I am Steve Lowrey, a professional photographer based at Leigh Photography Studio in Greater Manchester and the photographer behind Headshots Manchester.
Its my job to make you look great in front of the camera even if its something you hate doing!
My approach is relaxed, friendly and designed to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if they normally hate having their photo taken.
If the thought of having professional photos taken makes you nervous, you are not alone. Most of the people I photograph are not professional models. They are business owners, actors, performers, musicians, dancers, corporate professionals and everyday people who simply need strong, professional images that represent them properly.
That is where experience matters.
Over the years I have photographed people from many different industries and backgrounds, creating everything from corporate headshots and personal branding sessions to actor headshots, model portfolios, publicity photography and commercial imagery.
Before photography became my full-time profession, I spent more than 25 years working in the entertainment industry as an entertainment agent and promoter, alongside over 20 years as a DJ. That background gave me a strong understanding of publicity, promotion and personal presentation long before social media and personal branding became part of everyday business.
I understand that a professional image is not just about looking good. It is about creating the right impression. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn profile photo, approachable business branding images, casting headshots or promotional photography for your website and social media, the goal is always the same — helping you look confident, approachable and professional.
My studio work is designed to feel relaxed rather than intimidating. I guide clients throughout the session with simple direction and posing advice to create natural expressions and genuine confidence in front of the camera. Many clients arrive saying they feel awkward in front of the lens and leave surprised at how comfortable the experience actually was.
Sessions are available 7 days a week by appointment at my Greater Manchester studio, with evening appointments also available. I also offer on-location business and corporate photography across Manchester and surrounding areas.
Whether you need a simple professional headshot or a full personal branding session, the aim is always to create images that feel natural, professional and genuinely represent you.
Steve Lowrey professional photography is an investment in how people see you online, on social media, on your website and throughout your career. Good photography helps create trust before you even speak to somebody.
