Need a photographer in Leeds who understands what your business is trying to achieve? I’m Danny Thompson, a Yorkshire photographer creating professional images for businesses of all shapes and sizes. From branding shoots and headshots to commercial property, products, events and drone photography, I’ll help you get photographs that do more than simply look nice. Proper photography, planned around your business and how you want to use it.
Leeds is full of people doing interesting things. You’ve got ambitious independent businesses, established companies, creative agencies, retailers, hospitality venues and everything in between. The challenge isn’t always having something worth photographing. It’s finding the time to get it done properly.
I’m Danny, and that’s where I can help.
Maybe your company has grown and the people on your website don’t resemble the team anymore. Perhaps you’re launching a new product, opening a premises or you’ve got a brilliant project that deserves better than a few quick phone pictures.
I’ll take the time to understand what you’re doing and who you want to reach. We can photograph at your Leeds workplace, somewhere that suits your brand or in a studio if we need more control over the setup.
And don’t worry if you have absolutely no idea what to do when somebody points a camera at you. That’s more common than you might think. A bit of direction, a relaxed atmosphere and the occasional terrible joke usually sort that out.
I want you to enjoy the experience as much as the finished photographs.
– Danny T.
I hired Danny to take a series of professional photos for my new website design. From the word go the experience was first class.

A few photographs of your team might be exactly what you need. Or perhaps you’re planning a whole collection of images for a website, campaign or company rebrand. I work across several photography specialisms, which means we can cover different requirements without losing sight of the bigger picture.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE
Not everything can be photographed properly with your feet on the ground. Large developments, commercial properties and construction sites often need an aerial view to show their size, surroundings and progress.
Drone photography is particularly useful when you need to communicate something that would otherwise take several photographs to explain. Whether you’re documenting a building project, preparing marketing material for a property or recording changes across a site, the right aerial imagery can be a valuable addition.
Leeds has busy urban areas and different airspace considerations, so every proposed flight needs checking. I’ll assess the location, permissions, weather and operating requirements before confirming what can safely be photographed.
Have a Leeds site you’d like photographed? Send me the details and we’ll look at the options.
Running a business is busy enough without worrying about organising a photographer. I’ll help you work out what needs doing and make sure the shoot fits around your requirements.
01 / THE BRIEF
Tell me where the photographs are going and what you want them to achieve. I’ll help you plan the people, locations, shots and any preparation needed beforehand.
02 / THE SHOOT
On the day, I’ll take care of the lighting, equipment and camera work. We’ll follow the plan but leave room for those moments you can’t always organise in advance.
03 / THE RESULTS
Once the images are selected and edited, you’ll receive an online gallery. We’ll agree the delivery requirements and intended uses before the shoot.
From offices in the city centre to businesses operating in the wider Leeds district, I can arrange photography at a location that makes sense for you.
There’s a real variety of working environments across Leeds. You might need photography in a modern office, a busy restaurant, a manufacturing facility, a retail space or a building that’s just undergone a full renovation.
I cover the city centre and surrounding locations including:
If your workplace or venue is elsewhere, that’s fine too. I travel throughout Yorkshire and across the UK for commercial photography.
One of the advantages of photographing a business at its own premises is that the photographs can show what really happens there.
But we also need to think about how the shoot will work in practice.
For an office team, we might arrange headshots in a meeting room so people can pop in between their usual work. For a restaurant or hospitality venue, it could make more sense to photograph interiors before the doors open. On an industrial site, we might need to work around production schedules and safety requirements.
I can help plan photography for:
The point is to get the photographs without turning your working day upside down.
Both have their advantages. If you want images showing your people at work, your business premises or the environment your customers visit, photographing on location in Leeds often makes the most sense.
For individual headshots, product photography or shoots where controlled lighting and backgrounds are important, a studio might be the better option.
My own photography studio, Albion Street Studios, is at Dean Clough in Halifax. It’s equipped for professional portrait, branding and product photography, and gives us a dedicated space to work.
We can discuss what you’re trying to achieve and decide which option is right for your shoot. No point dragging you to a studio if your workplace is the perfect backdrop.
You can find out more about Albion Street Studios and the facilities available.
A website refresh isn’t the only reason to book photography. New staff, completed projects, product launches, events and everyday business updates all give you something worth sharing. If creating fresh content keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your list, I can help with that too.
Running your own business and fed up with using the same photographs over and over? Content Club offers regular group photography sessions at selected locations, giving you professional images without having to plan a full individual shoot each month.
For organisations needing consistent marketing content, Club Business brings together planned photography and short-form video. We’ll look at your marketing priorities, upcoming activity and what customers need to see, then create content around those requirements.
A few things worth knowing before organising your photography. If you’ve got something particular in mind, give me a call on 07540 118 284 and we can discuss the details.
Yes. I can bring professional lighting and a suitable backdrop to your office, provided we have enough space. It’s a practical option when you need photographs of several staff members without arranging for everyone to travel to a studio. We can also capture more natural workplace images during the same visit.
I cover Leeds city centre and the surrounding district, including areas such as Holbeck, Headingley, Horsforth, Pudsey, Morley, Garforth and further afield. Whether you’re organising a shoot at an office, retail unit, commercial property or event venue, we can discuss the location and access beforehand.
I’d start by looking at what the new brand needs to communicate. That might include leadership portraits, team photographs, workplace images, products, customer-facing services and behind-the-scenes content. We’ll plan a useful collection rather than taking dozens of photographs that all look the same.
Absolutely. Professional headshots can be photographed individually or as part of a wider team session. I’ll help with posture, positioning and expressions, and we can agree a consistent style that suits your company without making everyone look overly formal.
Yes, arranging photography outside your usual busy periods can make things much easier. We can plan interior photographs, staff portraits, product imagery and the details you want customers to see, with as little disruption to your normal business as possible.
Yes. I cover conferences, awards evenings, business launches, networking events and other corporate occasions. Share your running order and any important photographs you need, such as speakers, presentations, groups or sponsors, and we’ll plan the coverage around the event.
Yes. I can create product images for eCommerce websites, catalogues and marketing, including clean packshots and more creative lifestyle imagery. We can discuss how many products you have, the backgrounds you prefer and whether the photography is best done in the studio or at your premises.
That depends on the exact location and what you’re trying to capture. Built-up areas require careful assessment of airspace restrictions, people, permissions and flight safety. If you send me the address and project details, I can assess whether a suitable drone flight is possible.
It depends on the type of portraits and background we’re aiming for. A meeting room or another clear indoor area may be suitable for a straightforward headshot setup. I’ll discuss the space available before the session and advise if a different location would work better.
Yes. If you have different offices, premises or working environments, we can organise a shoot that covers multiple locations. We’ll plan the route, schedule and photographs needed at each site to make the best use of the time available.
The timescale depends on the number of images and the editing involved. I’ll confirm the expected turnaround before your shoot, particularly if you have a website launch, press deadline or upcoming campaign. Finished photographs are professionally edited and delivered through an online gallery.
