Bristol Portrait and Headshot Photographer

I pride myself in being easy to work with and I like to put people at ease when they’re having a portrait session, whether it’s for a corporate photo shoot, a TV promo shoot, head shots, a magazine creative portrait session, a customer case study, a relaxed profile shot for a blog, dating app portraits or a posed shot for a press release. 

I find it’s good to discuss exactly what my subjects want before actually starting a session, a good example of this is with actor headshots which are so important and can be the difference between getting an audition or not… we can work out exactly the feel you want to put across. Of course, not everybody knows what they want from a photo session, but I can always suggest various looks and feels as necessary.

On occasion my clients need pictures within minutes of the shoot and I can process photos on my laptop on-site straight away ready for press, live image feeds and social media, an essential service as a freelance photographer. I can also provide images in the correct format to create reels and videos.

I often work with make-up artists and stylists on photo shoots, whether it’s in the Bristol area or further afield.

TFP Sessions

When time allows, I like to do TFP sessions with models looking to expand their portfolios (Time For Prints: photographer and model work without payment and both get the photos to use for their portfolios), get in touch if you’re interested in this.
