Jim King Photography

I’m Jim King, a freelance professional photographer based in Upwood Village, between Huntingdon and Peterborough in Cambridgeshire. My roots in advertising photography — three years of training in the 1970s and work in several London studios — shape everything I do now. As a portrait specialist I aim to capture images that reflect the real person in front of the camera: relaxed, honest and suited to how you want to be seen. Why choose me for your portrait? I bring a lifetime’s experience in lighting, composition and visual storytelling, balanced with a friendly, low-pressure manner. My priority is to discuss what the portrait means to you, advise where helpful, and remain flexible to your needs and budget. Whether you want a formal professional headshot, a warm family portrait, or a characterful environmental portrait, my work focuses on creating images you’ll value for years. How I work: I keep the process simple and collaborative. We begin with a short conversation about the look and purpose of the portrait — business profile, LinkedIn headshot, personal portrait or a gift — and I tailor the session accordingly. Sessions can be held in my portrait studio or at a location of your choosing, including the comfort of your own home. I aim to put people at ease through a conversational style and gentle direction, capturing natural expressions rather than stiff poses. Although my main focus is portrait photography, I can also provide business portraits and headshots for professionals who require a polished image for corporate profiles or online presence. I take care of lighting, background and retouching to ensure the final images present you at your best while retaining authenticity. If you’re looking for a Huntingdon-based portrait photographer with an advertising-trained eye and a personal, flexible approach, get in touch. I’m happy to discuss your ideas and provide a tailored session to achieve the professional, timeless portraits you want.
