Dammo Photography

David Clarke — known professionally as Dammo — is a portrait specialist based in Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire. With a background in commercial and lifestyle photography, David focuses his energy on creating professional portraits and headshots that feel honest, polished and full of character. His work is built around the belief that a great portrait should reveal personality as much as it presents a polished image. Why choose Dammo for your portrait or business headshot? David’s strength is his personalised, low‑stress approach. He comes to you — whether that’s your office, a chosen on‑location setting or a studio-style space he creates on site — so you can be photographed in an environment that feels natural. This on-location flexibility makes team shoots and corporate headshots simple and efficient, and it helps individuals relax into authentic expressions that read well online and in print. What makes his approach special is a mix of technical skill and quiet direction. David combines clean lighting and tasteful composition with conversational guidance that puts subjects at ease. The result is a set of images that work across platforms: LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, press materials and personal branding. His emphasis is always on capturing the essence of a person — the small details and confident moments that communicate trust and approachability. How he works: every project starts with a no‑obligation chat to understand objectives, audience and desired tone. David tailors the session to your needs — from quick, punchy corporate headshots for teams to more considered individual portraits for executives and creatives. On the day he creates a calm, professional atmosphere, offering light direction, wardrobe tips and quick previews so you can see results in real time. David’s photographic eye is informed by years documenting personalities and subcultures, and by projects such as his long-term documentation of the Brighton Mod Weekender featured in his book, "Through My Eyes." That storytelling instinct feeds into every portrait session, ensuring images that are not only technically strong but also visually meaningful. If you’re in Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire or across the UK and need professional portraits or business headshots that truly represent you or your team, Dammo provides expert, personable service and images with real presence.
