# Martin Bamford Photography
Martin Bamford is a portrait photographer based in Cranleigh, serving professionals across Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire who understand that their headshot is their first impression. He specialises in creating confident, authentic portraits for founders, consultants, creatives, and business owners—people who care about how they present themselves visually.
What sets Martin apart is his background. Before transitioning to photography, he spent nearly two decades as a Chartered Financial Planner and media spokesman, so he intimately understands the connection between credibility, trust, and visibility. This experience directly shapes how he works with clients: he guides them through the session with clear direction and tiny adjustments, capturing relaxed, natural expressions rather than stiff poses or awkward smiles.
His approach is fundamentally different from standard headshot photography. Martin creates photos his clients feel genuinely proud to use—across websites, social profiles, press releases, speaker bios, and marketing materials. He believes that how you show up visually has a direct impact on the opportunities that come your way.
Beyond his studio work, Martin is actively involved in his local community, leading a countryside charity and serving as a parkrun Event Director. This connection to people and place informs his philosophy: that portrait photography is about capturing not just how someone looks, but how they truly are.
