Somerset Photographer

Somerset Photographer (Chris Burch) is a portrait specialist based in Glastonbury, Mendip, GB. With a clear love for creating images that feel natural, light, colourful, fun and beautiful, Chris centres every portrait session on capturing the real personality behind the face. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a relaxed family portrait or a studio session to mark a life moment, Chris brings a calm, friendly energy that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax. Why choose Somerset Photographer for portrait work? Chris’s greatest strength is a rapid, genuine connection with people — a “super power” that encourages natural expression and honest moments. Portraits are not just about poses; they’re about atmosphere. In the Log Cabin Studio in Glastonbury or on location around Mendip, Chris blends gentle direction with documentary instincts to record both posed and candid images. The result is a varied collection of professional portraits and headshots that feel personal, modern and full of life. What makes the approach special is the mix of technical craft and human sensitivity. Chris shoots with an eye for natural light and clean composition, offering images that are flattering yet authentic. For business portraits and professional headshots, the focus is on presenting a polished, approachable version of you — perfect for LinkedIn, company profiles or personal branding. For family and children’s sessions (including bumps and babies), the emphasis is on fun, atmosphere and capturing the connections that matter. How Chris works: from the first enquiry you’ll find a practical, friendly conversation about what you want to achieve. Sessions are relaxed and flexible — bring outfits, props or favourite toys, or simply arrive as you are. After the shoot, images are carefully edited to enhance light, colour and tone while preserving the natural feeling of the moment. Chris prides themself on delivering high-resolution images in a private online gallery so you can easily download and share your portraits. Passion and story drive every session. Chris left a desk job to follow their dream with a camera in 2008 and has since made portraiture a core focus. If you’re in Mendip or nearby and want studio or location portraits with warmth, personality and an expert eye, Somerset Photographer offers a specialist, personal service that brings out the very best in you.
