Testimonials

I’ve had my headshots taken every three or four years for professional use – the ones Onur took are the best I’ve ever had.

Nana Aaltonen

Director of Project Management at ARM

Onur made the session painless and even fun! The results were great. I really appreciated being able to see the photos as we went along and the sense of working together to create something that was right for my business. Thank you, Onur!

Rebecca Benton

Management Consultant

Onur did fantastic work for me! Not only did he create a very comfortable atmosphere at the shoot, but his photographs exceeded my expectations and he was patient and helpful as I (slowly and tediously) sorted through the images. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Valerie Appleby

Fashion Designer

As I arrived, I felt way out of my comfort zone but Onur is professional, warm and compassionate and I was quickly put at ease. The photographs are super super quality and did exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Onur and his service.

First time having my portrait photographed. Onur made me feel relaxed and guided me through the process. Very pleased with the result.

Ian Donald

Set Designer

Absolute first class experience with Onur Pinar Photography. Same day appointment was arranged almost instantaneously as I needed some portrait photos urgently. Great interactions with Onur at the session in his comfortable Cambridge studio. What really impressed me is that Onur was truly into ‘co-creation’ to produce the sort of timeless, classical visual effects I had in mind. The final outcome was simply amazing – exactly the highest level of quality I was expecting for. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Oliver Goh

I highly recommend corporate photo sessions with Onur. He is excellent at making people feel at ease and confident and he does this in a very down-to-earth, warm and friendly manner. He brings out the best in people and his photos are fabulous. Thanks Onur for a good, and unexpectedly fun, session.

Sarah Jaggers

Executive Coach

I am very happy with the results from my recent head shot session with Onur. He was so relaxed to work with, and I knew from the first few shots that it was going to be fun and productive, rather than something to dread! I love his use of shade and light, and his ability to capture personality. Thanks Onur

Tania Brint

Business Coach

So thrilled with my pictures – really professional while also capturing my personality! Onur is fun to work with, a lovely guy, makes you feel at ease in front of the camera, has great tips for making you look even better (!) and is an incredibly talented photographer. His packages are very well priced and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to have excellent, modern and beautiful photographs.

Kirsten Smith

Business Coach

As one that’s much more comfortable behind the camera, it’s fair to say I was rather nervous at the thought of having a professional headshot taken. I can’t believe how relaxed you made me feel, how much confidence you gave me and that I even managed a smile! I love the supplied headshots and would have no hesitation recommending Onur Pinar Photography to others. Many thanks Onur.

Ali Rice

Business Mentor

Went to Onur for my first ever photo shoot and had such a great experience. I was made to feel welcome and comfortable from the start, coached through the whole thing and given very clear directions on how to stand or hold my face and expressions. I was never made to feel rushed and he was very happy and relaxed about time to take as many pics as I wanted, and in as many clothes changes as I wanted to try out. Once we were done shooting Onur helped me choose which ones I wanted (getting it down to 5 was no easy task) and the professional advice and opinions were greatly appreciated. Overall I would 100% recommend Onur and have even taken a couple business cards to give out to others. Thanks for a great day 🙂

I enjoyed working with Onur so much. I am amazed by his ability to capture the poetry and humanity of each person, at the perfect balance point between a straight document – which could be a visual one-liner – and a highly stylised artwork – which could take focus away from the person. Thank you for your time and artistry! 🙂

Anna Hughes

Yoga Teacher

A very enjoyable session with Onur, and the portrait photos exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with both with his technical skill and his ability to make me feel relaxed in front of the camera (which is quite something!). The shoot never felt rushed, allowing us time to explore and find out what worked best. I now look at cameras and photography in a completely different light…

Stephen Powell

I had a wonderful session with Onur, in which he actually made me feel photogenic the first time in my life! It was relaxing and enjoyable, and he showed his skill and expertise at every step. Lovely new website as well – well done Onur!

Elizabeth English

Onur is an exceptional portrait photographer. He makes his clients feel comfortable and relaxed and is able to deliver beautiful shots with ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and stylish portrait.

Jenny Sidey

Cambridge University Lecturer.

I asked Onur to take my head shots for promoting my business because on first meeting he came across as professional and kind. I thought I’d feel very awkward posing but he made the session such fun and really taught me a lot about posing without it feeling staged. I am absolutely thrilled with the photographs.

Sally Jackson

Health coach

Having been highly impressed with the quality of Onur Pinar’s portfolio, I booked a portrait session for professional use, and was delighted with the result. He works quickly and effortlessly, and is good company. Thoroughly recommended.

David Earl

Pianist

I tend to hate all my personal pictures but Onur dare me to try his expertise and boy! … I love each one of the pictures he took, he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I have hired him for LETS Cambridge too and he is doing an excellent job updating the website pictures. If your business depends on the image you display I recommend you contact him, he won’t let you down!

Esperanza de Felipe

Property Investor

I am very happy with my new portrait photographs. Onur was so patient with me and creative in getting a wide range of shots that I can use in different situations for my digital communications consultancy work. He has a well equipped professional studio and natural creativity, professionalism and charm. Highly recommended if you need top quality photos.

Jeremy Peters

Communications and Social Media Manager

Thank you, Onur, for a photo session that was surprisingly enjoyable! I was not looking forward to having my photo taken, but you were so professional and personable that it was a real pleasure. You helped me to feel at ease and guided me to chose photos that were best suited to my needs. Thanks again!

Jane Brackley

Pianist

I approached Onur for a series of head shots I needed in relation to job searches, as well as some other shots more for fun. Like most people I had never spent any time posing for studio shots so was anxious about forcing out a smile on demand. Thankfully, Onur was immediately likeable and easygoing (which helped build trust quickly), yet also professional in how he handled the shoot. Onur was great at suggesting a range of interesting alternatives, as well as offering helpful feedback on what he felt would work well which I really appreciated. Overall it was a fun experience and I’d definitely recommend Onur to anyone with a similar need for headshots or portraits.

Neil Jasani

Lawyer

Onur is the best portrait photographer I know – I’m a keen photographer myself, and I even teach photography workshops, but Onur’s work is in another league. His friendly relaxed presence just puts people immediately at ease, he has wonderful intuition about what light will work best, and gets some really gorgeous results.

Shakya Kumara

Mindfulness Coach

I was searching for Cambridge Photographers for the advertising campaign of my new book. Onur Pinar was very kind and welcoming. He patiently tried several options until we found the right light and posture. We talked about my work so that the picture would correspond to what I try to convey in the book. I am very happy with the final result.

Luigi Gioia

I recently had a portrait photo shoot with Onur for a professional headshot (I’m an opera singer). The whole experience was very professional but Onur also put me at ease very quickly. I had so many great photos, the hardest thing was narrowing it down to the best 20 🙂 I’ve had lots of comments from friends and prospective employers that the new photo on my CV is great, and really shows my character, which is exactly what I was after

Bronwen Stephens

Mezzo Soprano

Onur is a talented photographer – I’m the last person who’d enjoy being in front of a camera, but the session went well and ended up with some great shots; recommended.
