Where in Glasgow do you take the photos?

I can come to your office in the city centre, use an outdoor urban location such as the Merchant City for an editorial feel, or set up a mobile studio at your premises. If you prefer a traditional studio environment, I can arrange for a space in the West End or Southside depending on availability and your specific requirements for the shoot.

What should I wear for my headshot?

Consistency is key. Wear something that honestly reflects your daily professional attire but ensures you feel comfortable. Solid colours work best as patterns can be distracting. I recommend bringing an alternative jacket or top to provide two distinct looks within the same session. Avoid overly bright neon colours which can cast unflattering tones on the skin under professional lighting.

How long does a session take?

A standard individual session typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes. This allows enough time for lighting adjustments and a change of outfit without being rushed. For corporate teams, I can work to a tighter schedule, often shooting 4-5 people per hour to minimise disruption to the working day while still maintaining a high standard of output for every individual.

How many images do I receive?

For a standard session, you will choose three final images from a wider gallery of options. These three selections are then fully retouched and provided in multiple crops. If you require more images for different platforms, additional retouched files can be purchased at a flat rate. Total transparency on deliverables is provided before the booking is confirmed.

Do you offer group discounts for larger Glasgow firms?

Yes. While individual sessions start from £195, I provide daily and half-day rates for larger teams at Glasgow offices. This is the most cost-effective way to ensure all staff headshots are stylistically consistent across your website and company directories. I provide a specific quote based on the number of people and the depth of the brief required.

Glasgow Headshot Photographer

Ross Nixon Photography provides editorial business headshots and professional portraits across Glasgow. Direct, high-quality imagery for LinkedIn and corporate branding starting from £195.

First impressions in Glasgow business circles are often digital. Whether setting up a LinkedIn profile or updating an actor's portfolio, the quality of a headshot dictates how peers and clients perceive professional competence. As an editorial photographer, I move away from the dated, stiff corporate portraiture of the past. My approach focuses on clean lighting, sharp composition and authentic expressions that reflect your actual personality rather than a forced pose. I work with individual freelancers, established legal firms and creative agencies across the city to deliver images that look modern and authoritative. By choosing a specialist who understands both technical lighting and human interaction, you ensure your professional image matches the standard of work you produce daily.

From £195

What's included

Every headshot session is designed to provide a versatile range of assets for your professional use. Each booking includes a pre-shoot consultation via email or phone to discuss the intended tone, clothing choices and whether we are shooting for a corporate website or a more relaxed social media presence. Sessions are efficient, respecting your working day. I provide a private online gallery within 48 hours containing all successful frames from the shoot for you to review. Once you have made your selection, the final images undergo professional retouching to remove temporary blemishes and balance skin tones while maintaining a natural look. These are delivered in high-resolution for print and web-ready formats for instant digital use. Unlike high-volume studios, I focus on the specific needs of the individual, ensuring the final portraits fit the specific aesthetic required for your industry or brand guidelines. Full commercial usage rights are included as standard, so you can use the imagery across your website, internal communications, press releases and social platforms without recurring licensing fees.

How it works

The process is straightforward. We start by selecting a location that suits your brand, whether that is a city centre office or an industrial backstreet for a more textured look. On the day, I set up the necessary lighting equipment and guide you through various angles and expressions. I do not expect you to be a model; my job is to provide clear direction to ensure you look composed and confident. We view the images as we go on a tethered screen where possible, ensuring we have exactly what is needed before finishing. Post-shoot, you receive a selection link. You choose your favourites, and I perform the final edits. Delivery of the finished work is handled via a secure download link. The entire workflow is built for busy Glasgow professionals who need high-end results without unnecessary downtime or complicated back-and-forth communication.

Local detail

Glasgow offers a diverse architectural backdrop that serves headshot photography better than any standard studio. For corporate clients in the International Financial Services District around Blythswood Square, I often use the clean lines of modern glass buildings or the traditional sandstone of the historic offices to ground the portraits in a specific location. If your brand requires a more creative or tech-orientated feel, the Merchant City provides excellent textures with its red brick and converted warehouse aesthetics. I frequently work near the Mitchell Library or around the Clyde at Pacific Quay for more open, airy portraits. My equipment is fully portable, allowing me to set up a mobile studio at your place of work in Finnieston or the West End, saving your team from traveling. This familiarity with Glasgow's lighting conditions and gridiron street layout means I can find the best spot for an outdoor shoot even if the weather is typically overcast, ensuring we get the professional quality you expect regardless of the external conditions.
