Up North Photography

Up North Photography is a Dewsbury-based portrait specialist dedicated to making every session feel natural, calm and genuinely personal. As a photographer focused on portrait work, we aim to capture the real you—whether that means a confident professional headshot for LinkedIn, a warm family portrait, or a thoughtful personal portrait that reflects your character. Our studio approach combines technical skill with a relaxed atmosphere so clients leave with images that look like them, not like a posed photo shoot. Why choose Up North Photography? We prioritise connection. Rather than forcing poses, we use simple, conversational techniques to help subjects relax and be themselves. Lighting, composition and subtle direction all support the moment—never overpower it. That balance gives us clean, contemporary portraits with natural expressions and flattering tones that work across professional profiles, personal portfolios and printed keepsakes. How we work: sessions are straightforward and client-focused. Before your visit we discuss your goals (professional headshot, LinkedIn photo, a gift portrait), preferred look and any wardrobe or styling notes. In the studio we guide you through posture and expression with friendly, practical direction so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. After the shoot we carefully edit your images to enhance colour and clarity while preserving natural skin tones and authentic expression. Local, personal service: based in Dewsbury, Up North Photography understands the practical needs of local professionals and families. We offer flexible studio sessions designed to fit busy schedules and to deliver polished, usable images quickly and reliably. Our portfolio emphasises honest, unforced portraits that stand out for their warmth and professionalism. Pet and animal portraiture: alongside studio portrait work we also have experience creating portraits with animals, producing calm, characterful images that celebrate the human–animal bond. If you’d like a studio portrait that includes a well-behaved pet, we’ll plan the session to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone. Up North Photography combines technical expertise, a gentle working style and a local, client-first approach. If you want a Dewsbury portrait studio that produces authentic, professional images with a relaxed atmosphere, get in touch to discuss your session.
