Belle Privé Photography

Belle Privé Photography is a dedicated portrait specialist based in Longsight, Manchester. Focused on portrait photography as our core expertise, we create professional portraits and headshots that reflect personality, poise and purpose. Whether you need a flattering LinkedIn headshot, a personal portrait for a portfolio or a refined studio image, our approach centres on bringing out authentic expression in a calm, welcoming environment. Why choose Belle Privé for your portrait? Because portraiture is our primary focus. We work deliberately and with attention to detail to ensure each image feels true to the person in front of the camera. Our studio in Longsight combines controlled lighting, considered composition and a relaxed atmosphere so clients — from camera-shy to confident — can look and feel their best. The result is a portfolio of portraits that are professional, timeless and distinctly you. What makes our approach special is the balance of technical care and human connection. We guide poses and expressions with clear, encouraging direction, using lighting and framing to highlight your features and personal style. Preparation is collaborative: before your session we discuss the intended use of your portraits, styling choices and the mood you want to convey. During the shoot we prioritise comfort, pace and small adjustments that make a big visual difference. How we work: sessions are conducted in our Longsight studio where we control every element to produce consistent, high-quality results. Expect a consultative process — we listen to your goals, tailor the session to your needs and deliver a refined set of images suited for both personal and professional use. For clients seeking headshots for business or LinkedIn, we focus on clarity, strong eye contact and an approachable look that communicates competence and authenticity. While portrait work is our specialty, Belle Privé also offers complementary business portrait services and occasional workshops. If you want portraits that feel effortlessly professional and genuinely you, book a session at our Longsight studio and experience portrait photography designed around your story and your best light.
