Hi — I’m Sam (Samantha Brown). Portrait photography is my passion and my practice. Based in Litherland and working across Liverpool, Merseyside and the North West, I specialise in professional portraits and headshots for business, actors and personal branding. With 25 years of photographic experience, an art‑school education (degree in photographic studies from Edinburgh) and a masters in multimedia design and production from Liverpool, I bring a refined visual eye rooted in both fashion and documentary practice. My work sits at the meeting point of fashion-led styling and unobtrusive, photojournalistic observation. Early editorial work — including assignments with The Ford Model Agency in New York and documentary and editorial shoots for orchestras and cultural organisations — taught me how to watch for honest moments and capture them without fuss. That ability to be unobtrusive means I can put even camera‑shy clients at ease and produce portraits that feel natural, confident and authentic. Why choose me for your portrait? I focus on creating images that tell your story: strong, professional headshots for LinkedIn and company profiles; expressive promotional portraits for performers; and confident branding images that help you stand out. I work collaboratively — we begin with a short consultation to discuss the look you want, wardrobe and where the shoot will work best. On the day I use a relaxed, conversational approach to help your personality shine through, combining available natural light with considered lighting when needed. I also photograph teams and company profiles, helping businesses create consistent, engaging images across staff pages and marketing materials. After the session I personally edit and retouch images with care to preserve character while ensuring a professional finish. Digital files are supplied for web and print, and I can advise on presentation options — from high‑quality prints to framed images. My goal is simple: to create portraits that you and your business will be proud of for years to come. If you’re in Litherland, Liverpool or the surrounding North West and need a specialist portrait photographer who blends technical craft with warmth and creativity, get in touch. I’m happy to answer questions and help plan a session that feels right for you.
