Leo Wilkinson Photography

I specialise in portrait and business headshot photography from my base in Esher, serving Surrey, London and the South East. With more than 25 years working professionally, a degree in Photo Science (Westminster University) and PR training through the PRCA, I bring a rare combination of technical craft and communications insight to every portrait commission. My approach is simple: get to know the person in front of the camera, create a relaxed atmosphere and make images that feel authentic. Photographing people is as much about the situation, the environment and the interaction with the photographer as it is about camera settings. That belief guides how I work — whether you need a LinkedIn-ready headshot, an executive portrait for a corporate profile, or a natural, characterful portrait for editorial or PR use. Clients choose me because I balance professionalism with a personal touch. I’m comfortable directing a posed corporate portrait, and equally adept at coaxing candid, in-the-moment expressions. My PR experience means I understand how images are used across communications channels and how to produce shots that meet editorial, publicity and online needs. The process is straightforward and client-focused. We’ll discuss your brief in advance so I can tailor the shoot to your needs — location, background, wardrobe and the tone you want to convey. On the day I aim to keep things calm and efficient so you can relax and perform naturally. After the shoot I deliver edited, optimised images via a secure online facility; most commissions include rights-free use so your team can publish and share without fuss. I’ve photographed a wide range of people — from company teams and executives to performers and sports personalities — and I pride myself on producing flattering, honest pictures that tell a story about the subject. No hard sell, just photography done well: considered, creative and reliable. If you’re looking for portrait or business headshot photography in Esher or the surrounding area, I’d be glad to discuss how we can create images that represent you and your brand with confidence and clarity.
