Matt Marcus Photography

Matt Marcus is a Glasgow‑based portrait specialist whose practice sits at the intersection of fine‑art portraiture, editorial fashion and commercial photography. For clients seeking more than a standard headshot, Matt brings an aesthetic sensibility shaped by years of editorial and advertising work—producing portraits that communicate personality, presence and purpose. Why choose Matt Marcus Photography? Matt approaches every portrait as a collaboration. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a polished corporate portrait or a creative personal portrait, he focuses on bringing out authentic expression through considered lighting, refined composition and subtle direction. His background in fashion and editorial photography gives his studio portraits a distinctive edge: they feel composed and elevated without losing the subject’s genuine character. What makes the approach special: the work balances fine‑art attention to tone and form with practical, business‑minded clarity. Matt’s portraits favour natural posing, strong but flattering lighting and a restrained palette that keeps the subject front‑and‑centre. The result is imagery that works across professional profiles, press, portfolios and promotional use—images that are at once expressive and appropriate for commercial contexts. How Matt works with clients: the process begins with a short pre‑shoot conversation to understand goals, usage and the look you want to achieve. In the studio he creates a relaxed, confident atmosphere, guiding posture and expression while remaining responsive to spontaneous moments. Sessions are tailored—from concise headshot sittings to more exploratory portrait sessions—always with clear direction and an eye for detail. After the shoot Matt applies careful retouching and tonal work to deliver polished final images ready for digital or print use. Matt’s practice is rooted in a genuine passion for portraiture. He values the human stories behind each face and aims to translate those stories into compelling visual form. Based in Glasgow, Matt Marcus Photography offers a professional portrait studio experience that pairs creative, editorial thinking with the clarity and reliability clients expect for business and personal portraits.
