Promotional photography that helps people remember you

Promotional photographer Chris Conway

When your image is part of what you are promoting, a generic portrait is rarely enough. You need photographs that capture your personality, support your professional identity and give people a reason to take notice.

Chris Conway creates distinctive promotional photography for actors, authors, musicians, DJs, performers, presenters, creatives and other public-facing professionals. Every shoot is developed around who you are, what you do and how you want to be seen.

Photography backed by 20 years of professional experience

Chris has worked as a professional photographer for 20 years, with experience spanning international publications, fashion, commercial photography, creative portraiture and studio lighting. He also brings 30 years of Photoshop experience, ensuring every final image is polished to the highest standard.

That experience allows Chris to create everything from clean, natural headshots to bold and highly creative promotional campaigns. He can guide you through posing and expression, help you feel confident in front of the camera and recognise the moments that genuinely represent you.

You do not need to arrive with a complete concept or feel completely comfortable being photographed. Chris can help develop your ideas, suggest an approach that suits your personality and guide you throughout the entire shoot.

Promotional photography tailored to you

An actor looking for new casting photographs needs something very different from an author promoting a book or a DJ advertising a nightclub appearance. Chris begins by understanding your work, your audience and what the images need to communicate.

Promotional shoots can be created for:

  • Actor headshots and casting profiles
  • Author portraits, book jackets and press photographs
  • Musician and band press shots
  • Album and single covers or supporting artwork
  • DJ photography for nightclub posters and event promotion
  • Performers, presenters and public speakers
  • Artists, creatives and personal brands
  • Websites, social media, interviews and press releases

The finished style might be clean and understated, bold and colourful, cinematic, character-driven or completely unconventional. The aim is to create photography that feels right for you rather than forcing every client into the same familiar look.

Studio, location and full creative support

Shoots can take place at Trident Studio in Plymouth or at a suitable location elsewhere in the UK or internationally. The studio offers an extensive range of professional lighting, backgrounds and creative equipment, while location work can add atmosphere, context and personality.

Where required, Chris can also help arrange locations, hair and make-up artists, wardrobe stylists and other creative professionals. Whether you already have a clear idea or need help building one from the beginning, the complete shoot can be planned around you.

Images created with purpose

Chris's background in photography and graphic design means he understands how promotional images need to work across posters, press features, websites, cover artwork and social media. The shoot can be planned with those uses in mind, giving you a versatile collection of images rather than a set of photographs that only work in one place.

Every selected photograph is carefully edited and professionally retouched. The final images are supplied ready to use, with the attention to detail and high-quality finish expected from someone with decades of creative experience.

Promotional photography pricing

Every promotional shoot is different, so pricing is provided individually. The cost will depend on the length and complexity of the shoot, location, number of finished images and whether additional creatives are required.

Tell Chris what you are promoting, how you would like to be seen and where the photographs will be used. He can help shape the idea and provide a tailored quotation for the complete shoot.
