinkedIn and brands.
MEDIA25 Studio is a portrait specialist based in the heart of St Leonards-on-Sea, serving Hastings and the wider South East. We treat portrait photography as a craft: every session is an opportunity to reveal personality and professionalism through considered lighting, calm direction and an environment built for creative focus. Why choose MEDIA25 for your portraits? Our team brings a rare blend of formal technical skill and a sensitive, observational eye. Graeme Williams’s strength in composed, formal portraiture pairs with Shannon Pajot’s reportage sensibility to deliver portraits that feel both composed and lived-in. Whether you need a definitive business portrait, a relaxed LinkedIn headshot or creative editorial portraits, we aim to capture the facet of you that matters most to your audience. What makes our approach special is how we marry studio capability with empathy. Shooting at our fully equipped St Leonards studio — complete with a white infinity cove, lighting gantry and an on-site technician — gives us the control to sculpt light and mood precisely. At the same time we prioritise a relaxed atmosphere: the session is conversational, collaborative and tailored. We listen to your brief, advise on posture and wardrobe, and guide you to natural expressions that communicate confidence and authenticity. How we work with clients: every portrait begins with a short consultation so we understand context — corporate profile, actor headshot, personal branding or creative brief. On the day we focus on comfort and clarity, taking time to find the angles and lighting that best reflect your character. Our photographers are practised at putting even camera-shy clients at ease, using gentle direction and quick visual feedback so you can see results as we shoot. MEDIA25’s portraits are created with the same attention to detail we bring to our commercial and studio work. The result is professional headshots and business portraits that stand up on websites, LinkedIn profiles and printed materials — images that speak with authority and personality. If you’re in Hastings or elsewhere in the UK and want portraits that combine studio-grade lighting with real presence, get in touch to discuss your portrait session.
