L. C. Studios

L. C. Studios in Irlam is a specialist portrait studio led by Lauren Clarissa, focused on creating honest, beautifully crafted portraits that reflect real personality. With a BA (Hons) in Fine Art specialising in Photography and more than a decade working professionally, Lauren brings an artistic eye to every portrait session — balancing careful lighting and composition with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Why choose L. C. Studios for your portrait? Lauren’s approach is rooted in storytelling and sensitivity: she sees portraiture as a way to capture emotion, presence and the small details that make each person unique. Whether you want a timeless family portrait, a creative personal portrait or a clean, professional headshot for LinkedIn and business use, she offers bespoke sessions tailored to your ideas, mood and branding. Her studio work emphasises flattering, natural light and considered posing so clients look and feel their best without forced smiles or stiff direction. How the portrait experience works: every session begins with a pre-consultation to discuss your vision, wardrobe and any styling needs. On the day, Lauren creates a calm, supportive environment — guiding poses, suggesting simple styling and using a variety of lighting setups to achieve different looks. After the shoot you’ll review your images in a viewing gallery where selections can be made with no pushy sales; chosen images receive professional retouching and subtle airbrushing as required to achieve a polished, authentic result. Specialist headshots and business portraits: while portrait photography is the core focus, Lauren also offers professional headshot sessions designed for companies, freelancers and creatives. These sessions prioritise correct lighting, natural expression and images that translate well across websites, social media and corporate materials. Lauren’s work combines technical skill with a fine art sensibility and a passion for photographing people. Based in Irlam and serving Greater Manchester and the UK, L. C. Studios delivers bespoke, memorable portraits crafted with care.
