Lewes-based portrait specialist creating natural, professional headshots and environmental portraits. Carlotta blends fine-art sensibility with a calm, unobtrusive approach for business and personal portraits.
Carlotta Luke is a Lewes-based portrait specialist whose work balances fine-art sensitivity with practical, results-driven photography. With a background in Fine Arts and an MA in Urban Design, Carlotta approaches portraiture as a study of people in place: how individuals inhabit their workplaces, homes and public roles. This makes her especially well suited to professional headshots, business portraits and environmental portraiture for organisations, schools and individuals across East Sussex and beyond. Why choose Carlotta for portrait and headshot photography? Her images are grounded in observation and empathy. She favours un‑posed, quietly expressive portraits that reveal character without artifice. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a set of executive portraits for corporate communications, or evocative staff photography that shows your workplace culture, Carlotta works to create images that look honest, considered and distinctive. What makes her approach special is a blend of technical skill and calm direction. Years of documentary and workplace photography mean she can work unobtrusively at events or on location, while her fine‑art training informs careful composition and attention to light. She has photographed high-profile visits and PR commissions and understands the need to capture both individual personality and a professional image that serves press and promotional use. How she works: every commission begins with a short conversation about your goals and the intended use of the images. On the day, Carlotta creates a relaxed atmosphere so subjects feel at ease—essential for natural headshots and authentic environmental portraits. For business clients she focuses on producing a suite of images that work across digital profiles, press releases and company literature. Images are professionally edited and delivered with an emphasis on clarity and consistency. Rooted in Lewes, Carlotta brings local knowledge of settings across East Sussex while maintaining an international visual sensibility. If you are looking for professional portraits or headshots with an artistic yet practical edge, Carlotta Luke offers a specialist portrait service that captures people as they are—confident, considered and connected to their place.
