Visual storytelling for your business and life’s moments.
For businesses/brands - clean, scroll-stopping imagery and video content for brands - designed for websites, social media and marketing. From headshots and behind-the-scenes to product and brand storytelling, helping businesses show up with clarity and consistency. I can also shape a cohesive visual identity and provide ready-to-use templates for effortless, ongoing content.
For people - I capture real moments - weddings, families and special occasions - in a natural, relaxed way, creating timeless images that genuinely reflect each story.
Premium Talking-Head Content for Schroders Asset Management.
High-end talking-head content for Schroders, blending quirky behind-the-scenes moments, curated B-roll to add depth and bring the narrative to life. From shaping the story to directing confident, natural delivery, I oversee the full production process to ensure a polished, intentional result that feels effortless and premium.

I create natural, considered photography, videography and content that tells brand stories and life’s moments with authenticity and intent - capturing everything from quiet, refined details to more dynamic, engaging interactions. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, focused on revealing character, emotion and meaning in a genuine way.
With years of corporate experience at Schroders Asset Management in the City of London, I led the creative and brand department, overseeing all design, in-house photography and design-led content creation, with imagery featured in leading publications including the Financial Times, and winning multiple awards for creative campaigns and photography. I also bring experience working with retail brands such as Sainsbury’s, alongside an editorial background at Marie Claire, shaping a refined eye for narrative, composition and art direction.
I’m lucky enough to have three amazing children and have had the honour of capturing their moments as they grow. Capturing life’s fleeting moments visually is my passion - whether for corporate clients or individuals - and it’s what makes storytelling so meaningful, preserving what makes life feel special. My passion is helping people look and feel the very best version of themselves, capturing them in a way that feels authentic, confident and true to who they are.
I also have a real passion for weddings. I love being part of such a special day in people’s lives, helping them feel the best version of themselves and capturing moments they can treasure forever - this is always my goal.
My calm, easy-going nature helps people feel relaxed in front of the camera, allowing their natural expressions and real smiles to come through.
Across all of this, my experience in creative and design-led environments allows me to think beyond individual assets, considering how stories are expressed as a cohesive whole.
I offer bespoke photography, videography and content creation - including design content - from brand storytelling and interviews to product, lifestyle and social content, all designed to work seamlessly across digital, print and physical spaces.
Based in Upminster and working across London, Essex, Kent and beyond, I focus on meaningful detail, genuine connection and creating content that presents every story at its very best.
“It’s been such a joy working with you. I really appreciate all your support 🎊🎊🎊 It’s been amazing collaborating together and I really hope this is the first of many things we work on together in the future.”

Feedback on my approach to capturing the imagery and videography throughout the day:
“I love these images, they really capture the connections and energy of the day xx”
“Beautiful work. 🤩🤩🤩”
“The photography and videography were so natural and unobtrusive. You were fully present throughout the day while still capturing everything - never intrusive or disruptive, just seamlessly part of it in your own way.”

My approach to commercial photography and content creation is natural, unobtrusive, and emotionally led - capturing both the feeling and the visual story of a brand or experience. I produce photography, videography, social content, and short-form reels to create cohesive storytelling across digital platforms.
Working in this way allows me to document real moments as they unfold, capturing authentic connection, energy, and interaction without interruption or staging.
The result is considered, versatile content that reflects genuine emotion, presence, and story - designed to work seamlessly across brand, marketing, and social channels.
"I was so delighted to be introduced to Becky Bates! She did the most amazing shoot for my re-branding - I am so happy with the images she produced. She has an incredible eye for detail and really took the time to understand my work and the feeling I wanted to convey through my images. During the shoot, she made me feel completely at ease (which is no small task!) and guided me gently so everything felt natural rather than posed. I was really impressed with how my images turned out - I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality branding photography."

My approach to business brand photography is natural, refined, and quietly confident - capturing your business with authenticity and ease.
I have extensive experience working with CEOs, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and members of the peerage in the City of London, creating imagery that conveys authority, trust, and sophistication. A background in creative and design brings a considered, editorial perspective to every shoot.
I offer a holistic, design-led approach - combining thoughtfully curated photography with supporting creative direction to ensure your brand feels cohesive and elevated across every touchpoint.
