Specialist portrait photography in Horwich. I make headshots quick, comfortable and confident. Guided 30-minute sessions where you choose images on the day for authentic portraits.
Built for Business. Ready for the Spotlight. Made to Connect. I’m John Bentley — a Horwich-based portrait specialist who helps real people look like the professionals they are. My work is focused on portrait photography: creating honest, personality-driven images that make the right first impression. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, speaker or consultant, I aim to produce portraits that feel like you and do the job of building trust. What sets my approach apart is simplicity and guidance. My sessions are quick and direct because you don’t need a marathon to get a portrait that works. I guide you through relaxed, conversational posing so even if you hate being photographed, you’ll leave feeling comfortable. My process — agree a time, be seen as you, choose your images — keeps things straightforward: we book a focused time, I help you be natural in front of the camera, and you pick the images you love on the day. I care about expression, not perfection. The aim is to capture the small, human details — a look that says “approachable”, an expression that reads “competent”. Those are the things that generate clicks, enquiries and conversations online. I avoid stiff, over-posed shots and over-edited images; my portraits are professional, authentic and ready to use across LinkedIn, websites and marketing materials. Flexibility is part of the offer. While I work from my Horwich base, I also run expertly guided remote sessions for anyone who needs a professional portrait without coming to the studio. Remote sessions are practical, inclusive and still benefit from my hands-on direction — you’ll be surprised how strong a portrait can be when guided by an experienced eye, even via your phone. Choosing me means choosing a portrait photographer who values honesty, speed and clear results. I cut the nonsense, coach you through the shoot, and help you pick images that represent your brand honestly. If you want portrait photography in Horwich that’s fast, friendly and built to work, let’s make an image that does the talking for you.
