Christchurch Headshot Photographer

Sky Petch is a specialist portrait photographer based in Christchurch, positioned to deliver professional portraits and business headshots that genuinely represent you and your brand. With more than 15 years working commercially, Sky has refined a people-first approach that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax and look their best. Portrait photography is his primary focus — the craft he’s chosen to excel at — and he brings that focused expertise to every studio and on-location session. Why choose Sky for portrait and business headshots? He treats every shoot as a brief in storytelling: understanding who you need to speak to and creating images that do the talking. Whether you need a clean, approachable LinkedIn photo, a confident CEO portrait for corporate channels, or a series of refined business portraits for a company ‘about’ page, Sky’s work aims to be refined, natural and effective. His calm, practical manner and experience working with a wide range of people — from tradespeople to healthcare professionals and executives — means the final images feel authentic, not posed. How Sky works: every portrait session begins with a conversation about your goals and audience. In the studio or on location in Christchurch he focuses on lighting, expression and small directional cues that bring out your best look. Expect clear guidance on posture, expression and wardrobe choices so the session is efficient, comfortable and productive. Sky’s process is collaborative — he listens to the brief, adapts to the situation, and crafts portraits that align with your professional identity. A storyteller at heart, Sky draws on a varied background — science, design and long experience in commercial photography — to problem-solve and produce images that work hard for you. He has photographed thousands of clients since 2010 and has a proven track record helping individuals and businesses stand out in an image-rich world. While portrait and business photography are his core specialisms, Sky also occasionally works on related projects such as event and fashion shoots and runs photography workshops — always maintaining portrait work as his principal expertise.
