Mike Dow Photography

Mike Dow Photography brings a practical, client-focused approach to portrait photography in Alloa and Central Scotland. As a practitioner who works closely with businesses and individuals alike, we specialise in creating professional portraits and business headshots that help people look confident, approachable and ready for the next opportunity. Why choose Mike Dow Photography? We take pride in the high standard and prompt service our clients expect. Working closely with you, we tailor each session to the outcome you need—whether a crisp LinkedIn headshot, a contemporary business portrait for company profiles, or a refined image for personal branding. Our experience with commercial clients means we understand how a single portrait must fit into wider marketing and corporate communications. What makes our approach special is the balance of technical care and relaxed direction. We pay attention to lighting, composition and subtle posing so the result feels natural rather than forced. At the same time we keep the session calm and efficient, guiding you through expressions and posture so even first-time subjects feel comfortable. We aim to capture an authentic look that communicates competence and personality. How we work: every portrait project starts with a short conversation about your goals and the contexts where the images will be used. From there we recommend styling and framing that suit your brief, and manage the shoot with a professional but friendly manner. After the session we provide carefully edited photographs, ready for use across LinkedIn, company websites, press materials or marketing collateral. Based in Alloa, Mike Dow Photography understands the needs of local businesses and professionals. We adapt to each brief—whether producing a set of consistent headshots for a team or a single standout portrait—and ensure final images meet the standards of corporate use. Your satisfaction is our priority: expect clear communication, thoughtful direction and a polished result that serves your professional goals.
