Creative Headshot Photographer, Liverpool

I’m a creative headshot photographer based in Liverpool, specialising in expressive, character-led portraits that reveal the person behind the image. For the past 14 years, I’ve been a freelance photographer working within the creative industry myself, and I’ve come to truly appreciate how much impact a natural, authentic portrait can have in promoting your business. With over 39 years of professional experience across film and digital workflows in printing and graphics, I’ve been fortunate to photograph and retouch individuals from a wide range of professions, each with their own story, style and presence.

Who I photograph:

Creative headshots and character portraits suit:

  • CEOs and entrepreneurs
  • Actors and performers
  • Authors and speakers
  • Consultants and therapists
  • Dancers, models and musicians
  • Anyone who wants to elevate their personal brand or professional profile

A distinctive, creative headshot helps you stand out on websites, social media, portfolios and CVs. If first impressions matter, investing in a creative headshot is a practical step toward stronger personal branding.

I contacted Alison for some professional headshots. I really loathe having my photo taken, however Alison was just amazing. She really takes the time to find out what you want, makes suggestions, and then works at putting you at ease throughout the whole session. As we did different setting (indoors and outdoors), we'd break between each so we could take a look at the selection of photos taken, making sure I liked them, and discuss different ideas together. Alison definitely wants to make sure you have both a good experience as well as have great photos; this doesn't feel just like a job for Alison, it's clearly her passion and she wants people to feel good about the shots taken. I'm so glad I found Alison and I'd recommend working with her to anyone. Especially those of you who are a little more camera shy, she will put you at ease for a great experience and wonderful pictures!

I recently moved to Liverpool on a short term work contract and being a photography junkie, I googled and was drawn to Alison’s website. As with anything new, I was slightly apprehensive but any anxieties I had disappeared the minute I met up with Alison. She truly has a way of making you feel like you have known her for awhile - she is an ultimate professional. The weather was not at it’s best having been born in warmer climate and all, but Alison went to all sorts of lengths to ensure we got the best angles. Long story short. I got the edited photos a few days later. Priceless moments encapsulated forever, thank you so much Alison.

Thanks Alison, I absolutely love the headshot photos! You have captured my personality and warmth as a therapist and added a professional context for new clients which is perfect. You've also captured the consultant rooms really well too, so my clients can envisage the environment before they arrive. I will be in touch in the future to arrange further photoshoots. Take care, Alison x

Having found a publisher for my third crime/mystery novel set in Liverpool, I needed a professional author headshot. Alison showed great patience and professionalism and I am delighted with the end result.
