Chris Elliott Photography is a Hitchin-based specialist in portrait photography, dedicated to creating portraits that feel honest, relaxed and distinctly personal. Chris approaches every session with the same aim: to reveal character rather than posepeople into clichés. Whether you come to the studio for a formal portrait or a more informal lifestyle session, the emphasis is on a calm, friendly experience that produces natural-looking results. What sets Chris apart is an ability to put people at ease. Sessions are conversational and low-pressure; Chris gives clear, simple direction and looks for the small, authentic moments that make portraits memorable. The studio in Hitchin is set up to combine flattering light with a quiet atmosphere, while indoor and outdoor options are available when a different backdrop or mood is required. This flexibility means portraits feel personal — not staged — and suit a wide range of uses from family keepsakes to professional profiles. While portraiture is Chris’s core specialism, he also provides business portraits and headshots tailored to professional needs. If you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a clean company profile image or a more creative professional portrait, Chris works with you to shape the look: background, lighting and wardrobe are discussed beforehand so the finished images reflect the right tone for your industry and personal brand. Chris’s process is straightforward and collaborative. It starts with a short pre-session chat to understand your goals and any reference looks you like. On the day, the session moves at a relaxed pace with plenty of guidance and quick previews so you can see how things are shaping up. After the shoot, Chris applies careful editing to present your images with natural, flattering retouching and consistent colour — ready for print, online profiles or professional use. Rooted in Hitchin and serving clients across the UK, Chris Elliott Photography balances technical skill with a warm, human approach. If you want portraits that look and feel like you — whether for personal keepsakes or professional visibility — Chris is a specialist you can trust to deliver considered, authentic results.
