Headshot Photography

What is Headshot Photography?

Headshot photography is another type of photography we excel at. Pretty much anyone you meet will say they hate having their photo taken. But at Danny Thompson Photography in Halifax, we will do our utmost to make you feel comfortable. Even if that means a quick nip of something stronger than a brew or telling a dad joke!

Quite often, your customers, potential customers or colleagues will want to put a face to a name, so it’s always good to have professional headshots. Use on your website, on your social media channels, perhaps even on your email signature. Headshots are the perfect way of giving your website or marketing materials a professional yet personal touch.

Headshot Photography in Halifax, West Yorkshire

All headshots are bespoke unless of course, you have a twin! We can source a particular background for your headshot; we can source a location, we can come to your workplace or simply use our expertly equipped studio here on Albion Street, Halifax.

To get the ball rolling on your commercial headshot photography journey, give us a tinkle or click here to send a quick email. Or, if you need an idea of costs, check out our subscriptions page. We’re Yorkshire, we’re very approachable, and we can work with you and your budget, but it’ll just give you a heads-up!

Headshot Done Properly

You’ve got seconds — not minutes — to make that all-important first impression. Whether someone’s checking out your LinkedIn, visiting your website, or eyeing your email signature, your headshot tells them everything they need to know about who you are and what you stand for.

So let’s make sure it’s saying the right things:
📸 Confident
📸 Professional
📸 Approachable
📸 Memorable

I’m Danny — a Yorkshire-based brand photographer specialising in capturing exactly that. No stiff poses. No awkward smiles. Just strategic, relaxed, and high-quality headshots that help you stand out and show up like the expert you are.

Headshots Tailored to You

We shoot where it makes sense for your brand:

In-Studio

Come to my cosy, professional studio in Yorkshire. It’s calm, comfortable, and always stocked with proper Yorkshire tea, rich coffee, and Harrogate water (only the best).

Outdoor Locations

Whether you’re after urban grit, natural light, or a countryside backdrop, we’ll find a setting that speaks your brand language.

On-Location

Want your office, favourite café, co-working space, or a meaningful indoor location? Done. We go where your story lives.

The Process — Simple, Streamlined & Supportive

We take the guesswork out of headshots.

01. Vision Planning

We’ll kick off with a simple email consult and a shared Pinterest board to get visual. We use this to develop the feel, tone, and style of your shoot — so you’re never left wondering how it’ll all come together.

02. Pre-Shoot Support

We’ll send over practical tips covering everything:

✅ What to wear
✅ Hair, nails & skin prep
✅ Style choices that build confidence
✅ What to bring & how to feel ready

03. Hair & Make-Up (Optional, but Fab)

Want to feel pampered before your session? We work with experienced hairdressers and make-up artists who’ll help you look and feel amazing. This isn’t vanity — it’s confidence, and it shows up in every frame.

04. The Shoot

We don’t rush. We don’t wing it.
We work from our organised vision board, so we’re always aligned. I’ll guide you through natural poses and expressions, helping you relax, feel confident, and actually enjoy the process (yep, even if you usually hate having your photo taken).

The Yorkshire Difference

We don’t do cookie-cutter. No “next please” conveyor belt photography here. Every client is treated with time, intention, and proper care.

This isn’t just a photo for LinkedIn. It’s a powerful visual tool designed to show your clients who you really are — someone professional, confident, and credible.

We’ll help you create a set of images that feel like you, but dialled-up — confident, approachable, and magnetic to your ideal customers.

👉 This isn’t just a shoot.
👉 It’s a strategic investment in your business.
👉 Not a cost — a growth tool.

We’re helping you attract better clients, charge your worth, and show up with pride.

And yes — we’ll still have a proper brew while we’re at it. Yorkshire tea (or coffee if you must), Harrogate water, and no faff.
