Specialist portrait studio in Vale of Leven — Chris Sutherland creates professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and personal portraits. Relaxed, story-driven sessions that bring out authentic, confident images.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. As Lomond Photography’s portrait specialist based in the Vale of Leven, I focus on creating studio portraits and business headshots that reveal personality, confidence and character. Since choosing photography as my career in 2013, I’ve developed an approach that blends technical craft with a conversational, calm atmosphere so clients — even those who feel camera-shy — can relax and be themselves. Why choose Lomond Photography for your portrait? I treat every portrait session as a chance to tell a clear, honest story about the person in front of the lens. Whether you need a professional LinkedIn headshot, a business portrait for company profiles, or a personal studio portrait, my aim is to produce images that look natural, purposeful and ready for real-world use. My work is informed by years of practice around Loch Lomond and the Vale of Leven, where I’ve learned to combine strong composition, flattering light and a subtle, narrative style. What makes my approach special is the balance of direction and ease. I guide poses and expressions with gentle coaching rather than rigid instruction, so you feel comfortable while we explore looks that suit your professional or personal brand. Sessions are relaxed and collaborative: we talk through what you want to communicate with your portrait, pick the right backdrop and lighting, and focus on delivering images that serve your goals — from online profiles to press use. How I work with clients: I start with a friendly conversation to understand your needs and the context for the portrait. On the day, my priority is creating a low-pressure studio experience that still feels efficient and productive. After the session I provide carefully edited high-quality images you can use for LinkedIn, company profiles or personal keepsakes. My studio practice reflects the same respect for story and detail that guides my wedding and portrait work across the Loch Lomond area. If you want a professional, story-led portrait from a Vale of Leven photographer who understands business headshots and personal portraits, get in touch. I’d be honoured to help you create images that feel authentic and make the right impression.
