McPherson Commercial Photography

McPherson Commercial Photography is a dedicated portrait specialist based in Bristol, focused on creating professional studio portraits and business headshots that look natural, confident and unmistakably authentic. Our work is rooted in a simple belief: great portraits do more than show a face — they communicate personality, professional credibility and the story you want to tell to clients, colleagues and employers. Why choose McPherson Commercial Photography? We combine commercial discipline with a portrait-led sensitivity. That means every session is designed to produce usable, polished images for LinkedIn, company profiles and other professional needs, while retaining the warmth and individuality that makes each subject memorable. Whether you need a succinct headshot for a corporate site or a studio portrait that reflects your personal brand, you’ll get images that feel both professional and personal. Our approach is relaxed and collaborative. Sessions are run with clear direction but without stiffness — we use conversational prompts and subtle adjustments to posture, expression and lighting so that even camera-shy clients feel at ease. The studio environment is calm and efficient, focused on getting the right results quickly while allowing time to refine looks and expressions. We prioritise communication before and during the shoot: from discussing wardrobe and background choices to reviewing test frames together, clients are involved in shaping their final images. Experience and attention to detail matter. Lighting, composition and a consistent retouching workflow ensure portraits that work across print and digital platforms. We pay close attention to how images read at thumbnail size for LinkedIn and on larger corporate pages, delivering files optimised for both. Rooted in Bristol, we understand the local business community and what regional professionals need from their portraits. McPherson Commercial Photography brings a commercial sensibility to every portrait session — balancing personality with purpose to create images that open doors and build trust. If you’re seeking studio portraits or business headshots that present you at your best, McPherson Commercial Photography offers focused expertise, a friendly process and results that make a strong professional impression.
