Andy Phillips Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my studio base at Duxbury Manor in Chorley. At Andy Phillips Photography I focus on creating professional studio and business portraits that show people at their most natural and confident. Whether you need a headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait for company profiles, or a personal studio portrait, my aim is to capture the character behind the face — honest, considered and usable across your professional and personal life. My approach is calm, collaborative and straightforward. Before the session we discuss the look and purpose of your images so every decision — lighting, backdrop, pose and retouching — supports the outcome you need. In the studio I work to put people at ease: clear direction, small adjustments and a relaxed pace help produce authentic expressions rather than stiff formality. The result is professional images that feel like you and communicate confidence and competence. Technically I favour a studio environment where lighting and composition are controlled to create flattering, consistent portraits suitable for business use. I pay close attention to posture, eye contact and subtle gestures so the finished image reads well at both web and print sizes. Retouching is applied with restraint to enhance rather than alter — the goal is a natural, polished finish that represents you professionally. Working with me is a straightforward process: a brief conversation to define aims, a studio session tailored to your schedule, and expertly finished images delivered in formats suited to online profiles and print. I can advise on wardrobe, styling and how to prepare for the shoot so you feel ready and confident on the day. While portraiture is my primary focus, I also offer related creative work including wedding photography, fine art prints and one-to-one workshops and nature photography on occasion. These sit alongside the portrait work and inform my eye for composition, light and mood.
