Thomas Norris Photographic and Video

Thomas Norris is a Falmouth-based portrait specialist whose practice revolves around people and their stories. At his portrait studio he combines a documentary/editorial sensibility with a clean, minimalist approach to composition—an approach shaped by years shooting film, printmaking in the darkroom and working on press assignments. The result is professional portraits and headshots that feel honest, considered and quietly distinctive. Why choose Thomas for your portrait or professional headshot? His work is rooted in documentary portraiture and editorial thinking, which means every session starts with understanding who you are and how you want to be seen. Whether you need a contemporary headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait for press use, or a personal studio portrait, Thomas focuses on authenticity over artifice. His images have been shown in galleries such as Autograph and Photofusion and published locally, reflecting a professional standard that serves both individual and commercial clients. How he works: sessions are collaborative and relaxed. Thomas begins with a short conversation to establish mood, wardrobe and desired usage, then creates an atmosphere that helps subjects feel at ease—crucial for capturing natural expressions. In the studio he employs careful lighting, considered framing and a restrained kit, favouring quality over excess. He also brings his film experience into studio shoots when appropriate, offering a film-aware aesthetic alongside contemporary digital workflows. What to expect from your final images: clean, editorial-style portraits and professional headshots that translate well across web, social and print. Files are edited with attention to tone and consistency, and Thomas can advise on crops and styles suitable for business profiles, press features or personal portfolios. While portraiture is his primary focus, Thomas also practices documentary photography—bringing the same narrative sensitivity to longer projects and editorial commissions. If you value portraits that tell a story and present a composed, authentic image of you or your organisation, Thomas Norris’ Falmouth studio offers a specialist, people-centred approach to professional portrait photography.
