Ante Up Photography - Manchester

At Ante Up Photography I specialise in studio portraiture that puts people at ease and captures the authentic, professional version of you. Based in Droylsden and serving the Manchester area, my portrait work is built around a simple aim: create timeless, flattering images that communicate confidence and character — whether for personal use, corporate profiles or LinkedIn. My approach is intentionally straightforward and client-focused. Before the session we have a short consultation to understand how you’ll use the images, your preferred style and any wardrobe or branding requirements. In the studio I use controlled lighting and a relaxed direction style so even camera‑shy clients look natural. I guide poses, expressions and subtle body language to build flattering frames while keeping the atmosphere calm and professional. I specialise in professional headshots and business portraits tailored for online profiles, corporate websites and marketing materials. The sessions are efficient and tailored — you’ll receive clear guidance on how to prepare, what to wear and how to get the most from a short studio time. Careful lighting, composition and unobtrusive retouching ensure final files are polished but honest: images that look like you, only at your best. Beyond individual headshots, I work with clients to produce consistent portrait sets for small teams and solo professionals who need a coherent visual identity. My studio sessions prioritise speed and quality — quick turnaround of files, organised delivery, and image files optimised for the formats you need, from social media profiles to corporate print. Choosing Ante Up Photography means choosing a portrait specialist who values clarity, calm and authenticity. I bring an experienced eye to every shoot and a practical, friendly manner that makes studio time productive and comfortable. If you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a professional headshot for your CV, or corporate portraits that reflect your brand, my Droylsden studio is set up to deliver reliable, high-quality results.
