Business Details
Professional Photographer in Ledbury | Paul Ligas
I am a professional photographer based in Ledbury, Herefordshire, with decades of experience in commercial photography and photographic art. My journey began in Ontario, Canada, where I developed a passion for visual storytelling through a camera lens. My sister, an artist and art teacher, taught me to see the world through an artist's eyes, which has profoundly influenced my photographic style. I specialise in creating warm, authentic imagery for values-driven businesses, including property, food, portrait, event, and product photography. My clients range from local businesses like Westons Cider and Haygrove Limited to national organisations such as the British Heart Foundation.

I prioritise sustainability and community engagement, believing photography should enhance the natural environment and celebrate multiculturalism. My work combines technical precision with creative vision, ensuring every image tells a compelling story. I offer tailored services including on-site photo shoots, post-processing, and flexible licensing options. My DBS-checked status and decades of experience ensure reliability and professionalism. I provide ongoing support, including re-delivery of lost files, and deliver photographs in screen-ready or print-ready formats. My goal is to help businesses stand out through high-quality, meaningful photography.

Paul visited our business to take photos for our new website, he was extremely professional through the whole process from the initial enquiry through to taking the photos and editing them. We were delighted with the outcome and found him to be very good value. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services. Thanks

Working with Paul on my website photos was 100% positive experience. Paul is clearly very talented, professional photographer and I couldn't be happier with the choice I made. His friendly approach will soon make you feel natural in front of the camera and the results are great. Can only recommend.

I was gifted a 2 hour tutorial with Paul for my birthday, having recently got into food photography. The session was exactly what I was looking for and Paul pitched it just right. I had done a fair bit of research into general photography but the session with Paul was just what I needed. His knowledge coupled with his ability and willingness to communicate it meant I went away feeling I had learnt things that I could apply to my own photography straight away rather than some theoretical musings full of jargon. Paul's own work is incredibly beautiful and his willingness and ability to share the years of knowledge he has acquired meant I now not only know a lot more than I did but have the motivation to go and put it into practice. Book a session. You won't regret it.

Paul captured the essence of Christmas with my Soft Christmas Tinsel. It was just what I needed to promote my goods. He was thoughtful, and gave some useful suggestions as to how we could display the Tinsel. Thankyou.
Ledbury Poetry Festival
Dec 27, 2018 Report
Paul worked as "Official Festival Photographer" for the 2018 Ledbury Poetry Festival. He worked sensitively and professionally with a huge range of poets, celebrities and performers seen at the Festival, and created a portfolio of pictures we've so far never managed to achieve. He managed to get those hard-to-capture moments when the audience gets lit up, or the poet engages with a fan - these moments have eluded other photographers. Paul also has a great community spirit - we can't recommend him highly enough!

Gave Paul a fun challenge to show different sides to employees of a business - in work and out of work. He was professional and engaging and really got the best out of all the people, creating some wonderful shots for use online and for publicity material. Would highly recommend. So great to work with great people.

When we were first starting out a few years ago, we asked Paul to create some marketing images for our bespoke eco friendly furniture business. He was very creative, with great ideas for images. They were very high quality and we still use them all the time for our website, Flyers and Facebook. We definitely recommend his photography service.
Yeoman Sw Ltd
Jan 31, 2018 Report
As a heating firm we have always struggled to visually portray our work in a way that does not appear dull, boring or 'geeky' to anyone who is not in our trade. Paul's approach was completely different to ours - I take my hat off to anyone who can make a Hot Water Cylinder or Radiator the focal piece of a beautifully shot portrait. We were really pleased with the results of this first commission and quickly invited Paul to a second project we had completed. Paul's presentation skills were fundamental in the appearance of our new online presence. I would highly recommend the services of Paul Ligas without hesitation.

Paul created some beautiful photos and fresh perspectives for my stable conversion which has attracted interest and holiday bookings from people new to Herefordshire. I am planning further seasonal photos too. Paul is great to work with and very responsive to what I need as well as using his own interpretation.

Paul takes incredible photos - and that of course is most important. I'm so happy with the photos he has taken and the feedback I've had from our guests has been amazing (our website designer who works with a lot of photos said they were the best he's worked with). Not only are the photos great but Paul is great to work with - he has a lovely calm personality - especially important in a busy changing environment - Paul is not phased he just gets on with the job. Always arrives early for a job and his communication is clear so you always know where you stand. I highly recommend.
