ABOUT ME

SIMON RIDGWAY

Portrait Photographer

This is me, and yes, I did my own headshot!

I’ve been a full time professional photographer for a long time, and I’ve worked in all kinds of genres. I’ve done news photography, wedding photography, corporate photography, commercial photography, and I’m currently working extensively in film and television, with clients including Disney, Sky, HBO, Netflix, Lucasfilm and many others, shooting on-set production stills for publicity and marketing, as well as studio work for posters, some of which you can see below.

All along, the one thing I’ve always strived for in my work is authenticity. Even when I’m working on the set of a big budget fantasy TV show, I’m there to record what’s in front of me and represent the production in a truthful and realistic way.

As a headshot and portrait photographer I’m still striving for that authenticity. Your headshots should represent the real you. In a world where AI can create almost anything, and retouching can fix the rest, they should be images that people can trust.
