Jermaine Kelly Photography
A talented headshot photographer possesses a unique blend of technical skill and artistic vision. I have a keen eye for capturing a person's personality and essence, resulting in authentic and compelling portraits. I excel at creating a comfortable and relaxed environment during the session, establishing a connection with my clients, to help them feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which helps them feel at ease and in turn allows their true personality to shine through.
I have a genuine passion for my artistic craft, continuously striving to deliver exceptional portraits that make my clients feel empowered and confident and the final headshots I deliver are polished and professional, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
My Story
I’m a Nerd. There, I said it, I absolutely love tech! In fact, my whole career previously has revolved around Technology; Facilitation, Support and Management of.
My allegiances are firmly and loyally in the camps of Apple, Canon and Denon, enjoying both form AND function that result from creative, functional design.
I picked up a camera initially to document, realising that I had very few photos of my childhood. That led to some extraordinary trips to Africa photographing wildlife. I also felt drawn towards fashion-inspired portraiture, from which I discovered a real interest in the human face. So now, after a period of career transition, I am passionately involved in facial photography and emotional conveyance - in short, a Headshot Photographer, based in Bristol, UK.
My Happy Place
Outside of the studio, what gives me extreme amounts of joy is listening to the sounds of hippos, elephants and hyenas, carried across the warm African air and feeling that warmth on my skin as I observe and capture the natural world around me.
When I was much younger, back when everyone had a VHS video player and Blockbuster reigned supreme, my Mother and I would visit the video shop to seek out new David Attenborough wildlife documentaries. Now as an adult, each time I’m fortunate enough to enjoy the immersive experience of being out in the African wild, it evokes an immense sense of awe, gratitude and grounding!
