Lewthwaite Photography

Stockholm, Sweden

Associate Member and Creative Mentor with Headshots Matter


I’m a Scottish portrait/headshot photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. I primarily shoot out of my home studio, but also offer location sessions. My approach to headshots are that they need to convey a message and portraits can be more artistic. I always spend a lot of time finding out what you need from your session and I will give you the time you need to get the pictures you want and work for you.

A Few Things Clients Ask Sean

What makes a great headshot?
For me, a great headshot is more than a nice expression or good lighting. It should communicate something about who you are and help people connect with you. My goal is to create photographs that feel authentic and tell a story about the person in front of the camera.

I've never enjoyed being photographed. Can you help?
Absolutely. Many of the people I photograph tell me they're nervous before their session. I take time to get to know you, explain the process, and help you feel comfortable before we start shooting. Most clients are surprised by how relaxed and enjoyable the experience becomes.

Do you photograph both actors and business professionals?
Yes. While I am well known for actor headshots, I also work with executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and corporate teams. The goal is always the same—to create portraits that feel genuine and support your professional goals.

Where do sessions take place?
I offer sessions in my home studio in Södermalm, Stockholm, as well as on location. Together we'll choose an environment that best suits the style and purpose of the photographs you need.


What Others Are Saying

"A truly professional photographer with a passion for what he does. Is able to break the ice easily and create an environment where laughs come naturally, and where I (and my family) where very comfortable with him being around and taking pictures. Extremely pleased with the final result!"

Maarten Stuurman


"Working with actors has taught me how much trust and direction matter in a portrait. These same lessons apply when I photograph executives and corporate teams here in Stockholm — helping people feel comfortable so their confidence shows through."
