If you want portrait photography that looks professional without feeling stiff, Steve Ringham is the photographer to call in Egham, Surrey. Portraits are Steve’s core expertise: he specialises in headshots, professional portraits and studio-style images that help people present their best selves—online, on LinkedIn, in company materials or simply on the wall at home. Steve’s style is straightforward and human. He brings a background in medical photography and decades of life experience—working in IT, practising hypnotherapy, playing music and making art—so he knows how to combine technical skill with calm people skills. That means he’ll help you relax, find flattering light and a natural pose, and capture the moment where you look like you, only better. He’s chilled and unfussy, and he prefers to let the photographs do the talking. Working with Steve is collaborative. “Tell me and I listen” is how he describes his process: he’ll hear what you want your portrait to say, offer practical suggestions on pose and setting, and adjust his direction if you’re out of your comfort zone. He pays attention to the small details—lighting, expression, posture—so the finished images feel considered rather than manufactured. Steve also values punctual delivery: you’ll get clean, usable files when you need them. While portrait work is the primary focus, Steve also creates business portraits and branding images for clients who want professional photography for their profiles and social channels. These business portraits are offered with the same attentive, no-nonsense approach, but the heart of his work remains creating authentic, personal portraits that tell a story about the person in front of the camera. Based in Egham, Steve serves clients across the local area and beyond. If you’re camera-shy, preparing for a LinkedIn refresh, or simply want a portrait that represents you honestly and professionally, he’ll make the session relaxed and productive. Get in touch, share your ideas, and let’s see if we can make a little magic happen with a portrait that genuinely reflects you.
