Headshots, portraiture, commercial and corporate photography for creative professionals in Ashford, Kent
Your image matters. Show it at its best.
Whether you are in business or the creative industries, an instantly recognisable photo is your passport to success. Neither hiring managers nor casting directors will look at your profile for more than a few seconds, so your image has to grab their attention immediately.
I work with creative professionals to take distinctive, scroll-sopping images that won’t be forgotten. Combining a relaxing studio environment with a background of award-winning teaching, I’ll work with you to take a set of outstanding photographs you will truly be proud of.
You will leave my studio with your best foot forward, confident in the knowledge that you will stand out to the people you’d love to work with.
Testimonials

Megan Benedict
‘I wanted a new set of headshots after relocating to a new city and was very pleased with my experience working with Chris. In general, I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, but Chris did a superb job of making me feel comfortable and listening to my goals.’

Ian Christopher
‘I used Chris for a small photoshoot and from the start he was professional, understanding what I wanted to achieve and his input was spot on at all times. Final product was exactly what I wanted and delivered with both professionalism and humour. I would not hesitate to use him again.’

This is me
Hi, I’m Chris. I’ve been taking photos since I bought my first camera in Japan in 2008. I began shooting portraits and headshots because I love working one-on-one with people on creative projects.
I particularly relish working creatively with clients because I have aphantasia - I don’t have an internal ‘voice’ in my head. So, involving clients in my photographic process, interacting with their creativity and ideas, is a big part of how I work. I see my role as harnessing and facilitating clients’ creative energy and talent, bringing this out in each image.
Alongside my photography, I am also an award-winning lecturer in philosophy at the University of Kent, experience of which I bring into my photography through my direction and explanation of shoots. This doesn’t mean I’ll lecture you for hours on end, but it does mean I can understand what you want to get out of your photoshoot and then clearly guide you towards it.
My goal is to put you completely at ease in our shoot: regardless of how uncomfortable you might be in front of a camera, you deserve to look fantastic; I will create a relaxed and friendly environment in which you will be captured looking your very best.
