Portraits by Hart were established back in 1958 and are now one of the longest established family run portrait studios in the UK. We have been photographing families and their children for over 52 years. In fact, we are now creating portraits for the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the very first customers who came to us way back in the beginning. Incidentally,

We were one of the very first studios in the country to produce canvas wall portraits back in the 1970’s, having worked closely with Ademco, one of the pioneers of the process.

As a studio, we have been privileged to win many awards throughout the years, which include Kodak Awards, Kodak Gold Awards, Fuji Merit Awards and more. During the last three years alone we have been awarded over 40 SWPP Gold Awards and SWPP UK Digital Art Photographer of the Year.

We concentrate on studio portraiture of families, large family groups, children, couples, individuals and pets. Our camera room can easily accommodate a family group of up to twenty five people, even more if small children are involved.

All finishing work is carried out on the premises, this includes: printing, canvas wraps, retouching and digital art, mount cutting and we even make our own picture frames. This means we have total control over quality of our portraits from start to finish. We can also produce a finished framed portrait very quickie, if required.

Another major part of the business is old photograph copy and restoration. Restoring photographs is nothing new to us either; we’ve been doing this for over 40 years, long before the digital age. However, we can now achieve amazing results, never before thought possible, with the aid of all the latest technologies.
