Most headshots look like someone trying to look confident.
Yours should look like you actually are.
One session. Guided from start to finish. You leave with images you’re proud to put in front of people.

Professional Headshots
Bolton Manchester and Lancashire
Bentley Headshots is based in Horwich, Bolton, and works with business owners, professionals, and creatives across Greater Manchester who want to present themselves clearly and confidently.
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and relaxed, with guidance throughout so you are not left guessing what to do. The focus is on creating professional headshots that feel natural, credible, and ready to use across LinkedIn, websites, and personal branding.
You show up. I guide you.
You walk away with photos that do the talking for you! Even when you’re not in the room.
- How Long Do Headshots take
- What should I wear for a headshot
- Do I need to be confident in front of the camera
- How quickly will I receive my images
Sessions are allocated up to two hours, although the photography itself is often much shorter (30 -40 minutes). The 70 minute time is allowing for conversation, adjustment, and choosing the right image without pressure.
Simple, well-fitted clothing works best. The focus is on you, not the outfit. Guidance is given before and during the session if needed.
No. Most people are not. The session is guided so you are not left trying to figure it out on your own.
Images are selected during the session, so you leave knowing exactly what you are getting. Final edits are delivered shortly after.
The ABC Process Of a Bentley Headshot
Agree Date/Time
Pick a slot that works for you.
✔ Monday – (some evenings available)
✔ Tuesday
✔ Thursday Evening
Show up. That’s the first step done.
Be Seen - As You
This is where the work happens.
Not the camera work. The people work
✔ You don’t need to know how to pose.
✔ You don’t need to perform.
✔You just need to turn up as yourself and i’ll do the rest.
✔Wear what represents you. Keep it real.
I’ll handle everything else.
Most people are surprised how quickly they settle. That’s not an accident.
Choose Your Images
✔ Choose your favourites
✔ Pay for what you love
No packages. No upsells. No pressure.
If you love one image, buy one. If six of them are cracking, buy six.
That’s it. Done.
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.

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.

“If you’re easily offended, John might not be your cuppa tea – but if you like a little cheeky banter, you’ll get some great images with him.”
