Specialist portrait photographer in Hove crafting soft, feminine studio portraits and professional headshots. Relaxed, fully guided sessions to capture honest, timeless images that feel like you.
I’m Moa Thörneby — a portrait specialist based in Hove, working from a warm, well-equipped portrait studio and on location across Brighton and beyond. My work centres on soft, feminine, artistic imagery: I aim to capture emotion, elegance and the quiet confidence that makes a portrait feel timeless. Why choose me for your portraits? I approach every session with a gentle, personalised process. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait that represents your brand, or a personal studio portrait, I guide you through the shoot with calm direction so you feel relaxed and looked after. My style blends natural and controlled studio light to flatter features, enhance texture and create images with a refined, editorial feel. What makes my approach special is the focus on atmosphere and relationship. I love working with kind, creative people and I build shoots around your personality and purpose. Before we shoot we’ll talk through ideas, wardrobe and the mood you want to convey. On the day I’ll support you with posing, movement and gentle direction — most people leave the studio surprised at how comfortable and confident they felt in front of the camera. I’m experienced in delivering professional headshots and business portraits that work across websites, social media and print, while keeping my primary focus on portraiture as an art form. Editing is thoughtful and natural: basic retouching is included to ensure a polished finish, and advanced retouching is available on request for specific commercial needs. Originally from Sweden, I’m drawn to colour, quiet moments and considered composition — influences that shape every portrait I create. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Hove who specialises in soft, elegant images and professional headshots with a personalised, relaxed experience, let’s talk. I’m available for studio sessions in Hove and on-location shoots in Brighton and the surrounding area. Get in touch to discuss your portrait project — I’d love to create images that feel both authentic and beautifully crafted. x Moa
