Seamus Flanagan Photography

Seamus Flanagan is a portrait specialist based in Farnham, GB, dedicated to making professional portraits that feel honest, confident and effortless. Portraiture is at the heart of his practice — from business headshots and LinkedIn photos to actor portraits and editorial-style portraits — and his work is guided by a simple philosophy: observe, connect and capture. Why choose Seamus for your portrait? He focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere where people can be themselves. Ensuring your comfort is his top priority: sessions are treated as an open dialogue, free from pressure or expectation, so natural expression can emerge. Influenced by Jane Bown’s idea that “photographers should neither be seen nor heard,” Seamus aims to be unobtrusive, letting moments unfold so he can capture authentic detail and subtle emotion. What makes his approach special is the blend of craft and calm. He brings technical control and an eye for composition together with a warm, conversational manner that settles even those who feel camera-shy. The result is professional portraits and headshots that look natural, communicate personality, and work hard for your career or brand — whether you need a sharp business portrait for LinkedIn, a characterful actor headshot, or a considered personal portrait. How he works with clients: every photoshoot begins with a short conversation to understand your aims — the tone you want, how images will be used, and any wardrobe or styling preferences. During the session Seamus keeps direction light and intuitive, using subtle prompts and gentle guidance rather than rigid posing. Post-shoot, images are carefully selected and edited to reflect the mood and clarity you need. Although portrait photography is his primary focus, Seamus also undertakes event and architecture work, bringing the same attentive eye to those assignments.
