I have worked with John on a number of occasions and he really made me feel at ease. He has a great sense of humour and I feel very lucky that we got some amazing shots. He really helped bring out my confidence and will always be grateful for that. Would highly recommend
I visited John at his Horwich studio for some headshots for promotional use. John is a professional but the process is very relaxed and informal he knows how to guide the entire process from where to stand how to position the lights and how to get a smile at the right moment. He also talked me through the software he uses to process& edit the photos afterwards. I was really happy with the results and surprised how quickly I received the finished photos.
I recently had both Cool Stool and Headshots photo sessions with John Bentley and genuinely loved the experience. John is honest, dedicated, and a lot of fun to work with — a true professional who clearly cares about his craft and the people he photographs.
From the moment you step into a session, John focuses on making you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease, which makes a huge difference to the final photos. He has just the right mix of easygoing banter and professionalism, so the session feels natural rather than forced.
What really stands out is John’s commitment to open, honest communication — something that feels increasingly rare in the photography world. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. If you want photos that genuinely stand out and feel like you, John is the person to contact!
John is a great photographer, easy to chat to and made me feel at ease
Thank you. I had a real laugh with John which helped make me feel comfortable and get some great pictures.
John was great at putting you at ease, working on how you wanted to look and adjusting you to the best pose to get the most out of your headshot. I would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Hi Pam, Thank you for the kind words. Chuffed that I could make the session comfortable and get you looking your best. I appreciate the recommendation, and so will others when it comes to them looking for a professional headshot.
With Gratitude, JohnB
I went in worried I wouldn’t look relaxed, but John put me at ease straight away. The whole experience lifted my confidence, and the final images — with the moody background and beautiful lighting — completely bowled me over. I’d tell any friend who’s nervous that John’s cheerful, professional approach brings out the best in you.

Hi Julia, Thank you for the generous comment. I'm glad the session settled the nerves and gave you the confidence boost you deserved.
The lighting and background only work when the person in front of the lens shows up, and you did. Fully appreciate you taking the time to leave me a recommendation.
Getting the right photographer to bring out the best in you really does come down to trust. And, having turned to John for headshots and other portrait styles over recent years, I trust him completely to deliver brilliant results…consistently. Give it a go - you’ll enjoy the experience and the results.

Well thank you very much Chris.
Always a pleasure photographing you. We always seem to have good Craic throughout the session.
Hope to see you again in 2026
Look after yourself.

I went in expecting a clinical, awkward headshot session, but what I got was the exact opposite. From the moment I walked in, John was welcoming, friendly, and instantly put me at ease.
What was supposed to be a quick 30-minute shoot turned into a relaxed conversation of around 60 minutes, that happened to involve a camera.
John’s coaching style is spot-on. He knows how to guide you with small, natural adjustments that make a huge difference. It never once felt forced or staged, just easy and comfortable.
The whole process, from booking to choosing my images, was first class. Simple, modern, and stress-free. The final images are exactly what I needed: confident, approachable, and genuinely me on a good day.
If you’re nervous about getting your headshot done, don’t be. Just show up, trust John, and let him work his magic.
You’ll walk away with photos you’re proud to share, and most probably a boost of confidence too.

Thank you John. Much appreciated, and I also had a great interesting conversation with yourself, and learned about your business.
Thank you once again for choosing Bentley Headshots, and leaving me the genuine feedback about my process and systems.
