Based in Lower Earley, Pranali Patil Photography specialises in fine-art studio and family portraits, with professional headshots as a calm, authentic option for business profiles.
I’m Pranali — a Lower Earley–based portrait photographer who brings a fine-art, storytelling approach to every session. As a specialist in portrait work, my focus is on capturing authentic expressions and natural character, whether you’re booking a studio portrait, a family session, or a professional headshot. My images are crafted to feel timeless, honest and beautifully simple — portraits you’ll be proud to frame. My style blends boutique fine-art sensibilities with a relaxed, approachable atmosphere. I aim to create sessions that feel calm rather than staged: gentle direction, thoughtful posing, and attention to light and background keep the focus on the person. Years of experience working with families and children means I know how to help even camera-shy people feel at ease, producing genuine smiles and natural moments without pressure. How I work: every portrait begins with a short conversation about what you want to communicate — the mood, wardrobe and setting that will best serve your images. In the studio I combine clean, minimalist backgrounds with flattering light to create classic portraits that centre personality. For professional headshots I offer a focused, efficient session that emphasises presence and confidence suitable for LinkedIn, websites or corporate profiles, while still reflecting your individual style. Clients choose me because I care about the story behind the image. I take the time to understand family dynamics, personal preferences and professional needs, so the final portraits feel personal rather than generic. My workflow is deliberate but friendly — building rapport quickly, guiding poses unobtrusively, and delivering polished images that highlight your best self. Whether you’re updating family photos, commissioning a studio portrait, or booking a headshot for business, I bring specialist portrait expertise rooted in Lower Earley and the surrounding area. My aim is simple: create elegant, emotive portraits that look beautiful on walls and online, and to make the whole experience enjoyable and easy for you.
