Accentuate Visuals is based in Torquay, Devon, and is owned and run by Maureen Townsend. Specialising in photography and creative imagery for businesses and individuals, creating images that enhance your branding and speak to your audience with clarity, confidence, and impact.
With a background in business services with an emphasis on marketing coupled with a lifelong passion for photography, Maureen combines strategic insight with creative vision.
Previously trading as Astrality Business Services, her focus has gradually shifted more towards marketing, photography, and visual storytelling—leading to the launch of Accentuate Visuals, a name that reflects this creative direction.
Maureen’s approach is thoughtful, personal, and people-focused. She blends creativity with professionalism to produce authentic imagery that strengthens brand identity and supports real business goals.
Drawing on extensive experience in business support and mentoring—including serving as CEO of a county-wide Chamber of Commerce—she understands the day-to-day realities of running a business and brings clarity, confidence, and practical guidance to every project.
In addition to working with businesses, Accentuate Visuals is expanding to offer a range of mounted prints and greetings cards, making her bespoke photography accessible to individuals as well.
Maureen is also the Co-Founder of Devon Women in Business, which she runs with her business partner Louise Jenner, including the highly successful DWIB Awards.
A keen cat lover, she volunteers as a cat socialiser for Cats Protection and is an active member of the Paignton Photographic Club, where she oversees marketing and social media.
