Derby-based portrait specialist creating creative, professional portraits and headshots. Adam John offers relaxed, guided studio sessions to capture authentic, flattering images.
Adam John Photography is a Derby-based portrait specialist whose focus is simple: beautiful, honest portraits that make you feel seen. Working from a small, independent studio at LightBox in Derby, Adam brings a friendly, creative approach to every session — whether you’re booking a professional headshot, a personal portrait or a family shoot. Why choose Adam John? He positions himself as a portrait expert. Rather than generic snapshots, Adam creates considered images that reflect personality and purpose. His strength is guiding people — from camera-shy clients to confident subjects — through a relaxed, fully guided session that uses flattering light, thoughtful posing and tasteful styling to produce images you’ll want to use and display. How he works: every portrait begins with a short consultation so Adam understands how you want to be presented. In the studio he builds an easy atmosphere, combining clear direction with space for natural moments. For business portraits and headshots he focuses on clean, professional looks suitable for LinkedIn, company websites and press use; for personal and family portraits he balances direction with playful prompts to capture genuine connections. The result is a set of images that feel both authentic and polished. Adam’s portrait work also includes portraits of dogs and maternity and occasional fashion work, reflecting the studio’s broader creative range. Projects such as the “40 Over 40” portrait experience show his commitment to portraiture that celebrates real people and restores confidence through thoughtful styling, a makeover element and a private image reveal. If you want a portrait experience that’s calm, creative and tailored to you, Adam John Photography offers a professional studio environment in Derby and a collaborative process that puts your story first. Whether you need a striking headshot for your business profile or a meaningful family portrait to cherish, Adam’s specialist approach ensures images that look professional and feel personal.
