Ben Hesketh Photography

Ben Hesketh is a Fylde-based portrait specialist whose work is rooted in a passion for informal, authentic imagery. As a father of three, Ben understands that the most treasured photographs are the ones that capture real moments — the laughs, the tiny imperfections, the connections. That belief shapes every portrait session he creates: no stiff poses, no ‘say cheese’ theatrics, just relaxed, human-centred photography that reflects who you really are. Working from a flexible portrait studio in the Fylde and on location across the region, Ben tailors each shoot to your personality and needs. Whether you want professional headshots for LinkedIn, a polished business portrait for your website, or family portraits that celebrate everyday life and shared passions, his approach is consistent: put people at ease, choose settings that matter to you, and photograph moments rather than poses. Pets, hobbies and familiar places are all warmly welcomed because they help tell your story. Ben’s style blends creative composition with a documentary sensibility. He aims to blend into the background during shoots so he can capture natural interaction and genuine expressions, then brings a considered, individual edit to each image that enhances mood without over-processing. His sessions are conversational and relaxed — he’ll guide a few simple directions, but mostly he looks to create situations where authentic moments can happen. Clients appreciate Ben’s straightforward, friendly manner and the collaborative way he plans shoots. Before a session he’ll discuss locations, wardrobe suggestions and the kinds of images you want to use — from casual family wall art to crisp, professional headshots for business profiles. For commercial clients seeking business portraits, Ben provides approachable, professional imagery that works well across websites, social media and company literature while remaining rooted in his portrait expertise. If you’re looking for portrait photography in Fylde that feels personal, professional and unfussy, Ben Hesketh Photography offers a reassuringly human experience. From the first chat to the final images, the aim is simple: create portraits you’ll actually want to live with and share — pictures that look and feel like you.
