Artistic and Contemplative Photography
for the Modern Professional

Headshots, Portraits and Corporate Photography in Ashford, Kent

Your Portrait. Your Story. Framed with Depth.

You’re more than just a client; you’re a collaborator in telling a story that reflects your creativity, strength, and intellectual curiosity. As a lover of arts and culture, you deserve singular portraits that capture your individual nuances - not bland, generic facsimiles.

Say goodbye to superficial photos and forced poses that misrepresent your originative passions. Instead, be involved in a creative process that respects and integrates your artistic views and critical thought, leaving your feeling respected and ambitious.

My photography is grounded in empathetic listening and guidance, ensuring you feel understood and able to express yourself. In my rural studio, I create a relaxed environment where your intellectual, artistic, and professional influences can shine. The result? Images that make you proud to showcase yourself.

If this resonates with you, and you’re eager to see how we can create something special, let’s chat.

    Interested in working with me but have some questions first?

This is me

Hi, I’m Chris. My goal is to put you completely at ease in our shoot: regardless of how uncomfortable you might be in front of a camera, you deserve to look fantastic; I will create a relaxed and friendly environment in which you will be captured looking your very best.

I particularly relish working creatively with clients because I have anauralia (a form of aphantasia) - I don’t have an internal ‘voice’ in my head. So, involving clients in my photographic process, interacting with their creativity and ideas, is a big part of how I work. I see my role as harnessing and facilitating clients’ creative energy and talent, bringing this out in each image.

Alongside my photography, I am also an award-winning lecturer in philosophy at the University of Kent, experience of which I bring into my photography through my direction and explanation of shoots. This doesn’t mean I’ll lecture you for hours on end, but it does mean I can understand what you want to get out of your photoshoot and then clearly guide you towards it.
