Dumfries-based portrait specialist creating professional headshots and business portraits with a calm, collaborative studio session that brings out authentic, confident expressions.
Andrew Hepburn Photography is a Dumfries-based portrait specialist dedicated to crafting professional portraits and headshots that feel honest, confident and unmistakably individual. Andrew’s work centres on portrait photography — studio and business headshots tailored for LinkedIn, company profiles and professional branding. His aim is simple: produce images that reflect who you are, not who you think the camera expects you to be. Why choose Andrew? Years of focused portrait work have honed an approach that blends technical control with relaxed direction. Andrew uses subtle lighting and considered composition to highlight facial character and professional presence, while keeping sessions calm and conversational. This combination helps even the most camera‑shy clients relax, resulting in natural expressions and images that communicate competence and approachability. How he works: every portrait session starts with a short consultation — a chance to discuss how you plan to use the images, the tone you want (formal, approachable, creative) and any practical needs for business portraits or headshots. Sessions are organised to be efficient and personable: clear guidance on posing, quick adjustments to lighting and background, and regular checks on the results so you can see progress as the shoot unfolds. Post‑session, Andrew carefully selects and retouches images to preserve authenticity while ensuring a polished, professional finish suitable for LinkedIn, corporate websites and press materials. Style and philosophy: Andrew favours a timeless, understated style. Rather than relying on heavy effects or trends, he focuses on light, expression and composition to create portraits that remain relevant and effective over time. His portrait studio approach emphasises collaboration — he works with clients to find the best angles and expressions that convey their personality and professional identity. While portraiture is his primary focus, Andrew also enjoys nature photography as a secondary interest. Based in Dumfries, he brings local knowledge and a professional, client-first mindset to every session. If you need a professional headshot or business portrait that truly represents you, Andrew Hepburn Photography offers a considered, uncomplicated path to confident, career-ready images.
