Corporate, commercial, personal branding and event photographer in St Albans, Hertfordshire

I’m Mike Dick, a St Albans photographer. A good photo either tells people who you really are, or it doesn’t. I shoot corporate, commercial, personal branding and event photography across St Albans, Hertfordshire and London. Every shoot comes back to the same thing: capturing what’s actually true about you or your business, not just ticking a box.

What clients say…

“These are still the best corporate photos anyone’s taken of me!”

Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, I work with businesses and individuals across Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Hertford and London. Every shoot is planned around your brief, delivered on time, and designed to work across website, print and social from day one.

I bring a designer’s eye to every session – 20 years in graphic design means I think about how images will actually be used before I press the shutter. No fussing, no wasted time, no generic results.

 FAQs

  • Sessions vary depending on the brief, but I'm transparent about costs from the first conversation. Full pricing for corporate, personal branding, and events is on my services pages. Happy to talk through what would suit your brief, no obligation.

  • I'm based in St Albans and regularly work across Hertfordshire and London. I can come to your office or location, or I have access to studio space if needed.

  • A headshot session typically runs 1 to 2 hours. A half or full day is usually needed for events or larger commercial shoots. I'll give you a clear estimate once I know what you need.

  • Edited images are delivered within two to five working days, via a private online gallery. You choose your favourites, and I do the final retouching.

  • Yes. I've photographed teams of two people and teams of two hundred. I'll plan the session to minimise disruption to your day and make sure everyone looks the same standard, not just the directors.

Capturing your story, authentically.

Most people don’t enjoy having their photo taken. That’s fine, that’s exactly what I work with. My job is to make the whole thing feel easy, so what comes out the other end looks like you at your best, not a version of you performing for a camera.

I spent 17 years as the sole in-house photographer at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, shooting over 140 sessions a year across seven global markets. Before I pick up the camera, I think like a designer, because I need to know how these images will actually be used, whether that’s your website, a LinkedIn profile, a pitch deck, or a conference banner.

The result? Images that do a job. Clear, confident, and genuinely yours.
