Professional Portrait Photographer in Devon & the South West

The perfect Professional Portrait is a collaboration between the photographer and the subject. This relationship, hand in hand with skills, equipment and experience, draw out the subject’s personality through the image, capturing photos that you can be proud of.

With decades of experience in this field and process, I have the necessary capabilities to deliver this high quality content spanning the variation from fun Family Portraits to professional images for your portfolio.

I have a portable studio set-up so that I can travel and visit you on site, or at a location of your choice.

Studio Portrait Photography

People photography is simply great fun capturing ‘life through the lens’.

Portraiture Photography comes in many guises, from more formal photos in the work place, including corporate headshots, simple but effective portfolio shots in a studio and, perhaps, of course capturing fabulous family shots on location (or in a studio). I offer Professional Photography, high-quality images, with a friendly service, having had the pleasure to work with many different individuals and groups I can easily adapt to any situations when it comes to taking pictures for you, get in contact with me.

Portrait Photoshoots on Location

I am based in Axminster, a short drive from the Jurassic coastline of Devon and Dorset. My premises are a 5-minute walk from the nearest train station in Axminster, with direct links to London and Exeter. There is a rich variety of landscapes to photograph (weather permitting). As an alternative, there are many historical buildings and churches that afford beautiful light inside to obtain the perfect portrait pictures.

Professional Headshots

Alternatively, I can use my portable studio in the comfort of your own home or place of work. If this works best for you please get in contact with me via my contact page and let me know what I can do for you. Also read my blog on a recent interaction using this studio, the results of which are above.

In order to get the best photos, one has to feel comfortable working with an experienced, professional photographer. Nick not only made me feel comfortable, but the experience was also great fun. I’m delighted and would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Professional Equipment | Professional Results

I use full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras with professional lenses. Images are edited using the latest editing software on colour balanced monitors to ensure accurate colour reproduction for printing. I use professional photography lighting equipment that I can transport to your home or place of work, or even a venue nearby.

I can also arrange for pictures to be taken in full-sized commercial studios in the West Country.

Affordable Portrait Photographer

I am happy to work with you or your employees in their working environment. I often find that, in particular with ‘hands-on’ trades, this creates a reassurance for customers viewing your products to see the person or people creating the work. I have experience working on large scale civil engineering projects, with all the health and safety implications that this brings; be that confined spaces or working at height.

So, whether you want a Commercial Portrait or a relaxed and fun family portrait photography session, get in touch now to discuss your needs.
