Emma Stone Photo

Emma Stone Photo is a specialist portrait photographer based in Leeds, dedicated to creating bold, emotive images with an editorial and fine-art edge. With over ten years’ experience working across fashion, performance and commercial shoots, Emma brings a confident creative eye to every portrait session — whether you want dark, dramatic beauty, ethereal fantasy, or a striking performer update. Why choose Emma? The studio is a carefully curated space full of props, atmospheric set designs and a wardrobe of unique pieces, so every shoot can be shaped into a distinct visual story. Emma’s work sits at the intersection of creative portraiture and editorial flair: she’s comfortable building a full fantasy set one day, and delivering crisp, promotional images for stage artists or bands the next. Her portfolio reflects collaborations with models, fashion teams and commercial clients, and she approaches each project with the same attention to composition, lighting and mood. What makes her approach special is the balance of technical skill and a relaxed, empowering atmosphere. Emma prides herself on creating a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental environment where people can explore character, confidence and performance. Sessions are collaborative: you’ll brief the shoot together, choose from the studio wardrobe & props, and work through set design ideas so the final images feel personal and powerful. For performers, creatives and anyone wanting promotional portraits, Emma offers clear direction and styling support to get the best possible results. Emma’s retouching philosophy is authentic enhancement rather than heavy alteration. She follows a simple “two-week rule” — temporary blemishes, stray hairs or bruises can be removed, but she won’t reshape bodies or promote unrealistic ideals. The aim is always to present a true, elevated version of you. While portraiture is Emma’s core specialism, the studio is also available for hire to other photographers and creatives who want a fully equipped space with lighting, modifiers, colouramas and props. Based in Leeds, Emma Stone Photo is ideal for anyone looking for professional, artistic portraits that make a statement — from fine art and fantasy images to polished promo and commercial portraits for creatives and performers.
