Hello, I am Chris, a creative and editorial Portrait Photographer in south Manchester

Hello, I’m Christopher Doyle, a UK-based professional photographer specialising in creative portrait photography.

My background as a former art director plays a central role in the way I approach portraiture. With years of experience in visual storytelling, design and composition, I bring a strong creative eye and a clear understanding of how images are used across marketing, editorial and digital platforms. This allows me to create portraits that are not only visually striking, but purposeful, polished and carefully considered.

I specialise in producing stylised, cinematic portraits that are well-lit, vibrant and professionally retouched, with a strong emphasis on character, atmosphere and quality. Whether the brief calls for creative studio photographs or environmental portraits on location, my aim is always to deliver images that feel authentic, confident and visually engaging.

I am based at my own studio at my home in South Manchester but also travel all over the UK and I am happy to shoot at a location of your choice.
