Olpa Photography in Longsight specialises in portrait photography and studio headshots. Relaxed, professional sessions that create natural, confident images for personal and business use.
Olpa Photography is focused on portrait photography from a Longsight studio base, creating clear, natural portraits and professional headshots tailored to each client. As a portrait specialist, Olpa Photography treats every session as an opportunity to capture personality, not just a pose — whether you need a personal portrait, a family-friendly studio session, or a polished headshot for LinkedIn and professional profiles. What sets Olpa Photography apart is a calm, client-centred approach. Sessions are designed to feel relaxed and unhurried so subjects can be themselves. Rather than rely on stiff formulae, the photographer builds rapport, offers simple guidance on posture and expression, and uses lighting and composition to emphasise authentic features. The result is professional portraits that look natural, confident, and appropriate for both personal keepsakes and business profiles. The studio in Longsight is configured to deliver versatile portrait looks — from clean, corporate-style headshots to warmer, lifestyle portraits. Practical experience with on-location and studio setups means each portrait is crafted with attention to mood, background, and how the final image will be used. For clients wanting images for LinkedIn, company websites, or CVs, the emphasis is on flattering, high-resolution headshots that read well both on screen and in print. Working with Olpa Photography is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions begin with a conversation about your goals and the intended use of the images. During the shoot, the photographer offers gentle coaching to bring out natural expressions and guides wardrobe and posture choices when needed. After the session, images are professionally selected and lightly retouched to enhance clarity while retaining character. Based in Longsight and serving Manchester and nearby areas, Olpa Photography brings a warm, professional touch to portrait work. If you want portraits that reflect who you are — whether for family memories or professional representation — Olpa Photography focuses on creating images that feel genuine, polished, and ready to use.
