With more than three decades behind the camera, Colin’s work focuses firmly on portrait and business photography—creating professional headshots, corporate portraits and studio portraits that feel authentic, considered and immediately useful for websites, PR and LinkedIn. Why choose Colin? His practice grew from a Fine Art background and a long career shooting people for advertising, editorial and campaign work.

Clients repeatedly praise Colin’s calm, conversational manner—he puts people at ease and gets the best from both camera-shy subjects and seasoned professionals. What makes the approach special is the blend of creativity and efficiency. Studio sessions at Hawkeye offer a controlled environment with a range of backgrounds and lighting options so images match your brand and brief. If you need portraits with context, Colin can also shoot on location—bringing a compact studio setup to offices or workplaces to create authentic business portraits that tell a company story as well as focusing on the individual. How he works: every portrait session begins with a conversation about intent—whether you need a crisp corporate headshot, a more relaxed executive portrait or a LinkedIn-ready image. Colin advises on pose, wardrobe and subtle direction, keeping the session relaxed and collaborative so natural expressions come through. He balances thoughtful lighting setups with swift, professional workflow so clients receive polished images quickly without compromising quality. Colin’s portraits are designed to be practical as well as striking: suitable for websites, press, marketing and professional networks. He values clear communication, careful planning and a collaborative spirit—listening to ideas, adding creative input and delivering images that represent people and businesses with integrity.
