Jane Allan Photography

I specialise in portrait photography from my Eastbourne base, creating professional, honest and beautifully lit images that show people as they want to be seen. Portraits are my main focus — from timeless studio portraits to clean, confident business headshots and LinkedIn photos — and my aim is always the same: to make the process easy and the results exceptional. Why choose me? Because I approach portrait work as a human-first craft. My sessions are relaxed and conversational so that you feel at ease, even if you don’t enjoy being in front of a camera. I’ve developed lighting and posing techniques that flatter real people — not a one-size-fits-all formula — so your portraits look natural, composed and memorably professional. I pay attention to the details that matter: posture, eye contact, and the small adjustments that turn a good photo into a great one. What makes my approach special is a combination of technical skill and personal attention. In the studio I use controlled light to sculpt features and produce crisp, polished results for headshots and portraits. I guide you through flattering poses and expressions, keeping things simple and effective. For business portraits I focus on clarity, approachability and a modern aesthetic that works online and in print — ideal for LinkedIn profiles, about pages and brand use. How we work together: we start with a friendly planning conversation so I understand your goals — corporate, creative or personal. I’ll offer practical guidance on wardrobe and presence, then on the day I create a calm, focused session designed to capture a range of looks. After the shoot I carefully edit and retouch each chosen image so the final portraits are refined yet authentic. Based in Eastbourne and serving clients across the UK, I place portrait photography at the heart of everything I do. If you want professional headshots or a studio portrait session that feels easy, confident and true to you, let’s plan a shoot and create images you’ll be proud to show.
