Professional Business Headshot Photography in Folkestone
Business Headshots and Portraits
Photography to help you stand out and be remembered
Let’s be done with ‘good enough’
Aren’t you bored of bland, generic business headshots on LinkedIn and ‘People’ pages? I know I am.
In whichever industry you work, and particularly in an age of AI where there personal is even more important, the most compelling headshots do more than record appearance: they show the viewer a snapshot of who the person is, what their values are, and what they care about. They hold the viewer’s attention and create a sense of presence that remains with the viewer long after the photo has been seen.
My collaborative process draws strongly on your history, perspective, and aspirations, allowing us to create photographs that feel alive, engaged, and emotionally resonant. My Essential Session provides enough time to get that right for one exceptional photo, whether that be for LinkedIn, your company’s ‘people’ page, or anything for which you need to stand out. In my Signature Session, we work without time constraints, allowing the freedom to explore different ideas, moods, and emotional tones, for a full suite of photographs that encompasses all your needs.
The result of both sessions is portraiture that expresses who you are becoming, with confidence and emotional depth.
Business Headshots
My contemporary take on the classic business headshot. Bright and personable, yet distinctive and evocative.
Business Portraits
Darker portraits, suffused with shadow and texture, act as statement pieces in a set of images ideal for making an impression. For when you need more than just a LinkedIn headshot, perhaps for presentations or reports, my business portraiture will ensure people take note and remember who you are.
Business Headshot and Portrait Pricing
-
Essential Session | One headshot, made properly - £150
If you need a single, strong headshot – perhaps for LinkedIn, a company profile, or a press request – the Essential session is for you. Thirty minutes in the studio, one outfit, and one background: enough time to settle and get it right, without overcomplicating something that doesn't need to be complicated.
One retouched portrait included. Additional images available at £50 each.
— 30-minute session
— One outfit
— One background
— One retouched portrait included
-
Signature Session | A full headshot & portrait session, without arbitrary limits - £250 + £50 per portrait
The Signature session is for people who want a considered set of headshots and/or portraits. Not just one usable image, but a range they can draw on, this session will equip you with a range of photos with which to mark your place and make an impression. If you need distinctive photography for press releases, presentation assets, social media, website photography and the like, this is for you.
The Signature Session has no fixed duration, and there’s no limit on outfits or backgrounds. We take the time the work requires.
I take one Signature session per day and limit bookings to twelve per month. That's a deliberate choice: it means your session gets full attention, not a slot in a production schedule.

From My Clients
Emmet
What a brilliant photographer and great guy to deal with!
I found Chris through a Google map search as I needed some portrait pics for a new personal website. I'm not great in front of the camera tbh, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I can imagine he is excellent working with people who are nervous about doing a photoshoot.
The session definitely achieved the objective, which was to get a few different shots for placement on different parts of my website. Though the brief I gave was a bit vague, to be fair, he guided me through the shoot and collaborative process very well.
Once you are done with the actual shooting, he shows you the shots on a monitor and you have a discussion to select the best ones.
Full marks for the booking process, the experience itself, and the finished product.
Would highly recommend him!
Tim
‘I booked a session with Chris for a corporate headshot refresh, his photography is unique, which was the attraction.
Chris has a wonderful nature and ability to make you feel at ease, and capture you in your best moments. Chris was very thorough in understanding you as a human and understanding what you want from the session through a questionnaire and a call.
I would highly recommend Chris, and will definitely be back.’
Lara
Chris was an absolute delight to work with.
The studio itself benefits from beautiful natural light, and the final photos were nothing short of breathtaking. Chris has a rare ability to instantly put you at ease, and the shoot flew by, filled with laughter, creativity, and even the opportunity to learn a little more about yourself along the way.
I would highly recommend Chris as your go-to professional.
Paul
‘Chris’ skill, level of service, guidance and supportive manner were incredible. Chris supported me with a selection of headshots and photos as part of me launching my business.
As I’m someone who’s never been in front of a professional before he gave great guidance on what to do, and advice as to what may work best. The session was not stressful at all, and the quality of the photos is amazing! I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who’s considering getting professional photos done!’
Folkestone Photography
I shoot from the beautiful Folkestone Studio at The Wedge in Folkestone’s famous Creative Quarter. Two floors offers the potential for both stunning natural, and creative artificial, light – or a mixture of the two – in each shoot. I always shoot tethered, so you can see how each photo comes out on the large mounted TV. This allows for real-time collaboration on lighting, poses, and attire and ensures you're an integral part of the creative process throughout the session.
In addition to the charm of my studio, I am also happy to shoot on location, such as at your place of work. Please let me know about any specific location when you get in touch.
