A self-taken portrait of Gareth Welch, the lead photographer from Gareth Welch Photography.

Hello, I'm Gareth!

Professional Birmingham based Headshot Photographer

I’m Gareth Welch, a professional headshot photographer from Birmingham, England with 10+ years’ experience. Over that time I’ve photographed everyone from senior leaders, actors and dancers, to first-time clients who genuinely hate having their picture taken — and I get it. Most people don’t spend their days in front of a camera, so my job is to make the whole thing feel straightforward, relaxed, and (dare I say) enjoyable.


Whether you’re booking for yourself or arranging headshots for a whole team, you’ll find me easy to work with: friendly, professional, and organised. I’ll guide you through what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect, so you can show up knowing you’re in safe hands.

My approach

 

My approach is simple: make the whole experience easy — from first enquiry to final delivery — while producing photos you’ll be proud to use. Booking is straightforward, with clear pricing, simple online contracts, and helpful guidance before we shoot so you know exactly what to expect.


On the day, I’ll guide you naturally throughout — what to do with your hands, how to stand, where to look — so nothing feels stiff or overly “posed”. The goal is a polished, professional result that still looks like you on your best day.


After the session, you’ll receive a private online selection gallery within 1 business day (or, if you prefer, you can select your favourites on the day). Once you’ve chosen, your final edited images are delivered within 3 business days — ready for LinkedIn, websites, and marketing.


For individuals, that means a session tailored to your role and the impression you want to make, with a focused set of strong final images you’ll feel proud to use. For businesses, it means an efficient, well-managed setup that keeps things moving, helps each person feel comfortable quickly, and delivers a consistent look across the whole team — without disrupting the working day.
