Corporate Headshots in Leicester for a Local Tax & Law Firm

I recently worked with a respected tax and law firm in Leicester to update their team’s professional portraits. The project included a mix of clean, white-background corporate headshots as well as more casual business portraits taken while team members sat together at a table. This approach gave them both a polished, professional look for their website and LinkedIn, and a more approachable style of photography to use in marketing materials.

Professional Business Photography That Builds Trust

For client-facing businesses such as law firms, tax specialists, and creative agencies, professional images make all the difference. High-quality corporate headshots in Leicester help build trust, demonstrate expertise, and give a consistent look across your website, press releases, and social media.

A Fast, Efficient Service

Time was important for this project. The entire shoot — including formal headshots and relaxed team shots — was completed in under two hours. As requested, I provided same-day image delivery, giving the firm exactly what they needed to update their website and staff profiles without delay.

Why Invest in Professional Corporate Photography?

  • Consistency across your team – ensuring every profile photo matches your brand image.

  • Professionalism & credibility – vital for law firms, accountants, and other professional services.

East Midlands Chamber of Commerce Outdoor Location Headshots

96 New Headshots at Whatton House – A Brilliant Day with East Midlands Chamber

Leicester Headshot Photographer Pete Martin

Last week I had the pleasure of working with the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce at the stunning Whatton House in Loughborough. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, the venue offered the perfect backdrop for a full day of professional headshots.

Across the event, I photographed 96 business professionals, making use of the natural light and elegant surroundings to capture fresh, modern portraits that truly reflect the individuals behind the businesses. Each image was carefully edited and delivered the very next day – because in today’s fast-paced professional world, speed and quality go hand-in-hand.

It’s been a real thrill to now see so many of those headshots already live on LinkedIn, updating profiles and making a powerful first impression. The shoot even sparked a flurry of new connection requests for me, proving once again the power of a strong visual presence.

A huge thanks to the East Midlands Chamber and all who took part. It was a brilliant atmosphere throughout – relaxed, friendly, and productive – exactly the way I like my shoots to run.

If you’re part of a business network or professional group and think something similar could benefit your members, drop me a line. Let’s make sure your first impression is your best one.

Christmas Comes Early at the Poolside – Festive Swimwear Shoot with Everyone Active

Christmas Comes Early at the Poolside – Festive Swimwear Shoot with Everyone Active

Last week I had the pleasure of working with one of my regular clients, Everyone Active, on a fun and festive Christmas marketing campaign. This shoot was a little different – we brought the holiday cheer to the poolside!

The session featured a cheerful Christmas Elf and a group of young swimmers modelling brand-new, unreleased swimwear from Zoggs. The vibrant colours and playful designs looked fantastic on camera, and the energy from the kids made for some brilliant, natural shots.

I came fully prepared to get in the water with my camera (yes, I even packed my swimming shorts!), but thanks to my trusty telephoto lens, I was able to capture all the action without a splash. It turned out to be a really fun, fast-paced shoot with a great team and some very enthusiastic little models.

If you’re looking to add some creativity and colour to your next marketing campaign, especially for seasonal promotions or branded content, get in touch. I’ve been delivering standout commercial and lifestyle photography since 2018, and I’m always up for a challenge—even if it means jumping in the pool!

Professional Headshots for a Medical Entrepreneur Pete Martin Photography

Professional Headshots for a Medical Entrepreneur - Pete Martin Photography

I recently completed a headshot session for a medical professional who’s taking an exciting step—launching her own practice. She reached out looking for clean, confident images that would help introduce her new brand with professionalism and warmth.

We kept the look timeless and versatile by starting with a corporate grey background, which tends to work beautifully on everyone and lends a polished, neutral tone. We also incorporated a rich dark green backdrop that perfectly complemented her outfit and added a subtle touch of personality to the session.

The shoot itself took just under an hour. She selected her six favorite images during the session, and I delivered the final retouched versions the very next day. It was a quick turnaround, and she was absolutely thrilled with the results!

Helping professionals bring their vision to life—especially during such a pivotal moment—is one of the best parts of what I do. If you’re starting something new and need headshots that reflect who you are and where you’re headed, I’d love to work with you.

📸 A Look from the Session

Professional Headshots with a Personal Touch: Georgia’s Film & Media Portrait Session


Professional Headshots with a Personal Touch: Georgia’s Film & Media Portrait Session


A Familiar Face, a New Direction

I recently had the joy of reconnecting with Georgia, a former guitar student of mine, now 23 and freshly graduated in Film and Media from Coventry University. As she steps into the world of production and storytelling, she reached out for a set of professional headshots — something creative yet clean, to support her applications in the film and media industry.


💬 “I found you on Facebook and loved your portrait work — could we do something like this?”


We exchanged a few Pinterest inspirations and locked in a one-hour session close to home.

Shooting on the Canal — With Style


The canal offered a perfect blend of natural backdrops and urban charm. It’s a place we both knew well, making it easy to feel relaxed and at ease.



I kept the lighting minimal and mobile — mainly a one-light setup to gently shape the light, with the occasional use of a purple-gelled second light to add a subtle pop of colour and flair. The idea was to keep things natural but visually interesting, reflecting Georgia’s artistic eye.

Shot Wide Open – 50mm & 85mm Portrait Magic


I worked primarily with my 50mm and 85mm lenses, shooting nearly wide open the whole time. These lenses deliver a beautiful depth of field, drawing attention to the eyes and letting the background melt away.




It’s a flattering, cinematic look — ideal for headshots aimed at the creative industries. We captured a mix of traditional looks, profile angles, and a few relaxed moments in between.

Creative Industry Headshots That Reflect You


Georgia left with a gallery of professional headshots that feel authentic, confident, and completely her. These aren’t just photos — they’re tools she can use in portfolios, LinkedIn, casting profiles, or creative CVs.



💬 “I absolutely love the shots — they feel so natural and professional. Just what I  needed!”

Professional Corporate Headshots Across Two Cities – Consistent, Cohesive & Brand-Ready

Professional corporate headshot photography across Leicester, Nottingham, Coventry, Birmingham, Northampton, and London. Consistent, brand-aligned portraits for businesses of all sizes.

Consistent Corporate Headshots Across Leicester, London and Beyond

When a leading UK company with nearly 200 employees needed fresh, professional headshots for their website and LinkedIn profiles, they turned to me to deliver a consistent look—across multiple locations. Over three busy days—two in Leicester and one in London—I created a full set of cohesive, brand-aligned portraits that now help the company present a strong, unified image online.

Delivering Professional Headshots Across Leicester and London

The brief was clear: they needed headshots that looked clean, modern, and consistent—no matter where or when the employees were photographed. With shoots scheduled across both Leicester and London, it was crucial to maintain the same lighting, background, and style for every individual, ensuring a polished and professional finish.

My Approach

• Pre-shoot planning: I worked closely with the company’s marketing team to create a clear style guide, including backdrop choice, lighting setup, and posing direction.

• Mobile studio setup: I brought my portable studio to each location, ensuring a uniform setup for perfect consistency between cities.

• Efficient scheduling: Using an organised time slot system, I photographed almost 200 staff members while giving each person enough time to feel at ease in front of the camera.

• On-site image selection: Employees could preview and select their favourite image on the spot, helping streamline the post-production process.

• Professional editing: Every chosen photo was carefully retouched for a clean, natural result that represents the company professionally across their website and LinkedIn profiles.

Why Consistency in Corporate Headshots Matters

A consistent set of headshots helps companies present a cohesive, trustworthy image to clients, partners, and the wider public. It strengthens brand identity and boosts internal pride among teams. Whether you’re based in one office or spread across multiple locations, having unified portraits ensures a polished presence across all platforms.

Corporate Photography Services Across the Midlands and London

Although I’m based in Leicester, I regularly provide professional headshot photography services in Nottingham, Coventry, Birmingham, Northampton, and London. Whether you need headshots for a small team or a nationwide workforce, I can deliver consistent, high-quality results at every location.

Looking for Corporate Headshots in Leicester, Nottingham, Birmingham or London?

If you’re planning a headshot refresh for your business, I’d love to help. I offer on-location corporate headshot photography tailored to your brand, with full consistency across different offices and cities.

East Midlands Chamber of Commerce, Celebration of Culture event

Capturing the Vibrance of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce Event

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an unforgettable event hosted by the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce. As a professional event photographer, it's always exciting to cover events that bring together business professionals, incredible entertainment, and a strong sense of community — and this event delivered on all fronts.

Held in a lively and welcoming atmosphere, the evening was a true celebration of culture and connection. One of the highlights was the incredible catering by Sanjay Foods, who provided a stunning spread of authentic Indian cuisine. From aromatic curries to delicious street food favorites, the flavors were as vibrant as the visuals — a dream to photograph and a joy to witness guests enjoying.

The entertainment lineup was just as impressive, featuring a variety of talented performers, singers, musicians, and dancers who brought energy and color to the event. Every moment was filled with movement, emotion, and engagement — the kind of content that makes for powerful, eye-catching event photography.

Why Professional Event Photography Matters

Events like this showcase the value of professional event photography. High-quality images don't just document the day — they tell a story, highlight the atmosphere, and provide lasting marketing value for the hosts, vendors, and performers alike. As an experienced event photographer, I focus on capturing those key moments that reflect the energy and purpose of your event.

Whether you're planning a business gala, cultural celebration, or networking event, hiring a professional ensures your event is captured at its very best.

Looking to elevate your next event with stunning photography? Let’s connect and create something unforgettable.
