Linda Mackie | Victoria BC Headshots
Corporate, LinkedIn and Personal Branding Photography.
A professional portrait often introduces someone before a meeting or conversation takes place. It may appear on LinkedIn, a company website, a speaker profile, in media coverage, on social platforms or throughout a business’s marketing.
Victoria photographer Linda Mackie creates headshots, personal branding and commercial photography for entrepreneurs, creative people, business leaders, professionals and corporate teams. With more than two decades of experience, she guides clients through planning, clothing, creative direction and the photography itself. Linda is part of Headshots Matter, a global community of photographers who create thoughtful, professional portraits. The goal is a considered, supportive experience and photographs that clearly represent the people and businesses behind them.

What Others Are Saying
“I have been photographed multiple times in my career in journalism, but Linda's work stands out as the most creative, flattering, and enduring. She was able to put me completely at ease, and her work is still what I turn to when I am asked to supply a professional portrait. She was able to capture the 'real' me as no one else has.”
