Professional Headshots

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.

What People Say

“John is the man with the intuitive approach to getting the best portraits for your viewers to connect with.”

“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.”
