Headshot & Portrait
Photographer Brighton
Brand Photography for Business Owners
Actors and Creatives
Hi, I’m Mark, a Headshot and Portrait Photographer based in Brighton.
If you’re looking for someone to take photographs of you, your business or your brand, that have a genuine, honest feel then get in touch
I work with professionals, business owners and actors in Brighton and the South East of England, who need pictures that make them and their brand look confident and authentic.
Whether we’re shooting in my central Brighton studio, or in your workplace or home, I like to keep the sessions simple, calm and focused, getting to know you, your values and your direction before I reach for the camera.
Photography is much to do with the connection you make with your photographer, this results in far more natural, relaxed pictures.
Making photographs that feel soft and flattering, not harsh or over-styled, means there’s an emphasis on warmth and depth over stark contrast. This gives the photos a comfortable, genuine human quality.

How it works....
01 Choose your preferred time and date
Go to my Pricing page and click on the Book Now button to choose the date and time that best suits you. If you prefer you can call to discuss and I'll book you in.
02 Arrive and chat
Before a camera is picked up we get to know one another. We discuss what the images will be used for and the variety of styles we'd like to get.
03 Shoot and review
We work with different outfits, backdrops and styles, reviewing the images as we go. The emphasis isn't on overly directing you, but helping you look natural and authentic.
04 choose your favourites
I'll send you a link to your own personal gallery where you can pick the shots you like best ready for editing.
I have a large daylight studio in the centre of Brighton which gets beautiful afternoon sun, and as I only book one client per day we can take our time, working with multiple looks, natural light and also studio light set-ups.
Alternatively you may want me to come to your own space, for this I have a full mobile studio set-up which can be used when shooting bigger teams or at corporate events.
If you want photographs that inspire confidence and visually convey your brand, professionalism and approachability then let’s collaborate on something that will make people stop and learn more.
