Rich Dyson Photography

Rich Dyson brings a practiced, personable approach to portrait photography in Edinburgh. Whether you need a clean professional headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait that projects authority, or a more creative personal portrait, Rich works to capture the look and presence you want to project. A headshot doesn’t need to look like an ID card — Rich believes the best portraits let your face tell the world who you are. Working from a portable studio and a bank of great locations across the city, Rich offers both controlled studio-style images and natural on-location portraits. His experience as a professional PR and business photographer means he understands how portrait imagery supports careers, publicity and personal branding. That commercial sensibility informs every session: from lighting and composition to the final edit, images are crafted to be useful across social, print and corporate profiles. Rich’s process is relaxed and collaborative. He guides clients through simple, confidence-building directions so even camera-shy subjects feel at ease; the goal is natural expression and a comfortable atmosphere rather than stiff poses. Before a shoot he’ll discuss the brief — the message you want your portrait to send — then recommend location, background and styling that suit that brief. During the session he focuses on making you look like the best version of yourself while keeping the mood conversational and unhurried. What sets Rich apart is the combination of a portrait-studio mindset with real-world PR and event experience. That mix delivers portraits that look great and perform well for business use: headshots that read strongly in small profile crops, business portraits that sit comfortably on websites and reports, and images that help clients stand out from the crowd. Based in Edinburgh, Rich is familiar with local venues and the visual cues that work best for UK business and creative sectors. If you’re looking for professional headshots, a business portrait, or a considered personal portrait in Edinburgh, Rich Dyson offers thoughtful, tailored sessions and images designed to communicate who you are with clarity and confidence.
