Richard Weaver Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my Hereford studio and on location across the UK. My work focuses on creating professional portraits and business headshots that feel honest, relaxed and true to the person in front of the camera. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn photo, a branding portrait for your website or a family portrait that captures personality, I bring over a decade of experience to every session. My approach is rooted in lighting, composition and conversation. I aim to create an atmosphere where subjects forget the camera and allow natural expressions to surface. That tranquillity shows in images that are subtle, characterful and immediately useful for business or personal use. I use both studio setups and natural-location shoots depending on the brief — tailoring backgrounds, tones and poses to suit the intended use, from corporate profiles to creative portraiture. How I work: we start with a short conversation to understand your objectives — who will see the images and how they will be used. On the day I guide you through simple, effective poses and make technical choices so you can relax while we capture decisive moments. Post-session I apply considered retouching to ensure a polished but genuine final image, suitable for print, web or social use. Photography is as much about listening as it is about light. My practice is informed by work across editorial, commercial and advertising projects, and that experience helps me produce portraits that support your brand or personal story. I believe, as I often say, you don’t make a photograph just with a camera — you bring to it everything you have seen and felt — and I aim to honour that in every portrait I make. If you want professional headshots, LinkedIn portraits or studio family images from a photographer based in Hereford, I’d be pleased to help. Get in touch for a friendly consultation and we’ll plan a session that delivers images you’ll be proud to use.
