Ashford portrait studio — Montserrat Rubio offers specialist professional portraits and business headshots. Bespoke, relaxed sessions delivering authentic, polished images for LinkedIn and brands.
I specialise in portrait photography from my Ashford studio, combining a commercial eye with a fine‑art sensibility to create professional portraits and business headshots that genuinely reflect who you are. As a published commercial and fine art photographer working across Kent and the South East, I bring years of experience photographing people for promotional, editorial and corporate use. Why choose me for your portrait or headshot? My approach is collaborative and calm. I aim to put clients at ease through gentle direction and conversation so that expressions feel natural rather than posed. Whether you need a crisp LinkedIn headshot, a set of professional portraits for team bios, or a polished promotional image, I focus on capturing an authentic presence — confident, approachable and appropriate for your brand. What makes my work different is the interplay between technical craft and a fine‑art background. Trained in photography with a long history of commercial commissions and published work, I apply careful composition, considered lighting and subtle tonal control to every portrait. My fine art practice — including work made on analogue formats — informs a restrained aesthetic that favours clarity, atmosphere and thoughtful framing over gimmickry. How I work: each session is bespoke. Before the shoot we discuss the intended use of the images, wardrobe and the tone you want to convey. In the studio I guide poses and expressions while adapting light and background to suit the brief. Post‑production focuses on natural retouching that keeps skin tones honest and preserves the character of each subject. For business clients I can prepare a suite of images tailored to social media, websites and printed materials. Based in Ashford, Kent, I provide professional portrait and headshot sessions for individuals, professionals and small teams across the region. My priority is delivering imagery that supports your professional presence — clear, considered and ready to use. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who combines commercial experience with an artful eye, get in touch and we’ll plan a bespoke session to meet your brief.
