Portrait specialist in Lancaster. I offer relaxed studio and on-location headshot sessions, creating polished business portraits and LinkedIn photos with quick digital delivery. Serving Lancaster & Morecambe.
I’m Philip Lord of PJL Photography — a Lancaster-based portrait specialist focused on creating professional, natural images that help people make the right first impression. My approach centres on relaxed, friendly sessions that remove the awkwardness of being in front of a camera. Whether you need a crisp LinkedIn headshot or a polished business portrait for your website, I guide you through every step so the final images feel like the real you. What sets my portrait work apart is the combination of a calm studio environment and the flexibility to shoot on location around Lancaster and Morecambe. I value authentic expressions over forced poses: through gentle direction and a conversational style I help clients relax, find flattering angles, and convey the confidence their professional profile needs. The result is straightforward, modern portraits that suit corporate profiles, small business owners, freelancers, and professionals across Lancashire. My process is simple and client-focused. We start with a short pre-shoot conversation to cover the look you want, wardrobe tips, and whether you’d prefer studio lighting or an on-location backdrop. On the day I’ll coach you through poses and expressions so the session feels easy and productive. After the shoot I deliver professionally edited images with a fast turnaround, optimised for both web and print use. Retouching is tasteful and purposeful—enhancing portraits while keeping them natural. I believe great professional portraits are about more than technical skill; they’re about atmosphere and trust. I work to create a calm, encouraging space where even camera-shy clients leave feeling pleased with their images. Local knowledge of Lancaster and Morecambe helps me choose flattering locations and backdrops when we shoot outdoors. If you’re looking for a dedicated portrait photographer who prioritises authenticity, clarity, and a stress-free experience, PJL Photography is here to help.
