Focus And Shoot Photography

I’m a portrait specialist based in Long Eaton, bringing the focused, personal approach of Focus And Shoot Photography to every session. My work centres on creating professional portraits that genuinely reflect who you are — whether that’s a contemporary business headshot for LinkedIn, a natural family portrait, or a characterful personal portrait. I favour a relaxed, bespoke experience that puts clients at ease and produces images people love to display. My approach is simple: spend time getting to know you, then create images that feel honest and familiar. Before the shoot we discuss style, clothing and the story you want your portrait to tell. In the studio I use a variety of lighting setups and backdrops to shape mood and flatter features, guiding poses in a calm, encouraging way so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. I take time to explore expressions and small, authentic moments — the smile, the look, the posture — that make a portrait memorable. Clients choose me because I combine technical craft with a gentle, people-first process. I limit the number of sessions I take each day so I can give every person my full attention; during a shoot you’ll be able to check images and we’ll collaborate on what works. After the session you’ll receive a curated contact sheet and I’ll carefully retouch the selected images to preserve a natural, true-to-life representation — never over-processed, always professional. While portrait photography is my core expertise, I also photograph business and family subjects with the same considered approach. My studio is equipped for high-quality headshots, actor and model updates, fine-art children portraits and family sessions. I occasionally work on related creative shoots (maternity, pets, fashion and fine-art projects) but my focus remains on delivering outstanding portrait and business imagery. If you want portrait photography in Long Eaton that feels personal, professional and unforced, let’s talk. Together we’ll design a session that captures your best self — a portrait that works for your brand, your family wall, or your own keepsake collection.
