Gateshead-based portrait specialist creating natural, confident headshots and professional portraits for businesses. Friendly, relaxed studio sessions with fast turnaround and a satisfaction guarantee.
I’m Alan — a Gateshead-based portrait photographer who helps professionals and businesses show up with confidence online. My focus is on creating authentic, professional portraits and headshots that reflect who you are and what your brand stands for. I believe great portrait photography is about more than a flattering picture: it’s the visual first impression that builds trust and connects you with the people who matter. What sets my approach apart is a blend of warmth, preparation and efficiency. I keep sessions relaxed and conversational so even people who “don’t like having their photo taken” leave enjoying the experience — clients often comment on my humour and easy demeanour. I work to understand your brand, tone and audience before we meet, then guide you through posing and styling so the results feel natural, not staged. The aim is expressive, usable images for LinkedIn, company websites, press and social media that strengthen your reputation. I shoot in a simple, professional studio set-up in Gateshead or on location when that suits your business. Lighting and composition are tailored to the look you want — from crisp corporate headshots to warmer, personality-led portraits — always optimised for online use. My editing is careful and considered: full professional retouching that preserves character while ensuring you look your best across every platform. Working with me is straightforward. We start with a friendly consultation to visualise the shoot and agree the brief. On the day I keep things moving, relaxed and productive so your team can get back to work quickly. I’m committed to fast turnaround and clear, licence-ready files so you can update your profiles and marketing without delay. Most importantly, I stand by a satisfaction-led approach: I want you to feel proud of the images you use to represent your brand. If you’re after professional headshots or portrait studio sessions in Gateshead that get your business noticed, let’s talk. I enjoy helping people tell their story through portraiture and I’d love to help you put your best face forward.
