Gareth Bevan is a Highbury-based portrait specialist whose work centres on capturing the genuine character behind every face. With portrait photography as his primary focus, Gareth builds sessions around people — professionals, creatives and anyone who wants a confident, natural image that speaks for them. He offers studio and on-location portraits designed for business use, LinkedIn profiles, company websites and personal branding, always prioritising authenticity over artifice. Gareth’s approach is calm and conversational. He favours simple, flattering lighting and careful composition to highlight expression and presence rather than relying on gimmicks. Whether creating a tight professional headshot or a more relaxed three-quarter portrait, his aim is to bring out a sitter’s personality with subtle direction and a steady, unobtrusive manner. The result is images that feel lived-in and honest — useful for corporate needs and warm enough for personal projects. Working with Gareth is collaborative and straightforward. Each session starts with a short consultation to establish the look and purpose of the portrait, followed by clear guidance on wardrobe and posture where needed. In the studio he cultivates a relaxed atmosphere so even camera-shy clients find it easy to settle in; on location he adapts lighting and framing to suit the environment and the story you want to tell. Post-shoot, Gareth applies careful editing to ensure skin tones and tones are true to life while retaining the natural character of the shot.
