Vicky Scipio is a portrait specialist based in Mendip (Glastonbury), offering studio and on-location professional portraits and business headshots. Natural, relaxed sessions to capture authentic character.
I’m Vicky Scipio — a Mendip-based portrait photographer working from a small private studio in Glastonbury and on location across the South-West. I specialise in portrait photography with a focus on creating natural, professional headshots and business portraits that genuinely reflect who you are. My background as a press photographer taught me to observe, listen and be ready for the decisive moment; I bring that experience to every portrait session so the results feel honest and unforced. Why choose me? I combine technical experience with a warm, conversational approach that helps even camera-shy clients relax. Whether you need a clean LinkedIn headshot, a personal branding portrait for your website, or a relaxed studio portrait, I aim to capture personality and presence rather than stiff poses. I value authenticity — my editing is thoughtful and natural, and I do not do heavy retouching or AI creations, keeping your images true to life. My approach is collaborative and straightforward. Before a session we’ll discuss your goals, preferred locations (studio or on-location around Glastonbury/Mendip), and any practical details to make the shoot run smoothly. On the day I create a calm atmosphere with clear direction, gentle prompting and quick feedback so you can see what’s working. For business portraits I work to produce a variety of looks — confident headshots, relaxed three-quarter poses, and images suited for social media or web use — all delivered in high-resolution format ready for professional use. Photography is what I love doing: I trained in photography, worked as a press photographer for local newspapers and now channel that curiosity and discipline into making portraits that matter. I’m detail-orientated, hardworking and enthusiastic about helping people present themselves confidently. Based in Mendip and often available around Glastonbury, I welcome enquiries from professionals, small businesses and individuals across the region. Let’s talk about how to create portraits that feel genuinely you — simple, professional and full of character.
