Will's Photoimaging

I specialise in portrait photography from my studio near Kidsgrove, bringing a calm, professional approach that helps people relax and look their best. Portraits for me are about creating images that genuinely reflect who you are—timeless, distinctive and made to stand the test of time. Whether you need a confident business headshot for LinkedIn, an actor’s publicity portrait, or a personal studio session, I position myself as a specialist in portrait work and treat each session with care and a clear creative purpose. My style combines classic lighting techniques with contemporary sensibilities. For those who want a vintage, cinematic look I use Fresnel-style continuous lighting that produces the sort of tonal transitions you see in classic Hollywood portraits. I also use modern flash lighting and a variety of backgrounds—white, black, grey and mottled colour options—so each portrait suits your intent and personality. If continuous lighting is a better fit for you (for example, if you prefer no flashes), I offer that choice as part of the session. The shoot experience is practical and client-focused. I work tethered to a computer so you can see images as they are made and we can make adjustments to pose, clothing and lighting in real time. There’s a dedicated preparation room in the studio and off-road parking for your convenience. For corporate teams I can come to your workplace with a consistent, quick workflow that minimises disruption while delivering professional, on-brand headshots. I aim to build a relaxed, collaborative relationship with each client: a short pre-shoot conversation to understand your goals, on-session guidance for posing and expression, and careful post-processing that enhances the image without losing its natural character. I provide files and print options, and can advise on presentation—whether for a website, social profile or wall display. Professional standards matter: my equipment is PAT tested, I carry appropriate public liability insurance and I maintain backup kit so your session won’t be interrupted by equipment failure. I’m DBS Enhanced checked and experienced working with a wide range of clients.
