Rebecca Douglas Photography

I’m Rebecca — a Broadstairs-based portrait photographer who specialises in purpose-led business and nature-connected personal branding. My practice sits at the intersection of portraiture and storytelling: I create professional headshots and business portraits that are studio-quality in feeling, yet alive with the wild edge of place. If your work is about people, planet and curiosity, I’m here to translate that into images that feel true. Why choose me? Because I bring a storyteller’s eye to professional portraiture. My work is shaped by a long-lived connection with landscapes, conservation and documentary practice, which means your portraits will carry atmosphere, context and intent — not just a smile. Clients choose me when they want business imagery that communicates values and character: trustworthy LinkedIn photos, confident leadership portraits and personal-brand imagery that honours both personality and purpose. My approach is collaborative and gentle. We begin with a conversation — to understand the story you want to tell, the audience you’re calling to, and the feeling you wish to evoke. On the day, I create an atmosphere of calm curiosity so people relax and reveal themselves. I favour co-creation over posed rigidity: small prompts, natural movement and attention to light and place let authentic moments emerge. The shoots are informed by my nature-led methodology — we tune into environment, season and mood so the images feel rooted and meaningful. Although portraiture is my specialism, my wider practice in nature photography and visual storytelling (including experience with short-form video and aerial perspectives) quietly informs my work. That blend gives portraits a considered, cinematic quality while keeping them perfectly suited for business use — from LinkedIn headshots to leadership imagery and brand storytelling across web and social. I’ve been honoured to have editorial features and recognition that speak to the integrity of this work. If you want portraits that enchant, empower and enact change — images that invite curiosity and connection — let’s have a chat. I’d love to hear your story and explore how we can create portraits that feel like you, and like what you’re standing for.
