53 North Photography

53 North Photography is a specialist portrait studio based in Lofthouse, GB, led by Steve — a photographer who believes great portraits are built on light, feeling and honest connection. As a dedicated portrait and business portrait specialist, Steve brings decades of experience (rooted in analogue film days) to every session, combining technical skill with a relaxed, conversational approach that helps even the camera‑shy feel at ease. Why choose 53 North for your portrait or headshot? Steve’s work is driven by a love of capturing light and emotion. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a refined business portrait for your website, or a striking personal portrait for the home, the studio approach is the same: thoughtful planning, natural yet purposeful lighting, and imagery that reflects who you are and what your brand stands for. The result is professional portraits that feel authentic and perform well across digital profiles and printed displays. How Steve works with you is simple and collaborative. Each session begins with a friendly consultation to understand your objectives, styling and the image tone you want to convey. Sessions are tailored — there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all — and are conducted in a calm, unhurried atmosphere so genuine expressions and strong body language can emerge. You’ll receive a private online gallery to review proofs and choose final images, and options for high‑quality prints and wall art to showcase your portraits in the best possible way. Local to Lofthouse and serving clients across Yorkshire (with studio access in Harrogate and Wakefield), 53 North Photography balances studio control with a personal touch. Steve values subtle, natural editing that enhances your image without losing its character — a philosophy captured in his guides and client conversations. If you’re looking for a portrait studio that specialises in professional portraits and business headshots, 53 North Photography offers focused expertise, a warm client experience, and imagery designed to elevate your presence online and offline.
