As a dedicated portrait specialist based in Heswall, Craig Alexander approaches every session with a clear purpose: to create gritty yet modern and punchy images that stop people in their tracks. Portraiture is Craig’s primary focus — a craft he has refined over many years behind the lens — and his work centres on revealing the character and story behind each face. Craig blends natural light with carefully considered lighting effects to produce portraits that feel both authentic and editorial. Whether you’re after a confident professional headshot for LinkedIn, a creative studio portrait, or a personal image that evokes emotion, his style leans toward bold composition and textures that add presence and personality without feeling contrived. Why choose Craig for your portrait? He specialises in creating a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. The process begins with a brief conversation to understand your aims — professional positioning, personal branding, or simply a striking portrait — then moves to a tailored shoot where lighting, background and pose are used purposefully to tell your story. This consultative approach ensures every image serves a clear intent while still feeling natural and spontaneous. While portraiture is the core speciality, Craig also offers business portraits and professional headshots suited to corporate profiles, creative freelancers and entrepreneurs. These sessions focus on clarity, confidence and the small details that make a great business portrait: posture, expression, and subtle lighting choices that flatter and communicate trustworthiness. Based in Heswall, Craig serves clients across the local area and beyond. His work is rooted in a desire to evoke emotion and tell a story through a single frame — images that look great online, in print, and across professional platforms.
