Richard Newton is a Dunfermline-based portrait specialist offering professional studio and corporate headshots. His flexible, friendly approach helps clients relax to create authentic, polished images.
Richard Newton is a portrait specialist based in Dunfermline who brings over thirty years of commercial photography experience to every portrait session. While his work spans business and commercial assignments, portraiture is at the heart of his practice — from corporate headshots and LinkedIn photos to bespoke professional portraits that reflect personality and purpose. Why choose Richard? He combines a dependable, friendly approach with the technical know‑how honed across decades photographing people and organisations throughout Scotland and the UK. Clients come to him when they want more than a standard ID shot: they want professional portraits that communicate competence, approachability and character — images that work equally well on a company website, LinkedIn profile or printed material. What makes his approach special is a focus on relaxation and authenticity. Richard creates a calm atmosphere, giving clear, conversational direction so that even camera‑shy clients feel at ease. He pays attention to lighting, composition and subtle expression, prioritising natural, flattering results rather than over‑posed formality. Every session is shaped around the client’s aims — whether an executive portrait with a purposeful, authoritative feel or a warmer headshot for personal branding. How he works: sessions begin with a short consultation to understand the role the portrait will serve and the impression the client wants to convey. Richard then guides the shoot with practical, encouraging direction and a focus on capturing genuine moments. After the session, images are carefully reviewed and prepared for final delivery, ensuring polished, professional files suited for online and print use. Rooted in Dunfermline and serving clients across Fife and the UK, Richard offers a flexible, dependable service tailored to business needs. If you need a professional headshot, LinkedIn photo or a portrait that tells your story clearly and confidently, Richard Newton Photography blends experience, sensitivity and technical craft to produce portraits that work for you.
