McAteer Photo

McAteer Photo brings a considered, character-led approach to portrait photography from our Cambuslang base. While our roots lie in architecture and commercial imagery, portraiture is a core discipline for us: we believe a great portrait reveals personality, builds trust and communicates a brand’s human story. Why choose McAteer Photo? Alan McAteer’s long experience behind the lens — trained from a young age and running a studio since 2002 — means technical excellence is matched by an intuitive sense for composition, light and atmosphere. We observe individuality and work to capture authentic, expressive images that sit comfortably across corporate channels: LinkedIn profiles, executive headshots, press use, company websites and annual reports. What makes our approach special is its balance of precision and ease. We aim to create a relaxed environment where even camera-shy subjects feel at ease. Our portrait work ranges from formal business portraits and professional headshots to candid, lifestyle-inflected images for social and editorial use. Each session is shaped around the client’s brief: we listen to brand needs, suggest suitable styles and deliver images that align with your visual identity. How we work: every portrait commission begins with a practical conversation about your objectives — audience, usage, and the tone you want to convey. We can shoot in our studio or on location across Glasgow, Cambuslang and the wider UK, tailoring lighting, backdrop and direction to suit the brief. During the session we use a gentle, conversational style to help subjects relax and bring out natural expression. After the shoot our experienced post-production team refines the images to ensure consistent colour, clean retouching and ready-to-use files for digital and print. We pride ourselves on professional reliability and a collaborative attitude. Clients return to us because we deliver high-quality portraits on time and with a clear understanding of how the images will be used in their communication and marketing. If you need professional headshots or business portraits that represent your people with clarity and honesty, get in touch — we’d be happy to discuss how a tailored portrait session can support your brand across Glasgow and the UK.
