David Myers is a Brighton-based portrait specialist. From his large, light central studio he crafts natural, editorial and professional headshots—ideal for actors, creatives and business profiles.
I specialise in portrait photography and run a large, light studio in central Brighton where I make portraits that actually do the job they were hired to do: reveal character, tell a story and get noticed. My work sits at the intersection of natural, editorial and clean professional portraiture — the kind of images actors, musicians, writers and business people choose when they need pictures that feel authentic and confident. Why choose me? Because portraiture is my core focus. Over many years I’ve developed a relaxed, conversational approach that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax. I direct with clarity, listen to what you want to say, and find the look that best represents you — whether that’s a Spotlight-ready headshot, a moody creative portrait for press and album covers, or a crisp business portrait for LinkedIn and company profiles. My aim is never to make a generic image but to capture the nuance that makes you memorable. My Brighton studio gives me flexibility: plenty of natural light, space for movement and the kit to create anything from simple, clean headshots to more editorial lighting setups. Sessions are collaborative and unhurried — we try looks, swap ideas, and I coach expressions and posture so you get a strong set of images to use across casting sites, press materials, websites and social profiles. I’m known for an easy-going atmosphere (good coffee, decent music and the occasional custard-cream), fast turnaround and photography that feels both professional and human. While portrait work is my specialism, I also provide business portraiture to help companies and professionals present themselves well online and in print. I can adapt the session to suit in-studio or location needs, and I welcome clients from across Brighton, Sussex and the south of England. Ultimately what drives me is a love of people and faces — the tiny gestures, the look in the eye, the moment when someone’s personality translates into a single frame. If you want portraits that are honest, well-crafted and tailored to your industry or creative work, I’d love to help you make them in Brighton.
