Editorial & Executive Portrait Photography for PR, Media and Communications

I create editorial and executive portraits for PR teams, senior leaders and organisations that need confident, authentic imagery for public-facing communications. My work is designed for press, campaigns, reports and brand storytelling, combining strong portraiture with carefully observed, real-world context.

Alongside portraits, I produce brand-led and lifestyle imagery that supports the same purpose, helping organisations communicate who they are, what they do and why it matters.

I work with PR and communications teams to create portraits for:

Executive portraits for leadership and institutions

Executive portraits require a careful balance of authority and approachability. I photograph senior leaders, academics and subject-matter experts in a way that feels confident, professional and human.

These sessions are often used for:

Leadership announcements
Board and executive profiles
Speaking engagements and conferences
Institutional communications
Global and multi-market campaigns

Portraits are created with an understanding of how they’ll be used — across print, digital and international channels — and delivered in formats ready for immediate use.

The setting is classy and clearly used for business purposes. He is dressed casually yet smartly in a buttoned-down blue shirt, blending professional and approachable styles. This image is ideal for corporate profiles, leadership articles, and personal branding in a business environment

Brand-led and lifestyle imagery for campaigns and communications

Alongside editorial portraits, I create brand-led and lifestyle imagery that adds context and depth to your communications. This work focuses on real environments and real people, avoiding stock-style imagery in favour of authentic visual storytelling.

This is particularly effective for organisations working in:

Research and academia
Medtech and healthcare
Technology and innovation
NGOs and public-sector organisations

Imagery can include people at work, leadership in context, collaborative moments, laboratories, offices and operational environments — all photographed with the same editorial sensibility as the portraits themselves.

How a session typically works

Each project begins with a short conversation about usage, audience and tone. From there, I plan the shoot around your schedule and environment, whether that’s an office, institutional space, laboratory or on location.

On the day, I work efficiently and discreetly, providing clear direction and keeping sessions relaxed and focused. Final images are edited with consistency in mind and delivered ready for immediate use by PR and communications teams.

A considered, editorial approach

My work is guided by how images will sit alongside copy, layout and brand messaging. I pay close attention to:

Composition and negative space for design use
Consistent colour and tone across a set
Cropping options for multiple formats
A natural, non-overproduced finish

The result is a cohesive image library that works across press, digital, print and long-term communications.
