W.W.Winter Ltd.

W.W.Winter Ltd. is positioned as Derby’s specialist portrait studio, combining a unique heritage with a focused devotion to portraiture. As the longest running photographic business in Britain, Winter’s brings generational experience to every session — crafting portraits that feel both timeless and genuinely individual. Our emphasis is clear: professional, considered portraiture delivered from a large, flexible studio environment. Why choose W.W.Winter for portraits? We specialise in studio portraiture and professional headshots, tailoring each session to your needs. Whether you want a classic, formal portrait, a relaxed personal image, or a business headshot for LinkedIn and corporate profiles, our team shapes light, background and pose to produce images that reflect personality and purpose. The studio’s scale and range of backgrounds and props allow us to accommodate single sittings, group portraiture and those with particular styling requests while keeping the session calm and confident. Our approach is rooted in making people comfortable. We work conversationally, guiding subjects through pose and expression to capture natural moments rather than forced smiles. That relaxed atmosphere — combined with technical care — helps even camera‑shy clients enjoy the process and leave with portraits they’re proud to display. Every portrait benefits from in‑house finishing. Our digital artists handle subtle retouching and image preparation, ensuring professional headshots meet business standards and fine art portraits retain a timeless quality. Finished images can be produced as prints and framed in‑store for those who want a ready‑to‑hang piece for home or office. This end‑to‑end service — from shoot to print and framing — keeps quality consistent and personal. Based in Derby, W.W.Winter is a family‑run studio that values trust, continuity and craftsmanship. We specialise in portraiture above all else, with the experience and facilities to deliver professional results for individuals and businesses alike. If you’re seeking a portrait studio that blends heritage, technical expertise and a warm, personalised experience, W.W.Winter Ltd. is focused on creating portraits that endure.
