Headshots Across Dorset
Dorchester
As Dorset's county town, Dorchester is home to Dorset Council headquarters and Dorset County Hospital, along with established legal firms, accountancy practices and professional services. I regularly photograph professionals across the town centre and surrounding business parks.
The town also serves as a hub for agricultural and rural businesses across west Dorset, from farm managers to estate agents and veterinary professionals.
Weymouth and Portland
Portland Port handles cruise ships, commercial cargo and naval vessels, with teams across operations, logistics and administration. Weymouth's tourism and hospitality sector is one of the largest on the Jurassic Coast, and the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy brings international sporting professionals to the area.
I also cover Portland's growing creative and tech community, plus defence-related businesses around the harbour.
Christchurch
BAE Systems has a significant presence in Christchurch, with aerospace engineering and defence roles requiring professional headshots that project technical credibility. The town's professional services sector covers solicitors, financial advisors and healthcare practitioners across the Christchurch business district and Somerford.
Wimborne
Wimborne and the surrounding area is home to business parks along the A31 corridor, with companies ranging from tech firms to distribution centres. Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions and other engineering businesses operate in the wider Wimborne area, alongside independent professional services, schools and healthcare providers.

Ben Rahmani, Bournemouth
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I had a great experience with ProHeadshots UK! Peter made the whole process super easy and relaxed. I'm not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but he helped me feel confident and natural. The results are fantastic, and the headshot guide was a really nice touch for updating my online profiles. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional, approachable photographer who really knows how to bring out your best."
Ella Bowman
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was initially very reluctant to get my headshot done, and too busy in the lead-up to give my appearance more than an uncomfortable and fleeting thought. I'm not quite sure how he managed it, but Peter put us all at ease, and worked with us to create some best-case-scenario shots that everyone on the team I believe is pleasantly surprised by, based on some early samples. He got to know the fabric of the business: what we're looking to covey and what outputs would be the most useful for us. Paired with his evident capability and experience – and the tricks he taught us to improve our results – I couldn't imagine a better person for the job."
Wendy Baird

Dorset Headshot Photography FAQ
Got questions? Here are the ones I hear most from Dorset clients.
If yours isn't here, just drop me a message.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Yes. I bring my full studio setup to your workplace anywhere in the county. From Bournemouth and Poole through to Dorchester, Weymouth, Christchurch, Wimborne and everywhere in between. I also cover Sherborne, Blandford Forum, Wareham and Swanage.
I'm really camera-shy. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. Most of my clients feel the same way before we start. I'll guide you through the session with expression coaching so you feel relaxed, and you'll see the images as we go. Most Dorset clients are surprised at how much they enjoy the experience.
Can you work in a small office?
Absolutely. I bring a compact, professional lighting setup that fits most meeting rooms. Whether you're in a harbour-side office in Poole or a town centre practice in Dorchester, I'll make it work.
How long does a session take?
I set aside about an hour to an hour and a half. That gives you time to settle in, change clothes if you'd like, and look through your photos as I shoot. There's no stopwatch running. I find people look their best when they don't feel hurried.
How quickly will I receive my headshots?
Your professionally retouched images will be delivered within 2 working days through a secure online gallery. Each image comes optimised for LinkedIn, your website, and any other platforms you use.
What should I wear for my headshots?
Once you book, you'll receive my style guide with recommendations tailored to your profession. The key is choosing outfits that make you feel confident. Bring a couple of options and I'll help you choose what photographs best during your session.
Do you offer corporate team photography across Dorset?
Yes. I provide team photography services right across the county. Whether you need consistent headshots for your finance team in Bournemouth, your marine operations staff in Poole, or your council department in Dorchester, I make sure everyone receives the same quality and attention whilst keeping their individual personality.
Let's Get You Sorted
If you'd like to book a session or have a quick question, I'm here. Most clients are in front of the camera within a week of getting in touch.
Need consistent headshots for your team? I bring the studio to your Dorset office and photograph everyone individually with the same lighting and coaching.
Your team gets polished, consistent portraits ready for LinkedIn, your website, and company communications within two working days.
If you need more than a single headshot, my personal branding photography sessions in Dorset give you a library of images showing your expertise in action.
I'll photograph you in multiple settings so you have images that tell your story across every platform.
