AJS Photographic Ltd

AJS Photographic Ltd is a Colchester-based portrait specialist led by Andy Sowerby, a photographer with over 30 years’ experience. Focused on professional portraiture, Andy combines a calm, personal approach with technical expertise and in-house printing to deliver consistent, true-to-life results you can rely on. Why choose AJS Photographic for portraits? From formal headshots to relaxed studio portraits, AJS treats every session with the same attention to detail. Andy’s years working with schools and local organisations have honed an ability to put people at ease—whether a nervous child, a busy professional needing a LinkedIn headshot, or a family wanting natural group portraits. All photographic work is carried out by a DBS-checked photographer and handled in a GDPR-compliant process for added peace of mind. What makes the approach special is the blend of professional kit and personal service. AJS operates a mobile studio and a high-capacity in-house lab, so portraits can be created on location or in a controlled studio setting and finished to exacting standards. Using colour-matched workflows and modern printing technology, the studio ensures accurate tones and high-quality prints every time. The result is professional portraits and headshots that reflect personality and purpose. How the process works: Andy keeps sessions efficient and stress-free. Before shoot day you’ll discuss the style you want—classic, contemporary or business-focused—and any practical needs. On the day AJS arrives prepared with lighting, backgrounds and a professional, friendly manner to get the best from each subject quickly. Proofs are provided so clients can choose final images, and digital delivery or printed products are produced through the studio’s controlled workflow. While portraiture is the core expertise, AJS Photographic also offers family portrait evenings and business portrait sessions for local companies, providing flexible options to suit schedules and budgets. Whether you need a standout corporate headshot, a framed studio portrait, or a relaxed family image, AJS Photographic brings skilled handling, high standards and a clear, personal service rooted in decades of experience in the Colchester area.
