# Ashley Coombes Photography

Ashley Coombes is a Scotland-based commissioned portrait photographer based in Stirling who specialises in capturing distinctive, credible portraits of influential individuals and organisations. With a depth of experience combining documentary photography with subtle direction, Ashley creates natural yet visually striking portraits that authentically represent her subjects.

Her clientele spans leaders, founders, teams and makers across Scotland and beyond, working with brands, publications and organisations who demand high-calibre portraiture. The portfolio demonstrates significant range: from intimate character studies of artists and entrepreneurs to corporate environmental portraits, editorial commissions and architectural photography. Notable subjects include celebrities, distillery chairs, architects, journalists and business leaders.

What distinguishes Ashley's approach is her ability to balance documentary authenticity with intentional composition. Rather than stiff corporate imagery, her work captures genuine presence and character. This versatility extends beyond traditional portraiture—she also delivers commercial photography for hospitality venues, educational institutions, and lifestyle brands, plus editorial work and aerial photography.

Her experience across diverse sectors—from whisky distilleries to education, from luxury hospitality to food producers—means she understands how to visually communicate each subject's unique story and values. Ashley doesn't simply take portraits; she creates compelling visual narratives that serve the strategic needs of publications, brands and organisations seeking photography with substance and authenticity.
