Specialist portrait photography in Cumbernauld — relaxed studio and on-location headshots, LinkedIn portraits and personal-brand sessions that create confident, authentic images.
I’m Alexander Thomas — a portrait specialist based in Cumbernauld, working with professionals, teams and creatives across the UK to create natural, confident images that do the job they’re hired to do. My approach is friendly, flexible and focused on making the process simple and effective: whether you need a crisp LinkedIn headshot, a set of executive portraits, or personal-brand photography for your website, I guide you from brief to final files so the session feels relaxed and purposeful. What sets my portrait work apart is the balance between creative direction and real-world ease. I believe the best portraits come when people feel comfortable — not posed unnaturally. I use conversational prompts, subtle direction and quick, deliberate lighting setups (studio or on-location) to capture expressions that read as authentic on-screen and in print. The result is professional headshots and portraits that look modern, approachable and perfectly on-brand for business use. I work with individuals and teams. For solo sessions we focus on the look you want to project—authoritative, approachable, creative—and tailor lighting, backdrop and wardrobe guidance to match. For teams I create consistent, on-brand headshots that translate across websites, reports and internal platforms, making group shoots efficient and consistent while keeping each person’s character intact. Sessions are delivered with a clear, client-first workflow: a short pre-shoot conversation to clarify goals, a relaxed shoot (studio or location) and carefully edited final images that are delivered ready for use. I’m happy to advise on simple retouching, background options and formats for web and print so your assets are plug-and-play for LinkedIn, websites and marketing materials. Working from Cumbernauld means I’m well placed to serve Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas — and I frequently book studio spaces when a controlled environment is the best fit. If you favour on-location portraits, I bring the same calm, professional approach to capture your environment and story. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who keeps the experience straightforward and the results strong, let’s talk. I’ll help you look and feel confident in every image — exactly as your audience should see you.
