People and Portrait Photography Liverpool

High quality professional commercial and business portrait and people photography with real personality and character. 

I have a mobile studio I can bring to your workplace for formal commercial business images or can make interesting location suggestions for something a little different. I try and use natural light wherever possible but have a multi-light set up for interior and night work. I have bags of experience from working in the corporate sector, taking images of CEOs and VIPs, through to social photography at parties, weddings and all sorts of family gatherings.

If you are an influencer or an expert in your field, don't forget trade magazines, newspapers and online news outlets will more likely post your opinions if you have a top portrait to go with the piece. And of course every conference will want these as well, so don't delay in getting a new portrait commissioned if you have a speaker slot or presentation on the horizon.

Obviously I can help with arranging prints and make suggestions for exhibitions, frames, multi imaged frames, top quality art prints and large canvas wrap displays. Also I know what works well for social media and web sites. Finally, I provide a first class actor and performer style headshot and head and shoulders photograph, ready for agencies and the Spotlight website.

So if you  are looking to construct the perfect editorial image, get creative with some light and post processed effects, or simply make a beautiful candid portrait photograph - please give me a call or book an appointment.

I am based in Liverpool and cover Cheshire, Manchester, Lancashire, North Wales and am more than happy to travel across the UK - drop me an email and I will come back with a competitive quote. Finally, if you are after family portraits please visit my Liverpool lifestyle photography site for more details.

Creating a professional portrait

If you or your company need formal corporate headshots, or more relaxed, natural portraits, I'm your guy. Based in Liverpool, I cover Merseyside, the North-West and across the UK.

I am available for on location work, using quality Pro Digital SLR Nikon equipment providing a quick online image delivery service to all clients.

I have a mobile studio to create quality business headshot portraits for you and your team on-site.

Planning the shoot

We'll work together beforehand on a brief and figure out what is best for you or your brand. Of course there are a few options to discuss and I can advise on suitability.

Traditionally corporate headshots are taken with a plain black or white background - I have a portable studio that I can bring - all we need is a little private space and about 10 square metres.

If you are looking for a more contemporary feel, I can suggest workplace scenarios and create some in camera blur to knock back backgrounds.
