Ride Shotgun

Ride Shotgun brings a purposeful, studio-led approach to portrait photography from our Baildon base. As specialists in professional portraits and business headshots, we focus on making people look natural, confident and perfectly on-brand — whether it’s a single LinkedIn headshot or an executive team suite. Why choose Ride Shotgun for your portrait work? We combine creative direction with a practical production mindset. Our experience working with brands and commercial clients means we understand the role a portrait plays in a wider brand story: it must feel authentic, work across channels, and perform for recruitment, comms and digital profiles. We aim for portraits that do more than look good — they build trust and convey competence. What makes our approach special is how we balance ease with creative control. Sessions are calm and efficient: we start by listening to the individual and the brand brief, then guide posture, expression and lighting with clear, friendly direction. The result is relaxed subjects and purposeful images — headshots that read well at thumbnail size and look exceptional in larger brand materials. How we work with you: from first contact to final files we keep things joined-up and straightforward. We collaborate on styling and brief, run focused studio sessions tailored to your time and team size, then deliver professionally retouched images optimised for digital and print. For multi-person shoots we create consistent looks so every portrait feels part of the same family — ideal for leadership pages, agency bios or company reports. Our ethos mirrors Ride Shotgun’s wider way of working: no drama, no egos — just craft, care and dependable delivery. Based in Baildon, we’re local to Leeds and plugged into a broader production capability, which means we can scale a portrait brief as needed while keeping the session experience personal. If you need a portrait partner who understands business needs and makes the process easy, Ride Shotgun in Baildon specialises in professional headshots and business portraiture that help people and teams present their best, most authentic selves.
