Dock Street Studio - Leeds

Dock Street Studio - Leeds is focused on one thing above all: creating portraits that truly represent who you are. Led by Mark Wheelwright, a commercial photographer with years of experience in headshots and professional portraiture, the studio has built a reputation for clean, compelling images that work across casting, corporate profiles and professional portfolios. Why choose Dock Street Studio? Because we specialise. Portraiture and business headshots are our core expertise — not an add-on. We use the highest quality cameras, lenses and lighting to produce images that are crisp, flattering and built with purpose. Whether you need an actor’s creative headshot, a LinkedIn-ready business portrait or a set of professional portraits for your website, Mark approaches each session with the same attention to composition, tone and storytelling. What makes our approach special is how technical craft meets human connection. The studio is a spacious, bright and airy creative space in central Leeds designed to put you at ease. Mark’s working style is calm and conversational: he guides your poses, explores different looks, and encourages small adjustments that unlock natural expression. We prioritise collaboration — you’re part of the process from the consultation to the final selects — so the finished images feel authentic and fit the brief. How we work: sessions begin with a short consultation where we define the mood, wardrobe and usage (casting, corporate profile, social media). On the day, the studio environment is relaxed and unhurried; we take time to find angles and lighting that flatter your features and convey the right personality. After the shoot, images are carefully edited to enhance tone and clarity while maintaining a natural look. Dock Street Studio also offers flexible studio hire for photographers and creatives who want to use our space and kit. Based in central Leeds, we’re easy to reach and happy to discuss bespoke needs or multiple-person bookings. Above all, we’re driven by a simple belief: a great portrait opens doors. If you want professional, characterful images from a studio that specialises in portrait and business headshots, Dock Street Studio - Leeds is ready to help you make that first impression count.
