Alex Dodd Photography

I’m Alex — a photographer based on the edge of Leeds (Kippax) with a background in journalism, photo editing and more than a decade in the camera bag. While my primary work sits in sport, business and architecture photography, I also photograph professional portraits and headshots for individuals and teams across West Yorkshire and beyond. What sets my portrait work apart is the experience I bring from photographing people in high-pressure, fast-moving environments. Years covering sport and working with businesses has taught me to spot genuine expressions, find flattering light quickly and make people feel at ease. That translates into portraits that look natural and confident rather than stiff or overly posed — perfect for LinkedIn, company websites and press materials. My approach is straightforward and relaxed. I start with a short conversation about what you need — the tone of the portrait, where it will be used and any brand considerations — then we plan a session to suit you. I work on location at your workplace or at nearby spots that suit the brief, using lighting and direction to bring out personality and professionalism. For team and staff shoots I aim to keep sessions efficient and friendly so everyone gets consistent, usable images with minimal disruption to the working day. Clients choose me because I combine technical know-how with a practical, no-nonsense style. My background as a photo editor taught me how images are used in the real world, and my business photography experience means I understand brand voice and how a portrait needs to perform across digital and print. I enjoy helping camera-shy clients feel comfortable and guiding people into authentic poses that still look professional. If you’re looking for dependable, well-crafted portraits in Kippax or anywhere in West Yorkshire, get in touch and we’ll discuss the brief. Whether you need a single headshot or a set of team portraits, I’ll work to create images that represent you and your business with clarity and confidence.
