The Portfolio People

We are The Portfolio People — a Liverpool-based portrait studio dedicated to crafting cinematic, individual portraits that help performers stand out. Izzy (headshot and portrait photographer) and Henry (musical director, producer and videographer) bring professional theatre and entertainment experience to every session, so we understand how casting rooms and agents look at promo material. That insight lets us create images that aren’t just photographically strong but useable and expressive for your career. Our approach is centred on individuality. We tailor each shoot to your personality and professional goals, balancing relaxed direction with decisive creative choices so you can be comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We focus on composition, lighting and subtle expression to produce timeless images with a cinematic feel — portraits that read clearly on stage, screen and online. Working with us is simple and supportive. Sessions take place in our Liverpool studio where we aim to make the day easy and fun: good tunes, tea, coffee and biscuits are guaranteed. We guide wardrobe, posture and performance throughout the shoot, offering constructive direction to capture natural moments as well as polished looks. After the session your images are professionally edited to enhance the final presentation while preserving the authenticity of your performance. While portraiture is our core specialism, we also work alongside our in-house video and vocal expertise to offer cohesive visual and audio material when needed — perfect for performers who want a polished portfolio in one place. That collaborative studio setup means you can create standout portraits and complementary video material without running between multiple providers. Choose The Portfolio People if you want a portrait studio in Liverpool that understands performers, values individuality and delivers consistently cinematic, professional portraits. We care about the small details that make a big difference: lighting, mood, and the way a single image can open a door. Izzy and Henry look forward to helping you present your most confident, authentic self.
