Barkers Photos

Barkers Photos has been a trusted name on the east coast since 1914 — but our portrait work is firmly rooted in a modern, personal approach. As specialists in portrait photography based in Great Yarmouth, we focus on capturing the face, expression and presence that tell your story. Whether you want a striking studio portrait, a LinkedIn-ready business headshot or a creative, editorial-style image, our portrait studio delivers professional, characterful results. What sets us apart is experience and craft. Our award-winning head photographer, Victor Ling, brings decades of studio skill to every session: considered lighting, careful composition and a patient, conversational approach that relaxes subjects and uncovers natural expressions. We believe great portraits are created in partnership — not posed into life — so we spend time understanding what you want to communicate and tailor each shoot to those aims. The studio experience is designed to be comfortable and efficient. Sessions are by appointment in our large, purpose-built studio; you’ll be welcomed, offered a complimentary drink, then invited to a brief chat so we can set the mood, choose backgrounds and plan outfits or props. A private changing area and a full range of lighting options let us create looks from clean corporate headshots to more creative portraits. If you prefer, we also offer our specialist Profile Pic Service for sharp, on-brand images optimised for social and professional platforms. Deliverables are flexible to suit your needs: finished images can be supplied as professionally printed portraits, long-lasting canvas wraps, or high-resolution digital files ready for web and print. We take care with retouching so that the final image looks polished while still feeling authentic. Based in Great Yarmouth and serving East Anglia, Barkers Photos blends century-old high-street values — friendly service and real people you can talk to — with contemporary portrait expertise. If you want a portrait that looks professional, feels genuine and represents you well, book a studio appointment and let us create images you’ll be proud to use.
