Premium photography for clients who want images shaped around their individuality, character and purpose.
Helping You Feel Comfortable, Confident and Fully Yourself
Hello, I’m Renata. I work with business owners, leaders, professionals, creatives and private clients who want photographs that feel natural and true to who they are.
My approach begins with understanding you, how the photographs will be used and what you want them to communicate. I will help you plan what to wear, choose a suitable setting and feel prepared before the session. During the photography, you will receive calm, precise direction, so you never need to know how to pose or wonder what to do.
✅ You need professional photographs that feel more personal than a standard corporate headshot
✅ You are building or developing a business and need images that represent it clearly
✅ You want images that express your identity, not just your role
✅ You are entering a new personal or professional chapter
The result is a collection of photographs that feels confident, credible and genuinely your own.
You’re Ready to Be Seen And I’m Here for That
Many of the people I photograph arrive believing they are uncomfortable, awkward or simply “not photogenic”.
You do not need to manufacture confidence or become someone different for the camera.
My role is to create the conditions in which you can settle, become present and allow your natural expression to emerge.
I pay close attention to posture, expression, light and the small details that affect how an image feels. You will be guided throughout, while still having enough space to remain yourself.
The result? Images that don’t just show you – they transmit you. And your audience feels it.
Strengthen Your Professional and Brand Presence
Headshots and personal branding for business owners, leaders and professionals
Leadership isn’t a pose. It’s a way of being. My business portrait and personal branding sessions are designed for leaders and entrepreneurs who understand that real influence comes from authenticity, not image.
Where traditional branding photography focuses on the outside in — matching what you show to what’s expected — my approach works from the inside out. We capture the presence behind your brand, the energy that draws people in.
Whether it’s an on-site business session with refined lighting and executive polish, or a more expressive personal branding experience, every photograph is guided by one intention: to make people feel who you are before they even read your bio.

Testimonials
Hannah
Renata took so much time to make sure she got to know me and the purpose behind the photographs – she’s a talented artist with an eye for details and intuition about the person she’s taking the pictures of – they’re really like works of art as if someone has painted them.
A really enjoyable experience and spectacular images, thank you.
Becky
Wow, just wow!
I can’t recommend an experience with Renata enough.
She is a real professional, and the day with her and Aleksandra was so relaxing and fun. The final result took my breath away.
Just book her, you won’t regret it!
Firdaus
I had a fantastic experience working with Renata Clarke. She was professional, communicative, and flexible in scheduling, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. During the photoshoot, she made me feel comfortable and confident, and the final images are absolutely stunning. I’m th-rilled with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high quality photography.
Chloe
I loved every minute of my experience with Renata. Not only the final results were amazing, but the experience with her and my shooting day was surprisingly pleasant, rewarding and enjoyable. She made me feel so relaxed in front of the camera and didn’t even feel slightly nervous which I would usually be. If anything, I even had a glimpse of being a professional model 🙂 Thank you so much Renata and definitely would like to work with you again in any future occasions.
Jules
Wonderful to go to an “empowering women over 40 photoshoot” The chats on the phone leading up to the day, the discussions about what clothes to bring, shoes & jewellery. We bounced ideas off each other which helped me build a lovely rapport with Renata. I knew what I wanted from this shoot and Renata was on my page from start to finish. When I arrived at the studio I felt like a movie star. The room was ready for me with a plaque with my name on, every little attention to detail, the herbal teas, the healthy fruit platter all waiting for me was such a beautiful touch. The beauty of having a female photographer made me feel at ease and confident. The day was amazing, one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time.
Elizabeth
I absolutely loved my photos!!! I was stunned for a few seconds and then I thought: Yeah, that’s me! You captured me and for that I am very thankful.
I feel like I am a big turning point in my life. I feel this time is my foundation building for my son and I, and the great things to come. I wanted a reminder of this time, and the woman I have become.
I wanted to capture my inner strength. The power in me. The warrior in me. My authentic self.
Danni
Wow! I cannot fault my wonderful experience with Renata Clarke Portraits.
My friend and I booked a session to celebrate a milestone birthday and were thoroughly spoiled – both on the day and with the selection of photos we came home with.
Renata makes you feel comfortable, listens to what you’re after from the session and then gives you all the direction you need to get the best shots showcasing your inner and outer beauty.
Thank you again, Renata. See you in 10 years for the next milestone birthday 🙂
Margaret
Renata is an amazing professional who makes a whole day a very special experience. Her stylist is great and together they make a fantastic team. Renata puts you at ease but at the same time she makes sure she brings out your best features. She is thorough and has an amazing eye for detail. Her photos are a state of art and of superb quality. I would highly recommend her to anyone as what she creates is a truly beautiful experience
Portraits Created with Attention and Care
My portrait sessions are not about forced confidence or “nice vibe”. They’re about presence, truth, and capturing the quiet power that already lives within you. I work with people who are ready to be seen – those on a journey of self-discovery, authenticity, and self-leadership.
I’ll guide you through every step of the process – from wardrobe to expression – with calm, intuitive direction that helps you feel grounded and open.
Your portraits are then refined with care to enhance, not erase, your humanity. Each image reflects the version of you that was always waiting to be seen: confident, present, and real.
A Personal and Collaborative Experience
Every portrait experience here is a co-creation. Together, we work with light, expression, space and energy to reveal your essence – not as performance, but as an unveiling of the truth you’ve been holding.
Whether you are entering a new chapter, developing your professional presence or creating portraits for personal reasons, the experience is shaped around you rather than a standard template.
Your session isn’t about looking like you think you should. It’s about being seen as you are. You will leave with carefully finished images and, I hope, a clearer appreciation of qualities in yourself that may be easier for others to see than for you to recognise.
Turn Your Portraits into Lasting Artwork
Your photographs can be enjoyed digitally or transformed into carefully made printed artwork for your home.
From folio boxes and matted prints to framed wall collections, I will help you choose a format that suits your images, your space and the way you want to experience them over time.
Digital photographs are included within each session package, with printed products available separately for clients who would like something tangible and lasting.
