Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a set of business portraits for your team, or creative personal portraits, Pete’s work focuses on real expression and purposeful imagery that reflects who you are and what your brand stands for. Why choose Pete? His practice is built on clarity of story and calm, confident direction. With a background shooting weddings, commercial campaigns and outdoor lifestyle projects across the Peak District and beyond, Pete knows how to find natural moments and shape them into strong, usable images. That experience translates into portrait sessions where people feel at ease and look like themselves—relaxed, professional and ready for public-facing platforms. How he works: sessions begin with a simple conversation to understand your goals—whether you’re updating a professional profile, refreshing brand visuals, or commissioning a creative portrait. Sessions are flexible: choose studio-controlled lighting for a polished corporate look, or on-location shots in the Peak District for a more relaxed, atmospheric feel. Every image is hand-edited and delivered via a private online gallery for easy review and sharing. A distinct advantage Pete offers is his love of analogue craft. Film photography is available as an option for clients who want the warmth, grain and timeless quality only film can provide. Pete develops and scans film in his own darkroom, bringing a handcrafted layer of care to selected portrait commissions. For businesses, Pete creates consistent headshots and team imagery designed to work across websites, reports and social media. For individuals, he focuses on personality-led portraits that help you stand out—clear lighting, thoughtful posing and unobtrusive direction to capture authentic expressions. Based in the High Peak and regularly working across the Peak District, Manchester, Sheffield and Yorkshire, Pete Crossland Photography & Videography brings professional portraiture with a storyteller’s eye.
