Pete Martin specialist Leicester Headshot & Portrait Photographer
While I do enjoy all aspects of the areas of photography I work in (events, drone, web content and headshots) the Corporate Headshot or Business Portrait will always hold something special for me.
The excitement when I get an enquiry for this service is pretty unmatched. I know when I get that person in front of my camera i’m going to learn about that person, I get to hear about the journey, their struggles and successes. I almost get to take something away from that person.
Most of the time, people don’t like having their photo taken, especially in the close up situation of a Headshot.
It’s my job to put that person at ease and get them the photo they want, desire or require. Maybe it’s just for LinkedIn, it could be for their new book. Maybe an album cover, possibly going on their companies website.. Have they been chosen to speak at a conference and require their headshot to be sent out to all delegates and even displayed on the screens at the side of the stage. It could be that the person has written an article for a business magazine and they need a photo to accompany it, showing the face of the person who wrote it.
All of the above situations require something slightly different, and every person is unique.
This is where I shine. My personal skills are something I get as many comments on as my photography skills.
Take a look at a few recent headshot/portrait examples as of July 2024

Time for a headshot or portrait upgrade?
You’d think i’d have an up to date headshot wouldn’t you??
Turn out my last headshot was done during the pandemic, around May 2020!!!
Definitely time to get a fresh one sorted. I waited till I had a morning free, & set up in my living room when everyone else was out. Also, i’d had a haircut the day before, so I was feeling all fresh!
Sony camera with 50mm lens (normally use 85 but I was stuck on space!), two strip/soft boxes with studio flash units, and a pop up dark textured backdrop was all that was needed!.
I tethered the camera straight to Capture One Pro on my iPad Pro and started remotely firing the the camera. After doing all the charity vlogs last year I feel way more comfortable in front of the camera and only had to do minor coaching on myself!
I did a couple of wardrobe changes, to add a little interest and colour and that was it.
Here is my new 2024 Headshot
2024 Headshot, taken with my mobile studio… in my lounge!
Taking the photo is only stage one.
After the image was lightly edited it was then exported in various sizes and uploaded to every social platform I use for business… that would be, Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, Google. Then my business tools like Xero, Starling and of course my email signature.
You can’t beat a consistent look across all platforms!
Now, lets see the old 2020 headshot… see how i’ve aged!
