The studio’s strength lies in its dedication to portraiture as a craft. Sessions are designed to put people at ease—Simon uses gentle guidance, quick rapport-building, and clear direction to help even camera-shy clients relax. The result is a series of expressions and poses that look spontaneous rather than staged, giving you portraits that work for business profiles, press materials, or personal keepsakes. Approach and process: Every portrait begins with a short consultation to understand your goals—whether you’re updating a professional headshot, building a personal brand, or capturing a family moment. In the studio, Simon focuses on flattering lighting, considered backgrounds and subtle posing to highlight individual features and character. Clients are offered a collaborative experience: input on styling and expression is welcomed, and Simon provides straightforward coaching throughout the shoot to ensure confident results. Specialist services include professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and business portraits, produced with the same portrait-first mindset. While portraiture is the core offering, Simon also works across weddings and select business and event assignments; when commissioned for those, the same eye for people and moment-driven composition applies. Passion and values: Simon’s work is driven by a belief that a great portrait should tell a story—about confidence, warmth or professionalism—without artifice. The studio aims to deliver images that clients are proud to use and to share. Based in Crewe, serving Cheshire and the surrounding areas, Simon J. Newbury Photography is the go-to portrait specialist for anyone seeking authentic, expertly made portraits and headshots.
