Lance Burkitt Photographer
Ayup! I’m Lance — a proud Yorkshireman, born & Bred and based In Yorkshire; Professionally I am a people photographer with a deep love for editorial, fashion, hair & beauty and portrait photography.
With a studio in Yorkshire and the freedom to travel wherever the light calls, I’m passionate about capturing real people in real moments.
Growing up in the North during the social turbulence of the miners’ strike and Thatcher’s Britain, I learned early on that every face tells a story. Fast forward to today, and that storytelling spirit is at the heart of my work. Whether I’m photographing in-studio or on location, I draw out genuine emotion, character, and connection. No forced smiles—just authenticity.
My journey has been a beautiful blend of practice and sharing. I never say no to a creative challenge, and over the years I’ve poured that passion into teaching. I run workshops and mentor emerging talents, believing that great photography always grows when knowledge is passed on. Being both a practitioner and an educator keeps my own eye sharp and my approach fresh.
In portraiture, I thrive on collaboration. I work with individuals, creatives, and brands to build relaxed, engaging photo sessions that reflect their true selves. From a single headshot to a full editorial spread, my goal is simple: bring out your best self — confidently, comfortably and creatively.
Editorial, Fashion, Hair and beauty have taught me the power of detail—fine lighting, texture, tone. But it’s the human spark behind every shot that makes the image resonate. This balance of artistry and authenticity is what fuels my creative fire.
I was born ready to create.
When I’m not supposed to be behind the camera, you’ll often find me traveling around the world relaxing, but still with camera in hand, photographing the world around me.
