Specialist portrait photographer in Gloucester, I create relaxed, authentic studio and on-location portraits. My work suits personal portraits, model portfolios and professional headshots.
I’m Chris Attwood, the photographer behind Think Photography, and portrait photography is my primary focus. Based in a small studio close to Gloucester Quays, I’ve spent over six years helping people feel confident in front of the camera and creating images that reflect who they really are. Whether you want a classic portrait, a modern model portfolio or a professional headshot for LinkedIn, my aim is the same: authentic, flattering photographs that work for you. Why choose me for portrait work in Gloucester? I take a direct, personal approach. I listen first — to your goals, the image you want to project, and any practical needs for the shoot — then I tailor the session around that. My style favours relaxed, natural expressions rather than stiff poses, so I focus on putting people at ease with simple direction and a conversational atmosphere. This helps draw out genuine moments that translate into strong, usable portraits. My portrait sessions are flexible: many clients prefer the control of the studio environment, while others enjoy the character of on-location shoots around Gloucester. Either way, I use lighting and composition to highlight personality and keep the final images clean and professional. Post-shoot, I provide considered retouching and post-production to ensure each image looks its best without losing its natural feel — a balance I believe is essential for modern portraits. While portrait photography is my speciality, I also photograph professional headshots and business portraits when clients need a consistent, polished look for staff profiles or company profiles. I can deliver individual headshots or work with teams to create a cohesive set of images that reflect your brand’s tone. Working with me is straightforward: we start with a brief conversation, plan the session, and I guide you through styling and poses on the day. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable and efficient, leaving you with images that you’re proud to use personally and professionally. If you’re in Gloucester or the surrounding area and want a portrait that genuinely represents you, get in touch and let’s make some great images together.
