Portrait Photography Studio
The portrait studio is run by Robbie Ewing, a photographer with 20 years of experience in digital photography. Check out his full portrait portfolio here. He uses a high-resolution Nikon camera and a variety of professional lenses and shoots directly into his iMac so you can see the results straight away and feel confident about the portraits you will receive.
Portrait studio photography gives you the option to completely control the light and create lots of different looks when having your portrait taken. Studio portraiture is a very adaptable type of photography.
At Arch Photo Studio, we offer professional studio portraiture services for a wide variety of people and organisations. We can provide portrait images for your business website, and social media profiles such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.
Studio Portraits
We work with singers / musicians, actors, models, and any performer who needs professional headshot photography. Studio portraits are used on their websites, portfolios or for publications. A professional portrait is a vital starting point to landing that perfect role. We also work with individuals who need more serious corporate portrait photography for their websites or social media profiles.
Photos can range from high-key light and bright, to dark and moody and all tones in between. The key thing is capturing an expression that captures the character of the subject.
Editorial Photography
The key to making a great portrait is capturing the subject’s eyes. As the old saying goes the Eyes are windows to the soul and all great portraits will have a connection to the viewer through the subject eyes.
Our working method is informal and relaxed, to get the best out of our subjects we need you relaxed in front of the lights and all the strange studio paraphernalia you will find yourself surrounded by. We have a variety of props, stools, and chairs for you to sit in and we also encourage clients to bring props that might work in the shoot.
Below is a gallery showing recent portrait studio work completed this year. We can create a variety of styles of images during the same shoot in the portrait photography studio. This means you will have a range of portrait images suitable for different uses.

Included In All Studio Portrait Shoots
PLEASE NOTE – Commercial and corporate portraiture work will be charged at commercial day rates.
Selects are fine-tuned in Capture One, images are cropped, exposure corrections are individually adjusted, and obvious spots and eye bags are lightened. Colour grading can also be applied at this stage to create a specific vibe for the image.
If required, images are then taken into an AI retouching program, where I apply a subtle and natural-looking process to them. Eyes are sharpened, eye bags are lightened, skin is lightly smoothed/contoured, fly-away hairs are removed, clothing creases are removed, and paper backgrounds are cleaned up.
