Corporate and Executive Portraits and Headshots taken in The Midlands
One of the most common assignments for me as a photographer is the Corporate Headshot. I’ve no idea how many headshots I’ve taken, but its a lot !
They are incredibly important to any business, not least to the individual concerned. They add a human touch to any business in terms of ‘this is the person I’m working with’. Organisations are really just people and its incredibly important for clients to see just who they talk to and e-mail on a day-to-day basis, even if they may be on the other side of the planet.
The image shows a selection of the many headshots I’ve taken, this was just one session, in one organisation.
For this type of headshot there’s no need for you to visit a studio, or for me to bring masses of equipment to you. Just a couple of small flashguns and a simple background is all it needs. Most images can be taken in less than 5 minutes.

Back to my roots – Black and White Portraits
I’m not sure if this is a result of trends in the photography industry generally, or a resurrection of a passion for the roots of my photography. Either way, I just love black and white right now. I’m wondering how long it will be before I load up the old film camera again.
There’s something about the way black and white shows the emotion in the subject more than colour ever can.
This portrait was taken at a party, and the subject, Hannah was just lit by the fridge light as she opened the door. The use of a really fast prime lens and that beautiful light just has a certain something. Add in a bit of post processing to give the feel of old Agfa film and you have a winning combination.
Once you start digging into the past its amazing what you find. Here’s an ad for the Polaroid camera. Now there’s a thought …….

Portrait Photographer in Cambridge – Business Portraits
While I’m based in Cambridge, my portrait photography allows me to travel between London and the Midlands. This shoot was no exception. This assignment involved business portraits in Harlow and was a rush job. The brief was to provide a range of headshots for a magazine article such that the magazine editors could make their own selection.
The shoot was completed within the 24 hour deadline, including uploading images to an online proofing gallery, and making the high resolution images available for download.
