Brian Austwick Photography

I’m Brian Austwick — a portrait specialist in Carlisle who believes great professional portraits do more than look good; they build trust and tell your story. My approach is rooted in experience with corporate headshots, business portraits and personal-brand photography for clients across Cumbria and the Lake District. I focus on relaxed, natural results that work hard for your website, LinkedIn profile and marketing materials. What sets my portrait work apart is a combination of technical care and a down-to-earth way of working. I guide every subject through the session so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Whether you need crisp executive headshots for a law firm, approachable team photos for a small business, or striking portraits for a hospitality venue, I create images that reflect the real people behind your brand. I tailor each session around your needs. We start with a short consultation to define the tone and usage — online profiles, staff pages, press or promotional material — and then plan a portrait shoot that fits your schedule. I shoot on location across Carlisle and Cumbria and deliver studio-style lighting and composition wherever it’s most convenient for you. The result is consistent, high-quality imagery that matches your brand identity. Working with businesses is a core part of my practice. I understand how important fast turnaround, clear communication and consistent visual language are to commercial clients. My sessions are efficient and professional, and I edit each image to deliver polished, versatile files ready for web and print. If you want professional portraits that present your people with confidence and authenticity, let’s talk. Book a free consultation to discuss headshots, LinkedIn photos, executive portraits or team sessions. I’ll listen to your goals, offer practical advice, and create imagery that helps your business stand out — no stiff poses, just honest, well-crafted portraits that work for real marketing needs.
