Public Relations Photoshoot for Wilsons Republic – Huddersfield

When Wilsons Republic asked me to capture a series of PR portraits in Huddersfield, I knew it wasn’t going to be your standard headshot session, and that’s exactly how I like it. This project was all about photographing real creatives, the kind of people who hate having their picture taken.

My job? To put them at ease, have a laugh, and capture the honest, unpolished energy that makes them who they are. No stiff poses, no cheesy smiles, just real moments with brilliant people.

These images are now part of Wilsons Republic’s ongoing mission to spotlight the creative voices of West Yorkshire — and I’m proud to be a part of it.

Even photographers need to step in front of the camera sometimes. This brand shoot was a chance to turn the lens around and tell my own story. As a documentary-style photographer, I'm usually focused on capturing others—authentic, unstaged, real moments. But this time, I let the camera reveal me.

From behind-the-scenes setups to relaxed, natural portraits, this shoot reflects what I value most in my work: personality, honesty, and connection. It’s a reminder to creative business owners—your face is your brand. If you're not showing up, you're missing out.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Deborah Ogden in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire for a mini brand shoot. Despite the short session, we packed in a range of looks and set-ups—balancing professionalism with personality. The shoot was relaxed, informal and fun, capturing Deborah’s energy and confidence while creating versatile content for her brand.
Lots of fun and some great pictures.
