Mike Lester Photography is a portrait specialist based in Kippax, offering focused expertise in studio portraits, business headshots and fashion/model portfolio work. Mike’s aim is simple: produce professional portraits that represent you honestly and powerfully — whether that’s a LinkedIn headshot, a CV portrait or a creative model portfolio. Why choose Mike Lester? Mike brings decades of experience as a professional photographer and a fully qualified trainer. His approach blends technical mastery of lighting and composition with a patient, supportive style that helps even camera-shy clients relax. Sessions take place in a fully equipped studio with colourama backdrops, a dedicated changing area and a wide range of lighting modifiers to create looks from clean corporate to creative editorial. What makes the approach special is the focus on collaboration and clarity. Before your shoot Mike will discuss the look you want, help select backgrounds and poses, and give practical guidance on wardrobe and presentation. On the day he works at a calm pace, directing confidently while encouraging natural expression — producing a portfolio of images that feel like you, only better. For business portraits and headshots the emphasis is on clean, flattering lighting and professional presentation; for model and fashion work he brings a creative eye to styling and pose. How it works: sessions include studio time, access to props and backdrops, practical coaching during the shoot and a private online gallery of your proofs. You choose the images you want edited and Mike delivers high-quality, fully edited files suitable for print, web or social use. Ongoing support and advice are also available — a reflection of Mike’s background in training and customer-focused service.
