Specialist portrait studio in Christchurch, GB. Rakib Rax crafts relaxed, professional portraits and business headshots—studio or on-location—with full pro lighting and natural direction.
I’m Rakib Rax — a portrait specialist based in Christchurch, GB — and my focus is simple: create portraits you’ll love that genuinely reflect who you are. Portrait photography is my core expertise. Whether you want a timeless family portrait, a soulful individual portrait, or a sharp professional headshot for LinkedIn and business profiles, I bring the same attention to light, mood and personality to every shoot. My approach is relaxed and conversational. I believe the best portraits come when people feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. In my home-based studio I use professional studio lights, backdrops and full-frame cameras to control light and produce polished, print-quality images. If you prefer an outdoor or workplace location, I’ll bring portable lights and pop-up studio gear so we can capture you in the environment that suits your story. For business clients I specialise in corporate headshots and professional portrait sessions that help people and teams present confidently online and in marketing materials. I work on-location at offices or set up privacy-friendly pop-up studios so staff can be photographed with minimal disruption. My goal is to deliver headshots that are clean, approachable and aligned with your brand — not stiff or generic. I’ll guide you on wardrobe, pose and expression so each image works across websites, social media and professional networks. I also offer creative portrait options, from intimate family sessions to our popular Box Photography concept that produces playful, high-resolution images with fun props and carefully crafted layouts. Every session includes thoughtful direction, on-camera guidance and professional editing so your final images are ready to share and print. How I work: we start with a short conversation about style and purpose, pick a time and place that suits you, and I bring all necessary equipment. On the day I’ll keep things calm and efficient — giving gentle direction, capturing candid moments and refining poses until we get the images that matter. After the shoot I provide carefully edited, high-resolution files via secure digital delivery. If you’re looking for a Christchurch portrait photographer who combines technical skill, a friendly manner and true focus on personality, let’s talk. I’d love to discuss how we can create portraits that feel authentic and professional.
