Master Photographer Rose Hendershot in Hastings captures timeless, authentic portraits — family, senior and event work. Relaxed studio and on-location sessions with thoughtful retouching.
Photographic Memory is Rose Hendershot’s portrait studio in Hastings, GB — where experience, care and a gentle eye combine to create portraits you will truly cherish. As a Master Photographer, Rose positions portraiture at the heart of her work: family sessions, senior portraits and event proofs are her primary focus. Her goal is simple — to capture authentic moments and the character of each person she photographs. Rose’s approach is collaborative and calm. She believes in building a relationship with clients so that everyone (even the camera‑shy) feels comfortable and natural in front of the lens. You’ll find a relaxed studio atmosphere and the option to shoot on location around Hastings when a setting will add to the story — from formal studio headshots to senior photos by McKeown Bridge. Rose often guides clients through pose selection during proof review, curates proof books, and completes careful retouching on the final images before delivery via Drop Box or other agreed methods. What sets Photographic Memory apart is the combination of technical skill and personal attention. Rose treats each session as a collaboration: she listens to what matters to you, suggests poses and backgrounds that fit your family or personal style, and then crafts images that feel genuine rather than staged. Her work with events — recital proofs, community occasions and graduation sessions — emphasises quick, consistent shooting and clear proof presentation so you can choose the images that best reflect the moment. While portraiture is the studio’s specialty, Photographic Memory also accommodates business and product needs as secondary services. If you require a professional headshot or a LinkedIn photo, Rose can provide a polished, approachable portrait suitable for business use, without positioning the studio as a specialist commercial provider. Above all, Rose measures success by the portraits that become part of your family story. As she writes on her site: If I can provide you with portraits you cherish, I’ve made a friend in the process of doing my job well. That philosophy guides every session at Photographic Memory — heartfelt, professional portrait photography for Hastings and the surrounding area.
