Commercial Photographer Cardiff
What sets me apart as a commercial photographer is my strategic approach. Photography isn’t just about pressing the shutter at the right moment, it’s about understanding what the images need to do. My background in both photography and the wider creative industry means I help clients look at their image needs through a commercial lens. Before we ever pick up a camera, I take time to understand your goals, audience, and where these images will be used, whether that’s your website, a marketing campaign, social media, or investor materials.
Over the years, I’ve developed a process that’s smooth, relaxed, and, according to my clients, surprisingly enjoyable. I know most people feel a bit awkward in front of a camera, which is why I focus on making the experience easy and stress-free. My clients often tell me how relaxed they felt during the shoot, and how much they actually enjoyed the session, even those who started off dreading it. That’s something I take real pride in.
My photography style is clean, modern, and natural. I use natural light wherever possible, and subtle studio lighting when it helps elevate the image, always with a light touch that keeps things looking authentic. I want you to look like the best version of yourself, not like someone completely different. The result? Striking, high-quality images that reflect who you are and what you do.
I shoot on location across Cardiff and South Wales, and often travel further afield for clients in Bristol, Birmingham, and London. For actor headshots, I use a mix of location and studio setups depending on the look we’re going for. Corporate headshots are usually done at the client’s HQ, with a professional setup tailored to the brand. Lifestyle photography is always shot on location, in environments that feel real and tell the right story about you or your business.
I’ve built long-term relationships with many of my clients, who return year after year as their teams grow or their brand evolves. That trust means a lot to me. I’m not just showing up to take photos, I’m here to help you communicate more clearly and confidently through strong visuals.
