What we do
How it works
Our approach to portraiture
“A portrait is a painting, photograph or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality and even the mood of the person.”
Not many people like having their photo taken. I’m not overly keen either!
As a professional portrait photographer, my approach to portraiture is the same as we give to lifestyle. The most important aspect is the ability to put the subject at ease.
I like to try and spend some time with the subject, chatting and getting to know one another before we start shooting. Once you know I’m not so scary we can start slowly working through some shots.
It sometimes takes a few set ups and a variation of poses to get to the best images. Over the years I have learnt how the sitter will look best (and even their best side) and will work together until we get the shot

”Pete and the team are outstanding photographers who just get it. ‘Real’ subjects tend to be uncomfortable and self-conscious, but Pete has a way of relaxing people and bringing the best out of them. I am always extremely pleased with the results we get on our business portrait shoots, and working with Pete is always great fun too.
