Tom Handbury Photography

Tom Handbury Photography specialises in family photography from a base in Bingley, Yorkshire. Tom positions himself as a family specialist — his work focuses on honest, documentary-led family portraits that feel lived-in and timeless. Rather than staged poses, he seeks the small, real moments: the laughter between siblings, the quiet exchange between parents, the everyday gestures that, when gathered together, form a family story worth keeping. Clients choose Tom because he combines a calm, conversational approach with a clear artistic eye. His sessions are designed to be relaxed and natural, helping even the most camera-shy family members settle into authentic behaviour. The result is a collection of images with emotional depth and compositional care — photographs that function both as meaningful memories and as crafted pieces of art for the home. How Tom works: every family project begins with a simple conversation to understand what matters most — whether you want playful outdoor portraits, intimate home sessions, or framed pieces to display. On the day he prefers to move gently through your routine, observing and guiding in a way that feels effortless. This documentary sensibility is balanced with a careful attention to light, tone and framing, ensuring each photograph reads beautifully as part of a cohesive body of work. Tom also values the tangible legacy of family photography. His aesthetic often extends into creating heirloom-quality prints and framed pieces that sit comfortably in family homes across Yorkshire. While family photography is his primary focus, his practice carries a portrait and art sensibility that informs how each image is made and presented. Based in Bingley and serving families across the area, Tom Handbury offers a considered, personal approach to capturing family life. If you want photographs that look and feel like your life — honest, carefully composed, and built to last — Tom specialises in creating that enduring, emotional record for your family.
