Paul Adams - Photographer

I’m Paul Adams — a portrait photographer based in Blackburn with decades of experience helping people and businesses show their best selves. My focus is portrait photography: professional headshots, LinkedIn portraits, environmental portraits and team images created to support your brand, website and communications. Why choose me? Over the years I’ve developed a straightforward, low‑fuss approach that puts people at ease. My clients often tell me how relaxed they feel on set — which matters, because the best portraits come when people stop worrying about the camera and simply act like themselves. Whether you need a crisp headshot for a bio, a friendly LinkedIn portrait or more atmospheric environmental portraits shot in your workplace, I tailor each session to the individual and the message you want to send. My style is honest and direct. I work to capture personality and presence rather than forcing a one‑size‑fits‑all look. For corporate commissions I balance the requirements of brand guidelines with a creative eye: the result is professional images that are suitable for reports, PR, websites and social media while still feeling authentic. How I work: I keep the process collaborative and efficient. Before a shoot we talk through aims and locations and I’ll suggest simple ideas to get the best results from the time available. On the day I work quickly and calmly, helping people with posing and expression so even camera‑shy subjects feel comfortable. After the shoot I deliver images through secure, password‑protected galleries — clients appreciate the easy proofing, favourites and download options and the fast turnaround I aim for. Based in Blackburn, I travel across the North West and the UK when needed, and I’ve photographed teams and individuals for a wide variety of clients. If you want professional portraits that genuinely reflect who you are and what your organisation stands for, get in touch — I’ll be happy to discuss how we can create images that work hard for your business.
