Martin Creates

I’m Martin — a Borehamwood-based portrait photographer focused on creating professional portraits and business headshots that feel authentic and purposeful. My work is rooted in storytelling: I capture the qualities people and brands want to communicate, whether that’s a confident LinkedIn headshot, a refined corporate portrait, or a natural studio portrait for personal branding. Why choose me for your portrait work? My background in marketing and project management means I approach shoots with a clear brief, strategic eye and calm organisation. I understand how a single image can influence perception online and in print, so I combine creative direction with technical care — from lighting and composition to expert retouching and fast delivery — to ensure your images make the right impression. My style balances polished professionalism with relaxed, authentic moments. I aim to put clients at ease: through friendly conversation, straightforward guidance and an approachable studio atmosphere. This makes sessions efficient and enjoyable, and it helps capture genuine expressions that work across websites, corporate portals and social profiles. How I work: we start with a short consultation to agree tone, wardrobe and usage — whether you need classic corporate headshots, creative portraits or LinkedIn-ready images. On the day I guide posing and expression, control lighting for a clean, flattering look, and prioritise quick, professional communication throughout. After the shoot I edit and retouch images with attention to natural skin tones and consistent colour so your final photos are ready for digital and print use. While portrait and business headshots are my core specialisms, I also offer complementary visual services when projects call for them. My aim is always the same: empower people and brands through clear, well-crafted imagery. If you’re in Borehamwood or nearby and want a portrait that truly represents your professional story, let’s talk. I focus on creating images that elevate your presence, reflect your personality, and help you make a memorable first impression.
