As a portrait photographer in Bristol & Bath I pride myself on being approachable and making people feel at ease during portrait sessions. Whether it’s a corporate shoot, a TV promo, actor headshots, a creative magazine portrait, a business case study, a relaxed profile for a blog, dating app photos, or a posed shot for a press release, I focus on creating a comfortable and collaborative experience.

I believe that discussing your needs and goals before the session is essential. For instance, with actor headshots – a crucial tool for securing auditions – we can determine the exact mood and impression you want to convey.

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.

It’s always a pleasure to work with the many talented make-up artists and stylists on various photo shoots, we work with each other to make the most of the time we have with the portrait subject. The mood is always jovial and fun, which carries along the session nicely. 

 

Always remember to remember the final photo and what it needs to achieve.

The success of a photoshoot often lies in thoughtful choices and remembering what you set out to achieve. Considerations such as selecting a dominant colour palette, opting for black and white, muted tones, or vibrant saturation can help stylise the shoot but also looking back at the original need for the photos, where will they be used, how will they be look in-situ? If you’re unsure what would work best, I’m happy to suggest ideas and help craft the perfect look to suit your vision.
