Andy Hornby Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my Hayling Island base, helping professionals, families and creatives look and feel their best. As a portrait specialist with nearly two decades of experience, I blend technical precision with a coaching-led approach — what I call facial sculpting — to create business portraits and headshots that convey confidence, personality and credibility. Why choose me? My clients come for more than good lighting and sharp images. They come for an experience that removes the awkwardness of being photographed. I take time to coach, relax and direct you so every expression feels genuine. Whether you need a LinkedIn-ready headshot, an executive portrait for press and PR, or a contemporary studio portrait for your portfolio, I focus on shaping light and posture to highlight the features that matter. My approach is practical and collaborative. We start with a short conversation to understand your brief and the image you want to project. Sessions can take place in-studio or on-location, using studio lights or natural light depending on the look we’re aiming for. During the shoot I guide you through simple poses and facial adjustments while showing test shots so you can see progress and feel confident. After the session I refine each image with careful retouching — preserving natural skin texture while ensuring a polished, professional finish. I work regularly with businesses and individuals across the UK, bringing the same attention to detail whether I’m photographing a single executive or a whole team. My commercial experience means I know how to deliver images that sit perfectly on websites, company profiles and social media. For family portraits and personal commissions I adopt a relaxed style that captures connection and authenticity. Photography is both craft and conversation. I’m driven by a love of telling stories through faces — the small, honest moments that reveal character. If you want a portrait that looks professional and feels like you, get in touch. I’ll listen to your goals, plan a session that suits your needs, and deliver images designed to make a lasting impression.
