Emily Thomson Photography

As a specialist portrait photographer based in Bexhill-on-Sea, Emily Thomson focuses exclusively on creating thoughtful, professional portraits that reflect each client's personality and purpose. Whether you need a studio portrait, a confident headshot for LinkedIn, or a professional image for business profiles, Emily’s approach is rooted in simplicity, connection and attention to detail. Why choose Emily Thomson Photography? Emily treats portraiture as a collaborative process. She prioritises putting people at ease — a relaxed, friendly session produces the most natural expressions and strongest images. In the studio she crafts clean, flattering lighting and uncluttered backgrounds so the focus stays firmly on you. The result is authentic, polished portraits that work across professional and personal uses. What makes the approach special is the combination of thoughtful direction and subtle finishing. Emily gives clear, encouraging posing guidance while allowing moments of spontaneity to shine through. After the shoot, professional editing and careful retouching are available to refine colour, tone and minor details without compromising the natural look of your portrait. Editing is presented as a supportive, secondary service that enhances the final image rather than defining it. How Emily works with clients is straightforward and client-centred. Sessions begin with a short conversation about your goals — the look you want, the platforms you’ll use the image for, and any practical needs. During the session Emily keeps the atmosphere calm and conversational, coaching poses and expressions to help you look both relaxed and confident. Post-shoot, she guides you through selection and any editing choices so the finished portraits match your brief. Emily’s work is ideal for professionals, creatives and anyone seeking a polished, honest portrait from a trusted local photographer in Bexhill-on-Sea. If you want studio portraits or professional headshots with a friendly, personalised experience and refined finishing, Emily Thomson Photography specialises in delivering images that represent you with clarity and confidence.
