Barry Birdsall Photography

Barry Birdsall is a portrait specialist based in Egham, offering studio and location portrait photography with a clear focus on professional headshots and business portraits. Drawing on years of experience working across London and the South East, Barry’s work balances the controlled precision of the studio with the energy and texture of urban locations. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a polished corporate portrait or images for an actor or model portfolio, Barry positions portraiture at the centre of everything he does. Why choose Barry Birdsall? His strength lies in making people look and feel like themselves in front of the camera. Barry combines technical control of light and background with an intuitive sense for mood and character developed through travel and street photography. The result is professional portraits that feel natural, confident and distinctive rather than staged. Clients appreciate his calm, collaborative approach — many note the easy rapport he builds, which helps even camera-shy subjects relax and deliver authentic expressions. What makes his approach special is the mix of studio discipline and street-inspired creativity. In the studio Barry can shape light and backdrop to create classical or modern looks; on location he uses architectural lines, textured walls and urban colour to add context and personality to portraits. Typical studio sessions may cover multiple outfit changes and subtle prop use to refine the mood; location shoots are planned to match your brief and brand identity. Actor and model portfolios are handled with the same attention to variety and storytelling, switching between studio lighting and natural light to produce a portfolio that works across casting and social platforms. How he works: every portrait begins with a short consultation to clarify the brief — the intended use, desired tone and any reference images. On the day Barry keeps the atmosphere relaxed and professional, directing gently while allowing authentic moments to emerge. After the shoot you receive a curated gallery of processed images so you can choose the files that best represent you. Based near Windsor and operating around Egham and the South East, Barry focuses on portraits and business headshots as his core offering. If you want professional, characterful portraits that communicate confidence and personality, Barry Birdsall’s portrait photography brings that expertise to every session.
