Rory Asten Bell is a portrait specialist in Gillingham offering studio and on-location professional portraits, headshots and LinkedIn photos. A relaxed, authentic approach to get natural results.
I’m Rory Asten Bell — a portrait specialist with a clear focus: making portraits that feel honest, confident and distinctly you. Based in Gillingham, I specialise in portrait photography for individuals and businesses, from relaxed creative portraits to sharp professional headshots and LinkedIn photos. Portraits are my primary practice; every part of my work is tuned to bring out personality, presence and brief-driven results. What makes my approach different is a balance of craft and conversation. Years of photographing musicians and working live have taught me how to read a moment and create atmosphere quickly. In the studio or on location I aim to put people at ease — a short chat, a few simple directions and the freedom to be natural. That relaxed atmosphere produces more genuine expressions and images that work across portfolios, corporate profiles and creative projects. I offer portrait studio sessions tailored to your needs: professional headshot photography for business and LinkedIn use, corporate portraits that suit company branding, and editorial-style portraits for creatives and performers. I use thoughtful lighting, considered composition and an eye for detail to create images that translate well online and in print. The gallery on my site reflects a variety of looks — tonal, bold, black & white and environmental portraits — so you can see how I adapt style to suit each client. How I work: we start with a quick consultation to understand your brief and the image you want to project. On shoot day I create a supportive, low-pressure environment so you can relax and concentrate on looking natural. After the session I carefully edit and present a selection of polished images for you to choose from. For clients who also need event, wedding or video support, I can coordinate with those services, while keeping portrait work as the priority. If you’re in Gillingham or the surrounding area and want professional portraits that feel authentic and purposeful, get in touch. Whether you need business headshots, LinkedIn photos or a creative portrait session, I specialise in capturing personality with a calm, professional approach.
