Michaels Photography

I’m Michael — a Guisborough-based portrait photographer who cares about capturing the true character behind every face. At Michaels Photography I specialise in professional portraits and business headshots, helping individuals and organisations present a confident, authentic image for LinkedIn, websites, CVs and corporate profiles. My approach is personal and unhurried: I aim to put you at ease so the real you comes through in every frame. Why choose Michaels Photography for your portrait? Years of experience across studio and on-location work means I know how to create flattering light, simple directions and a calm atmosphere that removes camera nerves. Whether you want a formal business portrait, a relaxed creative headshot or a timeless personal portrait, I tailor each session to your needs — from wardrobe and background to posing and expression. How I work: sessions are flexible and focused. You can use my studio in Guisborough or we can meet at a location that suits your brand or personality. During the shoot you’ll see instant previews so we can refine poses and expressions together. After the session I carefully edit the selected images to produce natural, professional results — colour-graded and optimised for both print and digital use. Final images are delivered through a secure online gallery for easy downloading and sharing. I bring practical tools and professional standards to every shoot: a mobile studio setup when needed, expert lighting, meticulous post-production and full GDPR-compliant handling of your images. For business clients I offer headshots designed for company websites, PR and social media, and can advise on consistent looks for teams to present a cohesive brand image. Portrait photography is about more than a good picture — it’s about telling a visual story that matches who you are and what you want to say. My aim is to make the process straightforward, enjoyable and effective, so you leave with portraits that look great and feel true. If you’re in Guisborough or the surrounding area and want a professional, friendly portrait experience, I’d love to work with you.
