It seems nowadays that everyone has the usual family portrait set against a bright white backdrop, but does such a blank canvas really express your unique personality? With Raphaelite Photography, Angela aims to create beautiful artistic images that simply cannot be created in a high street studio.

With a degree in Television Production/Contemporary Film and Video, Angela has skills and experience in constructing striking imagery that looks like it has been taken straight out of a movie. All images are taken on location, whether that location is outdoors, in your own home, or a hotel suite, with costume and props specially created for your individual shoot. Angela also has experience in make-up and special effects as well as digital manipulation (airbrushing) to enhance your production.

With portraiture by Raphaelite Photography, you can create your ideal scene. Images can be full of symbolism or narrative and can really express your feelings and personality. This is not a quick 10 minute shoot in a high street studio, this is a complete photography experience, with a range of print products available for beautiful and timeless gifts for family and friends.

Get the most out of your portraiture shoot

Contact Angela to discuss your ideas, or to arrange a consultation where we can look at a range of styles and decide on the most suitable for your time and budget restrictions.

Don't be afraid to put forward your ideas, no matter how unusual or impossible you think they are. There's usually a way around it to make it work! If you would like to produce something risqué, you can be reassured that with previous experience working with glamour models, Angela will work with sensitivity and discretion, whilst images will not be published online or shared elsewhere.

Be prepared to spend time on the shoot. Certain costume or make-up requirements may take a while to prepare on the day, and it always takes time to get comfortable in front of the camera.

Have a clear idea of the sort of images you would like from your shoot. It can help you to confidently pose on the day and to be prepared for what is involved.
