Dickon Clark Photography

Hi — I’m Dickon Clark LRPS, a professionally qualified portrait photographer based in Belper. I specialise in portraiture and run a purpose-built studio here in Derbyshire, while also working on location with the Peak District on my doorstep. My approach is simple: create relaxed, genuine images that reflect who you are, whether that’s a confident business headshot, a playful family portrait or a tender newborn session. Why choose me? I bring decades of experience and a calm, friendly manner that helps clients feel at ease in front of the camera. Whatever the style you need — contemporary studio portraits, formal headshots, environmental portraits or model portfolios — I treat each session with the same care and attention to detail. I believe good portraiture is built on rapport: I listen, give clear direction when needed and encourage natural moments so the final images feel authentic, not staged. How I work: my purpose-built Belper studio is equipped for everything from clean, high-impact headshots to more involved family or newborn shoots. For clients who prefer their own surroundings or want the landscape as part of the picture, I bring the same professional lighting and kit on location. Corporate clients benefit from a fully mobile set-up for on-site headshots and business portraits, making it easy to capture consistent, professional imagery at your workplace. What makes my portrait work special is a combination of technical skill and a straightforward, enjoyable shoot experience. I take the time to plan each session — from simple lighting choices to small styling suggestions — so that the shoot runs smoothly and produces images you’re proud to use on LinkedIn, company sites, family walls or modelling portfolios. I enjoy photographing all ages and situations: business headshots, families, newborns, cake-smash fun, environmental and equine portraits, plus model portfolios. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Belper who values clarity, character and calm professionalism, I’d love to hear from you.
