Gavin Dunsire Photography

Gavin Dunsire Photography is a Bathgate-based portrait specialist focused on creating natural, confident images that suit professional and personal needs. Whether you need a clean studio headshot, a relaxed on-location portrait or a polished business/LinkedIn portrait, Gavin pairs considered lighting with careful retouching to deliver consistently strong results. Gavin’s photographic roots combine a lifelong interest in landscape and composition with several years’ experience as the in-house photographer at 101 Retail Ltd. That time working on fashion shoots — both in studio and on-location — taught him how to light garments, direct models of all experience levels and refine images through retouching and recolouring when needed. Those skills translate directly to portraiture: flattering light, confident posing and finishing that keeps each image looking natural. The way Gavin works is straightforward and collaborative. You’ll start with a short conversation about the purpose of the shoot — corporate headshot, portfolio portrait, LinkedIn or something more stylised — and he’ll recommend studio or on-location options to match. On the day he creates a relaxed atmosphere, guiding people through poses and expressions; as he’s written about his fashion shoots, "some were naturals and knew what they needed to do, some were professionals and some needed a bit more help and direction." The aim is always the same: make you look like the best, most authentic version of yourself. Technical care is a hallmark of the service. Gavin uses dynamic lighting setups (natural or flash), precise composition and targeted retouching to preserve texture and character while presenting a polished final image. Deliverables are digital and prepared for immediate use across business profiles, company websites and social media. Based in Bathgate, Gavin serves Central Scotland — including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Livingston and Falkirk — and welcomes enquiries from businesses and individuals alike. If you’re after a specialist portrait photographer who understands both studio craft and fashion-informed direction, Gavin offers a thoughtful, experienced approach that yields professional, characterful portraits.
