Carol Herbert Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my base in Chapeltown, creating natural, confident images for individuals, families and businesses across South Yorkshire. Portraiture is a core focus of my work — I aim to make every session relaxed and enjoyable so the real you comes through. Whether you need a standout LinkedIn headshot, a professional business portrait for corporate profiles or a personal portrait you’ll be proud to display, I bring a calm, friendly approach that helps even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease. My style is warm, unobtrusive and personable. I favour authentic moments over stiff posing and combine careful use of light, flattering angles and thoughtful composition to produce portraits that feel genuine. If you prefer a studio-style look, I offer mobile lighting and backdrops that recreate a professional studio environment in your home or at a suitable location. If you’d rather be photographed in a favourite outdoor spot or around your workplace, I’ll work with the setting to deliver images that suit your personality and purpose. Because business portraits and headshots are often used across websites, social media and press materials, I place particular emphasis on delivering versatile files that work everywhere. Expect clear guidance before and during the shoot — from wardrobe and background advice to subtle posing prompts — so we get strong, usable images quickly. Every image is hand-edited using professional software to refine colour, remove distractions and present you at your best; bespoke retouching is available where required. With a long background in commercial imagery and many years producing work for websites, magazines and press, I understand what makes a portrait succeed in both digital and print contexts. I also offer print options produced with archival-quality inks and papers for those who want framed prints or keepsakes. Booking is simple: a brief pre-shoot conversation to agree the look you want, a relaxed photoshoot in Chapeltown or nearby, and delivery of carefully edited digital files ready to use. If you’re after professional, friendly portrait photography with a personal touch — from LinkedIn headshots to timeless family portraits — I’d love to help you create images that truly reflect who you are.
