Steve Edwards Photography - Commercial Photographer Nottingham

If you need a portrait photographer who understands how to make people look relaxed, authentic and professional, you’re in the right place. I’m Steve Edwards — a Nottingham-based commercial photographer with a particular focus on portrait and business headshots. My approach is simple and practical: put people at ease, use the right light and deliver images that genuinely represent you or your team. Why choose me for your portrait work? My background in commercial photography taught me that good images aren’t about tricks — they’re about preparation, light and human connection. I bring a mobile, battery-powered studio setup to your location so whether we’re shooting in Basford, a client’s office, or on site around Nottingham, I can create clean, consistent headshots without the hassle of studio hire. Clients tell me they value the relaxed, friendly atmosphere I create — it helps even camera-shy people feel comfortable and produce natural expressions. My portrait style is straightforward and professional. I focus on the head-and-shoulders images that work best for LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites and press materials, but I’m equally happy to explore more relaxed or creative looks when the brief allows. I use lighting to sculpt a convincing, flattering result and keep retouching light and honest — the aim is an accurate, confident representation of you, not an over-processed image. How I work: we start with a quick chat about the image you want to project, then I guide you through simple posing and expressions so the shoot feels easy. I pride myself on being efficient and respectful of your time, while still making room for variety — outfit changes, background options and a few different moods if needed. After the session I use a considered editing workflow to ensure consistency and quality across the set of portraits. I love this work because portraits are about people and stories. Whether you’re an entrepreneur refreshing a personal brand, a professional needing a LinkedIn-ready headshot, or a company updating team photos, I’ll treat your brief with the same no-nonsense professionalism and friendly service I’ve offered since I started in photography. If you’d like portraits that feel authentic and work hard for your business, get in touch and let’s plan a shoot.
