Corporate Portraits with Carson McDowell at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the team from Carson McDowell Solicitors, one of Northern Ireland’s leading law firms, at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast — a location that perfectly balances sophistication and creativity.

The Lyric, with its striking architecture and beautiful natural light, provided a stunning backdrop for the shoot. It’s one of those venues that allows you to play with texture, light, and space — ideal for capturing portraits that feel fresh, modern, and full of character.

For this session, the aim was to create a series of portraits that felt professional yet approachable — reflecting both the strength and personality of the Carson McDowell brand. I wanted each image to carry a sense of confidence and warmth while still maintaining that polished corporate feel.

Working within the theatre’s dynamic setting allowed me to use light creatively, balancing the ambient tones of the space with studio lighting to shape each portrait just right. The mix of architectural lines, deep textures, and subtle colour gave the images a cinematic quality that really stood out.

It’s always a privilege to collaborate with teams who value both professionalism and creativity. Carson McDowell’s openness to trying something a little different visually made this shoot such a success — and the results speak for themselves.

If your business or team is looking to refresh your corporate imagery with portraits that are both authentic and impactful, I’d love to help create something unique for you too.
