Alexander Baxter Photography

Alexander Baxter is a portrait specialist based in Elgin, Scotland, focused on producing quietly impactful, editorial portraits that serve people and brands. Working from a small, considered practice, Alexander blends a photographer’s eye with a marketer’s understanding of how a single image can communicate character, credibility and intent — precisely the qualities businesses and professionals need from a headshot or portrait. Why choose Alexander for portrait work? His practice privileges calm, understated imagery over fussy trends. Whether in the studio or on location, the priority is always to reveal a subject’s true presence: poised but approachable, professional but human. The resulting photographs are clean, composition-led and perfect for business portraits, LinkedIn profiles, executive headshots and brand storytelling where subtlety and tone matter. The approach is collaborative and unhurried. Each portrait project begins with a short conversation to understand the brief, the contexts where images will appear, and the visual tone you want to convey. On shoot day Alexander creates a relaxed atmosphere — conversational direction, considered lighting and straightforward posing that helps even camera-shy subjects feel at ease. For business clients he pays particular attention to wardrobe, backgrounds and framing so images read well across websites, social media and corporate materials, with minimal retouching that keeps work authentic. As a photographer rooted in both image-making and communications, Alexander brings practical experience in shaping visuals that perform for professional use. He offers both studio precision and environmental portraits that place subjects in context — useful for executives, creatives and teams who want portraits that feel lived-in rather than staged. Output is delivered in formats and resolutions suited for digital profiles, press use and corporate communications. If you’re in Elgin or elsewhere in the UK and seeking headshots or professional portraits with a considered, editorial sensibility, Alexander welcomes enquiries. He treats each session as an opportunity to craft an image that’s useful, honest and distinct — a portrait that works as hard as you do.
