Portrait Photographer
What is a portrait photographer and why commission a professional portrait photographer?
Portrait photography or portraiture in photography is a photograph of a person or group of people that capture the personality of the subject by using effective lighting, backgrounds, and poses.
Portraiture is a field of photography requiring the person having their portrait photograph taken to feel at ease. Chris has a natural, easy going and friendly nature, coupled with 25 years experience working as a professional photographer for editorials and publications, photographing people for business and professional profiles, including private photography commissions.
Knowing how to evoke a reaction to capture that special moment, for business or personal, Chris will work with you to create a portrait as individual as you are.
