A SHOOT THAT FEELS LIKE YOU.

I'm a documentary photographer based in Cardiff. My approach to portrait photography is relaxed, collaborative and people-focused. Whether it's a straightforward headshot or a fully styled creative shoot, the aim is to make photographs that feel honest and distinctive.

Headshots & personal portraits

Natural photographs for actors, performers, artists, small business owners and individuals who want portraits with personality.

Model portfolio photography

Portraits for new or established models, with attention to expressions, looks, styling and variety for portfolios.

Creative & editorial shoots

Collaborative, location-led photography for artists, musicians, performers and anyone planning a distinctive visual project.

Shoots are arranged by enquiry, so we can discuss what you need, your preferred location and a quote suited to the brief. No fixed packages or prices are assumed.

HEADSHOTS & PERSONAL PORTRAITS.

Not everyone wants a stiff studio photograph. These portraits focus on expression, natural light and individual character. Ideal for creatives, performers, artists, professional profiles and anyone who wants a more personal image.

05 / Practical questions

GOOD TO KNOW.

Where do you offer headshot and portrait photography?

I'm based in Cardiff, Wales, and offer location-based portrait and model photography in Cardiff and across South Wales. Tell me where you have in mind when you enquire.

Do I need modelling experience?

No. Shoots can suit people building a first portfolio as well as experienced models, performers and creatives. We'll talk through what you want to achieve beforehand.

How much is a headshot or model shoot?

Sessions are quoted individually because the locations, brief, time and number of final images can vary. Contact me with what you have in mind and I'll discuss an appropriate quotation.

Can we use a location rather than a studio?

Yes. Location photography is central to my style. We can discuss urban settings, quieter backdrops or other suitable places in Cardiff and South Wales.

Can I use the photos for my portfolio, website or publicity?

Tell me how you'd like to use the images when you enquire. We can agree the intended use and any relevant permissions as part of the booking.

Let's make something good.
