Chris Booth Photos

I’m Chris Booth — a Darlington-based, award-winning photographer with a long background in press and commercial work. My portrait photography is built on that fast-paced, editorial experience: I know how to find the moment that says the most about a person and translate it into a business portrait that feels natural, confident and authentic. Why choose me for your portrait or professional headshot? My years at regional newspapers and work across business and PR photography have sharpened my ability to read light, composition and personality quickly. Whether you need a strong LinkedIn photo, an executive headshot or team portraits that show the people behind your brand, I bring a calm, professional manner that helps even camera-shy clients relax and look their best. My approach is collaborative and straightforward. I spend time before the session understanding how you want to be perceived — authoritative, approachable, creative or corporate — and tailor the shoot to that brief. On the day I focus on putting you at ease, using gentle direction and conversation to capture authentic expressions rather than stiff poses. The result is professional portraiture that supports your personal brand and your business goals. Because much of my work has been for business, PR and editorial clients, I’m used to creating images that work across websites, press releases and social profiles. I aim for clean, timeless portraits with a subtle editorial edge that stand out without feeling forced. My experience covering events, sport and commercial assignments across the North East informs a flexible, reliable workflow — you get high-quality images delivered efficiently, with the professional standards your organisation expects. Based in Darlington and serving clients across the North East, I welcome commissions from individuals and businesses who need portrait photography with integrity and impact. If you want a headshot that tells your story clearly and professionally, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your brief, create a relaxed session and deliver images designed to help you make the right impression.
