Jay Duncan Photography

If you’re after honest, striking portraits that really feel like you, Jay Duncan is your Chapeltown portrait specialist. With over 20 years behind the camera, Jay’s approach is simple: create a relaxed atmosphere, have fun, and capture the natural expression that makes a photograph memorable. He’s built his reputation on helping even the most camera-shy clients feel at ease, which means more genuine smiles, confident headshots and portraits you’ll be proud to share. Based in Chapeltown and working from a professional studio in Ecclesfield, Sheffield, Jay focuses on studio portrait work and business portraits — from classic headshots to LinkedIn-ready images. Sessions are tailor-made: before the shoot there’s a quick chat about the look you want, guidance on wardrobe and posing, and a plan for lighting and backdrop choices that suit your personality and purpose. Jay prefers a mix of posed and natural moments and often produces both colour and black-and-white images to give clients a versatile set of photographs. What sets Jay apart is the combination of decades of experience and a down-to-earth style. He doesn’t believe in stiff, overly posed pictures. Instead, he directs gently, gets the best from you with relaxed conversation and clear posing cues, and creates an atmosphere where people actually enjoy the session. Whether you need a polished corporate headshot, a creative portrait for social media, or a timeless family portrait taken in a studio setting, Jay positions lighting and composition to highlight your best features and personality. For business portraits, Jay focuses on clarity, flattering lighting and subtle retouching so your photos look professional but authentic — perfect for company profiles, websites and LinkedIn. Clients receive high-resolution digital images optimised for web and print, carefully edited to ensure they reflect the image you want to project. Booking is by appointment to ensure a relaxed, unhurried session. If you want a portrait experience that blends professional results with a friendly, personal touch, Jay Duncan Photography in Chapeltown delivers — specialist portrait work you’ll love to keep and share.
