Matthew Butterfield Photography

I’m Matthew Butterfield, a British photographer based in Benitachell on the Costa Blanca, close to Jávea. My speciality is professional portrait photography: I work with executives, freelancers, actors and professionals who need a clear, modern and authentic image for LinkedIn, CVs or their company communications. Why choose my professional portraits? I combine an art-school background (First Class Honours and an MA in Art History) with decades of practical experience. From my first camera at age six to projects exhibited internationally, I’ve developed a visual sensibility that balances aesthetic sensitivity with communicative clarity — photographs that convey professionalism without losing personality. My approach is direct and personable. I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere, talk with each subject and find natural gestures rather than forcing rigid poses. I shoot both in studio and on location, working digitally and, where appropriate for the project, using film to add distinctive texture. This flexibility lets me tailor the portrait to its purpose: a crisp, neutral LinkedIn headshot, a corporate portrait that fits your brand identity, or a more editorial image with character. How I collaborate with clients: we begin with a short consultation to understand how the images will be used and the message you want to send. I propose ideas for lighting, background and wardrobe, and on the day I direct the session with patience and good humour so even the shyest clients feel comfortable. After the shoot I carefully select and edit the best images, delivering retouched high-resolution files ready for web and print. Although my primary focus is professional portrait photography, I also photograph company teams and small groups, creating consistent visuals for websites and corporate materials. If you need images that convey your reputation and professional trustworthiness on the Costa Blanca, I offer bespoke solutions and can travel to Jávea, Moraira, Teulada and nearby areas. If you’re looking for a professional portrait with artistic sensitivity, clear communication and a friendly, personalised approach, let’s talk. I’m interested in your project and in creating a portrait that truly represents you.
