"Fifteen years of photographing faces. I know how to find what works for you."
"Horwich studio Based at BL6 Studios, easy to find, at the top end of Horwich town
"1800+ faces Business owners, professionals, and the occasional dog."
Most of the people who book are business people from across Greater Manchester – Horwich, Bolton, Heaton, Egerton, and Westhoughton, through to Wigan, Warrington, and Chorley, and plenty of other spots within a 25-mile radius.
Some are practically neighbours. Others plan a trip in around a train or a meeting.
That’s made easier by where the studio sits – 2 miles from the motorway, and just over a mile from the local train station, with direct trains running from Manchester and Preston. Easy in, easy out, no excuse needed.
If you’re a business owner, consultant, or professional who needs a headshot that actually looks like you on a good day – not a stock-photo version of you – you’re in the right place.
The Person Behind the Camera
I’m John Bentley
I’ve worked with business owners, directors, creatives, and people who told me they were the least photogenic person they knew. That last group are usually my favourite clients.
I don’t shout instructions across a studio. I have a conversation. I read the room. I work out what’s going to get the best out of you specifically, and then I go and get it.
Most people arrive a little guarded. They leave lighter. That’s the bit I’m most proud of, not the images themselves.
The studio is in Horwich, Bolton. It’s a working space, not a showroom. Come as you are.

Your session is allocated two hours, but the photography itself is usually 30 to 40 minutes.
The rest of the time is for settling in, having a proper conversation,
and choosing your images without feeling rushed.
There’s no conveyor belt here.
