Junk Photography Studio

Junk Photography Studio is a Burngreave-based specialist in portrait photography and professional business portraits. Run by Chris Carter, the studio’s approach is refreshingly human: honest, relaxed and a little bit cheeky. If you’re after authentic images that feel like you (not like an awkward corporate passport photo), this is where to come. Why choose Junk for your portrait or headshot? Because Chris treats portraiture as a conversation, not a production line. His style blends natural, unforced moments with careful lighting and composition — the result is professional portraits that still show personality. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a business portrait for your website or a more creative personal portrait, Chris focuses on putting subjects at ease so the camera captures genuine expressions. How we work: sessions are deliberately uncomplicated. Before your shoot Chris will talk through what you want to achieve, suggest practical choices on clothing and background, and tailor the session to your comfort level. In the studio — a characterful space in an old school building in Burngreave — lighting is used to flatter and define, never to overwhelm. For business clients he concentrates on clarity and presence: simple backgrounds, strong eye contact, and images that translate well across LinkedIn profiles, websites and marketing materials. What makes Junk different is the mix of technical know-how and an unpretentious style. Chris has earned the ‘not terrible and above adequate’ badge intentionally — he believes great portraits come from relaxed chemistry, a clear brief, and a willingness to try small ideas until something clicks. Clients often comment that sessions feel more like a relaxed chat than a formal shoot, which helps produce natural, confident photographs. While portrait and business headshots are the core offering, the studio also supports other related needs: short coaching sessions to help you prepare for your shoot, and occasional studio hire if you prefer to bring your own team. These are secondary to the portrait speciality and simply exist to help clients get the best results. If you want a professional portrait that feels like you — uncomplicated, well-lit and genuine — drop Chris an inbox. Junk Photography Studio in Burngreave prides itself on straightforward, expert portrait photography that puts people first.
