Light With A Lens - photography by Dan Jones

I'm Dan — the photographer behind Light With A Lens. Based in Bearsden and serving the wider Glasgow area, I specialise in portrait photography: studio headshots, business portraits and professional images built to represent who you truly are. Why choose me? My work is driven by storytelling. As an award‑winning, queer‑inclusive and person‑focused photographer I aim to ‘unboring your photography’ — creating dynamic, colourful portraits that feel authentic, confident and memorable. I draw inspiration from portrait greats and bring a contemporary, editorial energy to every session so your photos stand out on LinkedIn, company websites, press features or personal portfolios. What makes my approach special is a blend of craft and care. I take time to understand what motivates you — whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a polished business portrait or a creative personal portrait — and I shape each shoot around that vision. My photography is values‑led: honesty, openness and collaboration guide how I work. That means I listen, offer direction when you need it, and create a relaxed atmosphere so even camera‑shy clients feel at ease. How I work with clients: sessions are personable and focused. Before your shoot we’ll chat about style, wardrobe and the story you want to tell. On the day I lead with simple, clear direction to capture natural expression and strong presence. I use lighting, colour and composition to craft images that communicate professionalism and personality in equal measure. After the session I deliver edited images in line with my style, ready for professional use or sharing. My passion comes from photographing people — their expressions, their confidence and the small moments that reveal character. As someone who cares about inclusive representation, I especially enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds and the queer community to make sure their portraits reflect their identity authentically. If you want a portrait that feels human, impactful and unmistakably you, get in touch. Let’s tell your story through powerful, professional portraits shot in Bearsden and Glasgow.
