Mono Portraits is a Gateshead-based specialist dedicated solely to portrait photography. With a clear focus on the face, expression and personality, Mono Portraits creates images that feel honest, composed and unmistakably individual. Whether you need a refined headshot for professional profiles or a characterful studio portrait, the work centres on letting the person — not the pose — do the talking. Why choose Mono Portraits? Because portraiture is the studio’s core expertise. The approach is deliberately pared back and focused: careful lighting, considered composition and patient, human-led direction. The aim is to produce portraits that look natural and confident rather than overly styled or manufactured. Clients appreciate the calm, supportive atmosphere in the studio that helps even the most camera-shy subjects relax and give their truest expressions. How the process works is straightforward and client-centred. Every session begins with a short conversation about the image you want to achieve — the mood, the context and any practical needs such as professional headshots for LinkedIn or character portraits for personal reasons. In the studio, guidance is given in a friendly, unhurried way: small adjustments to posture, subtle changes in expression and live feedback so you can see what works. Attention to lighting and tone ensures every portrait reads well on-screen and in print. Mono Portraits values clarity of vision and a collaborative relationship with clients. The photographer listens first and then directs with purpose, balancing technical control with space for spontaneous moments. The result is a refined selection of portraits that capture individuality and presence. Located in Gateshead, Mono Portraits serves local professionals, creatives and individuals who want a considered, professional portrait experience. If you’re after strong, honest images that present you at your best — whether as a personal portrait or a professional headshot — Mono Portraits offers a specialist, studio-based approach that prioritises personality, poise and a relaxed client experience.
