Black Red Media

I’m Shane at Black Red Media — a Beckenham-based portrait specialist focused on creating strong, authentic images that represent you and your professional brand. My work centres on portrait and business photography: professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and business portraits that look current, natural and confidently you. What sets my portrait work apart is a blend of technical control and a relaxed, conversational approach. I use studio lighting and considered posing to shape flattering, professional images while encouraging a genuine expression. I aim to remove the stiffness often associated with corporate photography so clients leave with portraits that feel approachable, credible and unmistakably individual. My process is collaborative and straightforward. We start with a short consultation to understand how you’ll use the images and what impression you want to give — from corporate profiles to personal branding. On the day I guide you through simple posing, wardrobe choices and expressions, creating an atmosphere that keeps things calm and confident. Every shoot is tailored: I focus on capturing the subtleties of posture, eye contact and lighting that make a headshot work across websites, LinkedIn and marketing materials. Delivery is professional and efficient. I treat each image with careful editing and retouching so the final portraits are polished while retaining personality and character. Images are delivered digitally so you can update profiles and marketing quickly. While portrait and business headshots are my core focus, my portfolio also shows experience in complementary areas like fashion and beauty; this broader visual experience informs how I craft contemporary, editorial-influenced portraits when a more stylised look is needed. Nevertheless, my expert positioning remains squarely on portrait and business photography. If you’re in Beckenham or the surrounding areas and want a portrait that feels authentic, professional and ready for today’s digital landscape, let’s talk. I value clear communication, a calm studio atmosphere, and results that make clients feel seen and strong in their images.
