Portraits With Presence
Authored portraiture for creatives, professionals and public-facing individuals who care about how they are seen.
Free portrait session · £20 per photo you love · No packages · No pressure
Only keep what you love.
Portraits are personal.
You should not have to commit to a package before seeing yourself in the images.
The session is free, then you choose only the photos you genuinely love and want to keep.
Free portrait session
No upfront session fee.
£20 per photo
Only buy the images you actually love.
No pressure
If you don’t love a photo, you don’t buy it.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
Most people arrive saying the same thing: “I’m not good in front of a camera.” You don’t need to be. I guide the session so you feel comfortable, natural and never left wondering what to do.

FAQ
Below you’ll find answers to common questions
Is the session really free?
Yes. There is no upfront session fee. After the session, you view the images and only pay for the portraits you choose to keep.
Do I have to buy any photos?
No. You only buy the images you genuinely love. There are no fixed packages and no pressure to choose more.
Why no packages?
Because I don’t think you should have to decide how many photos you want before you’ve even seen them.
After the session, you choose the portraits you love and only pay for those.
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.
