Martin Clark Photography

I’m Martin Clark — a people photographer based in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, specialising in portrait photography and business headshots. My work sits between classic and contemporary, and my aim is simple: to create professional portraits that reveal personality and build connection. As a Qualified Member of The Guild of Professional Photographers and a multiple Top Ten portrait finalist, I bring both craft and care to every studio session. Why choose me for your portrait? I approach each shoot with the mindset of telling a story about the person in front of the lens. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn profile image, a striking studio portrait or a business headshot that unifies your team’s professional look, I focus on capturing authentic expression and presence. My experience as an international award-recognised people photographer means I know how to use light, angle and subtle direction to bring out the best in every subject. How I work—simple, collaborative and relaxed. We start with a pre-shoot conversation to understand your goals and the image you want to project. On the day I create a calm studio environment where you’ll be guided rather than posed into stiffness. I’ll work with you on expression, posture and small adjustments so the final portrait feels natural yet purposeful. For business clients I consult on consistent looks and framing so your company profile presents uniformly across websites and organisational charts. My process doesn’t end when the camera stops. Careful post-processing and light retouching preserve an honest, natural look while ensuring your final images are polished and ready for professional use. I pride myself on delivering portraits that are usable across print, web and social media without losing the subject’s character. While portraiture is my core speciality, I also work with clients who want family or corporate group portraits as part of their broader visual identity. If you’re looking for a specialist portrait photographer in Kilmarnock who combines technical skill, award-winning experience and a warm, people-first approach, get in touch and we’ll plan a session to capture the real you.
