William Hickie Photography

I’m Will — a Denton-based portrait photographer who brings an outdoor photographer’s eye and an approachable, relaxed style to professional and personal portraiture. After eight years working across weddings, landscape and commercial commissions, I focus on creating portraits that feel genuine, not staged. My aim is simple: make you comfortable, capture the real you, and deliver images that work hard for your personal brand or business profile. Why choose me for your portrait or business headshot? I blend technical experience with a people-first approach. My background in documentary-style wedding work taught me to find honest moments under pressure; my landscape work trained me to read and shape light. That combination means I can craft portraits with atmosphere and clarity — headshots that are polished for LinkedIn, relaxed professional portraits for company profiles, or expressive images for creatives and portfolios. What makes my approach different is how I work with you. Sessions are tailored to your needs: a quick, focused headshot for a professional profile, or a slightly longer portrait session to explore mood, lighting and expression. I prioritise a calm, friendly atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. We start with a short chat about your goals and the image you want to project, then I guide you through simple directions while keeping things natural and conversational. Local to Denton and serving the wider GB market, I bring the same attention to detail whether I’m photographing an individual executive or a small business team. My work is about storytelling — showing competence, warmth and authenticity in one frame. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to preserve tone and personality, delivering high-quality files you can use across social, professional and marketing channels. I’m passionate about portraiture because it connects people and purpose. If you want headshots or portraits that feel honest, modern and distinctly you, let’s talk. Drop me a message and we’ll plan a session that fits your schedule and ambitions — I’ll reply within 24 hours and help you get the images that tell your story.
