West 70 Photography

West 70 Photography is a portrait specialist serving Kingswood and the wider Bristol area. Focused on studio portraiture and business headshots, we build our work around one simple idea: when people feel at ease the best photographs happen. Founded by Marcus and Adam, our Downend studio combines a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with professional craft so every client—from families and couples to professionals updating their LinkedIn—leaves with images they genuinely like. What makes our portrait approach different is how we balance simplicity with creativity. We favour a clean, modern studio look (our infinity cove white backdrop is a staple) that produces timeless, contemporary portraits. For clients seeking something more dramatic we offer premium headshot sessions that use a black backdrop and advanced lighting to create bold, atmospheric images. Across all sessions our aim is natural, unforced expressions rather than stiff posing—real smiles and confident presence that work beautifully for personal portraits and business use alike. We understand the practical concerns that come with being in front of the camera. Our team works with a calm, conversational style to relax camera-shy clients and guide everyone through straightforward, flattering poses. Appointments take place in our welcoming Downend studio which includes a private changing area and a comfortable viewing space—ideal for families, small groups and professionals. We’re dog-friendly too, so well-behaved pets can be part of your portrait session if you’d like. For business clients we deliver professional headshots that reflect personality and credibility. Whether you need a crisp, approachable LinkedIn photo, consistent team headshots photographed on location, or a bespoke studio session with more creative lighting, we tailor the experience to your goals and brand. Copyright permission is handled simply so you can use images across websites, social media and printed materials without hassle. Above all, West 70 Photography prides itself on being honest, unpretentious and client-focused. We don’t do high‑pressure sales—our priority is a relaxed session and photos you’ll want to keep. If you’re in Kingswood and looking for a portrait studio that blends technical skill with a friendly, no‑fuss approach, we’d love to meet you and discuss the portrait you want to create.
