Somerset Portrait Photographer

As a professional portrait photographer in Somerset, I work with businesses of all sizes across the county to provide portrait and editorial photography, from magazine and catalogue photoshoots to model headshots.

Frequently Asked Questions About Portrait Photography

  • Every job is different, so I price each job individually according to travel distance, time required on site, and your brief. Get in touch now to discuss prices and your project.

  • I will provide your photos via a professional online album, for which I will email you the link. You will be able to download all of the photos free of charge from the online album and share them with colleagues and business partners as required.

  • Images will be edited and delivered to you within 7 days of your photoshoot. I am able to provide images within 24 hours for an additional cost, if required. Please let me know if you need a faster turnaround for your images, as this would need to be agreed in advance of the shoot.

  • How many images you receive depends on your needs and the project brief. Sometimes, it's possible to get the perfect shots really quickly, and you may only need a handful of photos. Other times it may require a little more time to get all the shots you need. We'll discuss your needs before and during the shoot to ensure we hit the nail on the head and deliver photographs you love.

  • In order to capture shots you're happy with, it's important you wear something you're comfortable in for your portrait photoshoot. Of course, your clothing depends largely on the brief and your requirements. At the end of the day, this is your portrait shoot, so it's entirely up to you, or your stylist, what you choose to wear.
