Shaun Barr Photography

I specialise in portrait photography — professional headshots, studio portraits and mobile sessions tailored for business, LinkedIn profiles and personal branding. Based in Ulverston and working across Cumbria including Barrow in Furness, my aim is to make every portrait feel natural, confident and entirely yours. Why choose me? My work combines years of studio experience with a relaxed, friendly approach. My images have been published and used in broadcast work, and I bring that same attention to craft and detail to every portrait session. Whether you need a clean, corporate headshot for a website or a more characterful portrait for personal use, I focus on creating authentic images that reflect who you are. What makes my approach different is the way I put people at ease. A portrait is best when it’s relaxed — not posed and stiff — so I start by talking through what you want the image to say. I use professional lighting and a mobile studio when needed, so sessions can take place at my pop-up studio, in your workplace, or at a location that suits you. This flexibility means I can capture polished business portraits or more informal, personality-led images depending on your brief. How we work: before the shoot we’ll discuss styling, wardrobe and the intended use of the images so every choice supports your goals. On the day I guide you through simple poses and expressions, keeping the mood calm and conversational. After the session I professionally edit the selected images and deliver high-quality files ready for web and print — with quick turnaround for most headshot work. I’ve found that clear communication, careful lighting and a calm atmosphere produce the strongest portraits. If you’re based in Barrow in Furness or nearby and want a portrait that genuinely represents you or your business, get in touch and we’ll plan a session that fits your needs. Friendly, professional and focused on results — that’s my promise for every portrait shoot.
