Portraits With Presence
Authored portraiture for influencers, creatives and professionals who care about how they are seen.
LinkedIn, Website, Profile
These portraits are often used for LinkedIn profiles, professional websites, press features and public-facing roles.
The focus is not the platform, but how you are perceived across them.
Presence, not performance
I photograph professionals who take their identity seriously.
The work is calm, intentional and shaped around presence rather than performance.

FAQ
Below you’ll find answers to common questions
Is this still suitable for LinkedIn and corporate websites?
Yes. The work is designed for professional use, it simply has more presence and intention than a standard headshot.
Do you work only with creatives?
I work with individuals who take how they are seen seriously.
That includes creatives, academics and professionals — the approach stays the same.
I’m not used to being photographed, is that a problem?
Not at all. Most people I work with don’t enjoy being photographed.
The session is calm and guided, with no pressure to perform or pose.
How much direction do you give?
Enough to help you feel comfortable — and enough space to let something natural emerge.
There’s no acting, no forced expression.
Will the portraits still look like me?
Yes. The aim isn’t transformation, but accuracy.
You’ll look like yourself — just with clarity and presence.
Is this a quick headshot session?
No. I work primarily with individuals and small teams.
Sessions are unhurried and shaped around the person, not a production line.
Do you work with large teams?
I focus primarily on individuals and select small teams (up to 5).
This keeps the work authored and consistent not a production line.
Where do you shoot?
Leeds and London. Studio or location depending on the look you want and how you’ll use the portraits.
How much retouching do you do?
Elegant, natural retouching: temporary blemishes reduced, distractions cleaned, texture preserved.
You’ll still look like yourself.
