Executive & Business Portraits on Location
Showcase your business with professional executive portraits at your workplace or a location that suits you.
Whether you need approachable website portraits, LinkedIn headshots or personal branding photography, I create natural, confident images that reflect both your personality and your profession.
Using portable studio lighting, I can create studio-quality portraits almost anywhere. I regularly photograph company directors, business owners, professionals and teams at workplaces and locations throughout Worcestershire and the surrounding counties.
With over 35 years of experience, I help even the most camera-shy clients feel relaxed and confident throughout the session.
What Should I Wear for My Portrait Session?
Wear clothing that feels comfortable and reflects your personality. Soft, neutral colours usually photograph well, while large logos and busy patterns can distract from your face.
For family portraits, coordinating colours rather than matching outfits creates a more natural, timeless look.
How Long Does a Portrait Session Last?
Most portrait sessions last around an hour, giving us time for different backgrounds, poses and expressions without feeling rushed. The best photographs happen when you're relaxed, so sessions always move at a comfortable pace.
Can I Bring Family Along?
Absolutely. Whether you'd like portraits with your partner, children or even the family dog, everyone is welcome. Many clients combine individual portraits with family photographs during the same session.
I Don't Like Having My Photo Taken – Can You Help?
You're not alone—most people tell me exactly the same thing before their session.
My approach is relaxed and informal, with gentle guidance rather than awkward posing. Within a few minutes most people forget about the camera, allowing natural expressions and genuine smiles to appear.
You don't need any experience—helping people feel comfortable is a big part of my job.

I found myself really enjoying my photo session with Lawrence because he made it fun and we had a good laugh as he took the photographs. But he is also a very experienced and efficient photographer so there was no time wasted as he lined up all the different shots. I was absolutely delighted with the results too and I would definitely go to him again"

Testimonials

Lawrence was very accommodating as i mucked him around a little bit timing wise due to unforeseen circumstances, he was a pleasure to work with and made the experience pleasant and easy and his shots were just what i needed and wanted. Very happy to recommend.

I would strongly recommend Mr. White to anyone looking for a photographer who can tailor an experience to meet their needs! It was clear from our first correspondence that producing a set of quality headshots was just as important to him as it was to me.
I was fortunate to be able to book on short notice with Mr. White (I was in the area from abroad). I needed a set of headshots and he was very accommodating. He took care to evaluate my needs and talk through the process, and the level of professionalism was very reassuring, as I’d never had headshots done before. I especially appreciated his promptness in corresponding over details before and after our shoot.
I was very comfortable throughout the shoot. Mr. White is calm and friendly, which reduced my nerves about having my photo taken (I usually HATE being photographed!). It was a relaxed experience, and I’d recommend asking him about his career and other people he’s worked with. I feel lucky to have been able to work with someone so experienced. That being said, I am SO happy with the finished product! The shots were very high quality. Mr. White had the link for digital access to my headshots available quickly as well, so I was able to use them for my purposes without any issue. Accessing them was very straightforward, no digital nonsense.
I don’t usually leave reviews but I wanted to say it was great to work with someone who knows how to take the stress out of the experience for someone who hates having their photo taken. It just felt like all I had to do was show up and let him know which shots I liked best. If you are looking for a professional, experienced photographer who is committed to producing high quality finished products, The Malvern Photographer is a wonderful choice to contact!

My portrait photography session was excellent from beginning to end. I was made to feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. The Malvern portrait photographer was professional, friendly and really understood how to capture natural, confident images.
The final portraits were absolutely superb and are now being used across my business website. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the images and would highly recommend this portrait photographer to anyone looking for professional headshots or beautiful personal branding photography.
