Amanda Clarke Photography

Amanda Clarke is a portrait specialist based in Hoddesdon, combining years of experience in personal branding with a calm, confidence-building approach to studio portraiture. Her work is aimed at business owners, authors, speakers, coaches and therapists who need professional portraits and headshots that feel like them — not like a stiff corporate photograph. Why choose Amanda? She treats portrait work as storytelling: each session is focused on revealing your personality, expertise and presence so your images work harder for your brand. Amanda’s clients consistently praise her ability to put people at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere where natural expressions and confident poses emerge. That ease translates into images that read as authentic, approachable and professional across LinkedIn, speaker bios, press and social media. What makes her approach special is the blend of creative direction and practical preparation. Amanda works with you before the shoot to clarify the look and uses a friendly, conversational style on the day so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. She knows how lighting, background and wardrobe choices influence how you’re perceived, and she tailors each session to reflect your business personality — from polished headshots to more expressive personal branding portraits. How she works: sessions take place in a controlled studio environment in Hoddesdon with the option to include on-location shots when a different backdrop is needed. Amanda focuses on collaborative planning, giving clear guidance during the shoot and delivering images that are ready to use for websites, media and marketing. For clients who want additional content, she offers complementary brand-focused services available on her site, such as integrated personal branding packages and optional short-form video content. Amanda’s mission is simple: to help you show up as the expert you are. If you want professional portraits and headshots that reflect who you really are — and help you make better first impressions online and in person — Amanda Clarke’s Hoddesdon studio is designed to make that easy, enjoyable and effective.
