Phil Taylor Photography

I’m Phil Taylor, a Harrogate-based portrait specialist dedicated to creating professional portraits and business headshots that feel natural and authentic. With a focus on portraiture as my core expertise, I aim to capture the character behind every face — whether you want a confident LinkedIn headshot, a creative personal portrait or strong images for your professional profile. My approach is relaxed and straightforward. I work in a studio setting in Harrogate or on location if you prefer a lifestyle look — at your home, outdoors or at your workplace. For corporate headshots I bring a portable lighting and backdrop kit so you get clean, professional studio-quality images at your office. I believe the best portraits come from putting people at ease, so sessions are conversational and low-pressure, designed to let genuine expressions and personality shine through. Stylistically I favour natural, timeless imagery that’s adaptable for business use and personal portfolios. Whether you need a formal studio headshot with a plain backdrop or a contextual portrait that hints at your profession and brand, I tailor the session to suit the brief and the mood you want to convey. My aim is simple: deliver confident, flattering images that make a strong first impression and tell your story without fuss. Working with clients feels collaborative — we discuss your goals beforehand, choose a setting and style that fits, and I guide you through poses and expressions so the results look effortless. My background in both portrait and business photography means I understand the needs of professionals, entrepreneurs and actors alike, and I bring that experience to every shoot. I’m passionate about portrait photography because it captures moments of truth — the look, the character, the confidence. Based in Harrogate and serving the Yorkshire area, I’m ready to help you refresh your professional image or create a personal portrait you’ll be proud to use. If you’re after professional headshots or a relaxed portrait session with a focus on authenticity and strong results, I’d love to hear about your project.
