Image Village Limited

Image Village Studio, led by Mark & Lyndsey Nightingale, is a Leigh-based portrait specialist dedicated to creating professional portraits and business headshots that communicate confidence, personality and purpose. Rooted in the studio’s mantra “Image Is Everything” and the belief that “You don't need eyes to see, you need Vision,” we approach every portrait as a piece of strategic brand communication — whether for an individual professional, an executive team or a company profile. Why choose Image Village for your portrait needs? We focus deeply on portrait photography as our core discipline. That means technical excellence in lighting and composition, coupled with a thoughtful, human-centred approach to direction. Our portraits are crafted to suit professional contexts — LinkedIn profiles, corporate websites, press assets and team pages — where authenticity and clarity matter most. We treat each session as a collaboration, listening to the personality and objectives behind the image so the final photographs feel natural, credible and on-brand. Our approach is practical, creative and client-focused. Before the shoot we run a brief discovery conversation to understand the look you want and the contexts where images will appear. On the day, we create a relaxed studio atmosphere that calms nerves and encourages small, real moments that translate beautifully on camera. Through considered posing, refined lighting and selective direction, we guide subjects to look and feel their best while preserving individuality. Image Village pairs visual craft with an emphasis on service — clear communication, efficient workflow and careful retouching to deliver images that are ready for use. We can produce single headshots, executive portraits or cohesive team imagery designed to work together across digital and print channels. While portrait photography is our specialism, we also offer complementary videography support where clients want simple video introductions or profile clips; photographic portraiture remains the primary focus. Based in Leigh and serving clients across the UK, Image Village brings strategic thinking, studio expertise and warm collaboration to every portrait project. If you need professional portraits that present you and your business with clarity and confidence, our studio provides the creative direction and technical skill to make that happen.
