Portrait & Headshot Photography for charities and community groups

The community group is the subject; the headshots is the treatment; nothing else on set matters. Charity coverage has to produce funder-ready evidence and shareable social frames from the same afternoon, usually with no budget for a second visit — Liverpool Visuals runs pro-bono support for local causes through its In The Community programme.

Context

Community coverage has to earn its place twice.

What that looks like on the ground: 5–10 retouched headshots per sitter, delivered in colour and B&W. Evidence for funders and shareable frames from the same afternoon.
