Chris Mann Photography

Chris Mann is a specialist portrait photographer based in Guildford, Surrey, focused on professional headshots and business portraits that help people make a confident first impression. With two decades behind the camera and a calm, problem-solving approach, Chris brings a portable studio to your workplace or chosen location so you get studio-quality images with minimal downtime. Why choose Chris Mann for your portrait? Clients consistently comment on his relaxed and friendly manner: he guides people into flattering poses, helps nervous subjects feel at ease and shoots a selection of looks so you can choose the image that best represents you. His portraits are crafted to work across print, websites and social media — whether you need a square LinkedIn profile, a clean head-and-shoulders shot for a company page, or an environmental portrait that places you in your working context. What makes his approach special is the blend of technical control and natural direction. Chris uses a compact, battery-powered lighting kit and plain backgrounds for consistent, easily editable headshots, but also creates environmental portraits when a location or workspace adds useful context. For teams, he delivers a consistent visual style across every individual so your corporate profiles and marketing materials look cohesive. How the session works: Chris sets up at your premises (meeting room or a clear space is usually sufficient) and typically spends only a short time with each person—often ten minutes per headshot—minimising disruption to the working day. He captures a range of expressions and lighting styles, then selects and refines the best images. Final files are delivered promptly via secure online gallery or WeTransfer, ready for web, print or social use. Driven by an interest in visual storytelling and practical business experience, Chris enjoys helping organisations build a professional photo library they can rely on. If you want flattering, dependable portraits from a Guildford-based photographer who specialises in business headshots and portrait studio work, Chris Mann offers a straightforward, professional service tailored to your needs.
