John Comerford - Wedding Photographer

John Comerford is a local freelance portrait photographer based in Burton upon Trent, driven by a genuine passion for the art of photographing people. What began as a hobby has grown into a focused practice: creating portraits that reveal character, warmth and confidence. John’s relaxed, personable approach helps subjects feel at ease, so images look natural rather than overly posed — whether it’s a personal portrait, family shot or a professional headshot. Why choose John for portrait work? He combines an eye for composition with an emphasis on atmosphere and connection. John prefers to shoot in environments that suit you — comfortable on-location sessions or studio-style portraits produced using portable lighting and careful styling. This flexible approach means he can deliver the clean, impactful look of a studio portrait without requiring you to travel to a permanent studio space. The result is professional, flattering images that work beautifully for prints, portfolios and online profiles. John’s portrait style focuses on authenticity. He looks for small moments — insightful expressions, relaxed gestures and the particular light that brings a subject to life. For families and individual portraits he creates a friendly, unhurried atmosphere so genuine emotions come through. For business portraits and headshots (LinkedIn photos, professional profiles), John provides a considered, professional result that emphasises approachability and competence while staying true to your personality. Business photography is offered as an additional service alongside his primary portrait expertise. How John works: he listens first. A short conversation before the shoot establishes the mood, wardrobe and background that best suit your goals. On the day he guides you gently through poses and interactions, capturing a range of looks while keeping the session comfortable and enjoyable. After the shoot John carefully selects and edits the final images to bring out natural tones and clean clarity. Based in Burton upon Trent and active across the West Midlands and East Staffordshire, John Comerford delivers portrait photography shaped by passion, attention to detail and a commitment to creating honest, memorable images. If you want portraits that feel true and professional — whether for family, personal branding or business headshots — John makes the process straightforward and rewarding.
