Sandi Hodkinson Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my Old Trafford studio, focusing on professional portraits and business headshots that genuinely reflect who you are. With 25 years’ experience I’ve developed a straightforward approach: light and direction that flatter, a calm, conversational manner that relaxes the sitter, and minimal retouching so the final images remain a true likeness rather than an over-processed version of you. My philosophy is simple — a good portrait should be authentic and useful. Whether you need a business portrait for LinkedIn, a professional headshot for your website, or a striking personal portrait, I work to bring out character and confidence through considered lighting, posing and gentle direction. Many clients comment on how quickly they feel at ease in the studio; that relaxed atmosphere is where natural expressions appear and the best images are made. I work closely with each client throughout the session so you can view and choose your favourites on the same day. This hands-on selection process keeps the shoot focused on results and means you walk away with images you love, ready for online profiles and professional use. Subtle polishing is included, and I keep post-production light — prioritising authenticity over heavy airbrushing. For corporate shoots I offer studio and on-site options, bringing a mobile setup to your premises when required. Makeup and hair styling are available on request to help you look and feel your best. While portrait and business headshots are my core specialism, I also accept occasional commissions for product and fashion work — but my primary expertise remains people-focused portraiture. Based in Old Trafford and serving Greater Manchester, I combine technical experience with a creative eye to deliver portraits that stand out for their honesty and polish. If you value natural, professional images that communicate who you are, get in touch to discuss your session. I’m happy to answer questions and tailor the shoot to suit your aims, whether that’s a LinkedIn photo, actor’s headshot or an updated corporate portrait.
