The Cranleigh Portrait Photographer

I’m Martin Bamford, a portrait photographer based in the scenic Surrey Hills.

Before photography, I spent twenty years as a Chartered Financial Planner and media spokesperson. Then the pandemic came along and I made a big change, swapping spreadsheets for portraits.

Now I focus on creative headshots and portrait photography, working on location in and around Cranleigh, Surrey. That could be your home, your office, or somewhere local that fits the look you want.

My style is natural and people-focused. I care about real connection and honest emotion. I want your photos to feel like you, not some version you think you’re supposed to be.

I shoot headshots, commercial portraits, lifestyle, editorial and creative work. If you’ve got an idea, I’d love to hear it and help bring it to life.

I help people see themselves clearly, whether they’re launching something new, reconnecting with who they are, or leaving a legacy behind. Through thoughtful, natural portraits set in meaningful places, I capture quiet confidence and real emotion.
