Professional Portrait & Commercial Photography in Dorset

ジャイアントキラー

Based in Dorset, I offer cinematic portrait photography, branding photography, and commercial photography for individuals and businesses across Bournemouth, Poole, and the surrounding areas. Whether you're after powerful headshots, editorial portraits, or creative brand visuals, I tailor every shoot to your vision.

A Dedicated Home Photography Studio

I work from a purpose-built home photography studio, designed to create calm, controlled, and consistent results for portrait and branding shoots.

The space allows full control over lighting, background, and atmosphere, making it ideal for cinematic portraits, personal branding, and creative work. Working in a dedicated studio environment removes many of the variables that come with location shoots, helping sessions feel relaxed, efficient, and focused.

For clients, this means a private, comfortable setting with no distractions, predictable lighting, and the time to work collaboratively without pressure. It’s particularly well suited to actors, creatives, and professionals who may be camera-shy or want a more considered, unrushed experience.

All portraits featured here are created within this studio space, using film-influenced lighting techniques to produce images with depth, mood, and character.
