Bentley Headshots

Stop using a headshot that quietly works against you.

read me first

Your current headshot is either helping people trust you, or it is quietly getting in the way.

If it is old, awkward, badly lit, cropped from another photo, or just does not feel like you anymore, book a session.

You do not need to know how to pose. I will guide you.

All images are chosen at the session and are priced at £37 per image. Each purchased image includes a full usage licence and light retouching to remove temporary marks, blemishes, and distractions.

You only buy what you want. No pressure sales.

Session fee: £49
Selected images: £37 each
Studio: Horwich, Bolton

Gentleman with glasses - John Bentley headshot photographer

Confident Studio Headshots

A guided headshot session in Horwich, Bolton

 

for business owners, professionals, creatives, speakers, authors, consultants, and anyone who needs to be seen properly.

Book Your Session

Most people do not book a headshot because they love being photographed. They book one because they have reached the point where the old photo, the phone shot, the cropped wedding picture, or the awkward LinkedIn image is no longer good enough. It might not be terrible, but it is not helping either.

A strong headshot does not need to shout. It needs to hold attention, create trust, and give people a clear sense that you are capable, approachable, and worth speaking to. That is what we work towards here.

You show up. I guide you. You leave with images that can actually be used.

Guidance throughout the session

You are not left standing there trying to work it out. I guide your stance, expression, head tilt, eye contact, and small adjustments as we go.

Images reviewed during the session

You see what is happening as we shoot. This helps you relax because you are not guessing whether it is working. It also means we can correct things quickly and build on what looks right.

Image selection before you leave

You choose the images at the session. This keeps the process simple and avoids the endless back-and-forth that can happen with online galleries.

Professional retouching

Your selected images are professionally finished with natural retouching. The aim is to tidy the image, not make you look fake.

Unlimited usage rights on purchased images

Once you have bought your selected images, you can use them across your professional profiles, website, social media, marketing materials, press use, and business platforms.

Does this sound familiar

You know you need a better headshot, but you keep putting it off because the thought of being photographed makes you feel awkward. You do not know how to stand, what to do with your face, whether to smile, whether to look serious, what to wear, or how to look confident without looking like you are trying too hard.

So you make do. You use an older photo. You crop yourself out of a group picture. You use something taken quickly on a phone. You tell yourself it is fine for now.

The problem is, people see it before they read anything about you. On LinkedIn, your website, your email footer, your speaker bio, your proposal, your book profile, your company page, or your social media profile, your image is often the first thing people judge. That judgement may be quiet, but it still happens.

If the image feels flat, nervous, dated, blurry, badly lit, or disconnected from who you are now, it adds friction. People might not know why they hesitate, but they do.
