Neilson Reeves Photography

Neilson Reeves Photography is a portrait specialist based in Failsworth, GB, known for creating professional, honest and highly useable portraits — from corporate headshots and LinkedIn imagery to character-driven actor headshots and business portraits. With a clear focus on portraiture as the core of the practice, Neilson Reeves brings decades of commercial experience to every session, balancing technical craft with a warm, down-to-earth approach that helps people look like the best version of themselves. Why choose Neilson Reeves for portrait and headshot photography? The studio’s strength is specialisation: portraits are the business. Whether you need a clean, modern business portrait for a company website, a natural-light outdoor headshot, or a little more theatrical work for press and publicity, Neilson Reeves applies the same attention to light, expression and storytelling. The photographer’s work is frequently used by actors, entrepreneurs and teams who want images that are approachable, accurate and ready-to-use for casting, PR or professional profiles. What makes the approach special is the blend of atmosphere and craft. Sessions are relaxed and conversational — Neilson (Colin) guides clients with friendly direction, helping even camera-shy people find the right expressions and posture. In-studio lighting and simple infinity backgrounds sit alongside Heading Out natural-light sessions, giving flexibility to capture different looks without losing authenticity. For actor shoots the studio can accommodate hair and make-up partners when required, so images are polished and casting-ready. How the studio works with clients: each portrait session is treated as a collaboration. Before the shoot you’ll discuss the brief — the roles you want to target, the tone your company needs, or the platforms the images must serve. On the day, the emphasis is on making you comfortable quickly so the camera records genuine, confident moments. Neilson Reeves delivers professional retouching and image files that are optimised for web, print and editorial use, ensuring your portraits are versatile across LinkedIn, company bios and press packs. While portrait and business photography is the primary focus, the studio also has experience supporting commercial and advertising briefs as required. If you’re in Failsworth or the wider Manchester region and need a portrait specialist who combines technical expertise, a friendly studio environment and a clear understanding of commercial needs, Neilson Reeves Photography provides an expert, client-centred service that puts your image to work.
