Natural, Professional & Environmental Portraits
A selection of portrait photography by Luke Patrick Dixon.
Portrait Photography Should Capture The Person, Not Just The Pose
The best portraits feel natural because they reveal something recognisable about the person being photographed.
You may need a portrait because you are building your professional profile, creating content for a personal brand, appearing in an article, launching a website or simply want photographs that feel more considered and personal.
Luke Patrick Dixon plans portrait photography around the individual. The location, background, light, composition and level of direction are chosen to support the impression you want the finished image to create.
You Should Look Like Yourself On A Good Day
Many people dislike photographs of themselves because they feel stiff, over-directed or simply unlike the person they see in everyday life.
Luke works differently. He gives enough direction to help you look your best while keeping the session natural and conversational.
The result is portrait photography that feels polished without losing your personality.
Your Portrait Can Communicate More Than A Standard Headshot
Sometimes you need an image that shows more context, character or environment than a tightly framed professional headshot.
Environmental and personal brand portraits can show more of your personality, profession, workplace or story while still presenting you professionally.
Luke considers how and where the finished photographs will be used so the images work for your website, profile, publication or wider communications.
