Paul Wilkinson Photography

Paul Wilkinson Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Haddenham, Aylesbury. Paul — the studio’s Master Photographer — and his team focus on making portraiture that shows real character, not posed likenesses. Years of awards, commissions and teaching have shaped an approach that balances technical excellence with something far more human: warmth, humour and the ability to put people at ease. Why choose Paul Wilkinson Photography for your portrait? Because portraiture is what they do best. The studio’s work ranges from classical studio portraits to natural, lifestyle images made in the beautiful Turn End Gardens that open directly from the studio. Sessions are intentionally relaxed and friendly — clients often comment how “chilled” they feel and how laughter becomes part of the session. That atmosphere allows Paul to capture personalities and moments that feel honest and alive. What makes the approach special is the blend of craft and care. Paul brings an expert eye for light, composition and retouching, honed through decades of practice, published work and teaching (including the book Mastering Portrait Photography and the popular podcast of the same name). At the same time the studio experience is highly personal: from a warm greeting and a cup of tea to a screening-room reveal of fully edited images, the team guides you with taste and patience so you walk away with portraits you’ll be proud to display. How we work with you: sessions begin with a short chat about the look and mood you want — whether that’s a confident business headshot for LinkedIn, a more characterful personal portrait, or a handful of studio and garden images. During the shoot Paul keeps the mood light, giving gentle direction while looking for natural moments. After the session you relax in the screening room while the team shows you your favourites, already edited and ready for printing. If you’d like a framed piece, multi‑image layout or an edge‑to‑edge finish, the studio will help you visualise the final result and choose materials that suit your home or brand. If you need professional headshots or portraiture that truly represents you, Paul Wilkinson Photography in Aylesbury offers a specialist, award‑winning service delivered with warmth, humour and uncompromising craft.
