Cardiff Photographer: Headshots & Lifestyle Photography
Trusted Cardiff photographer since 2006
I’m a commercial photographer based in Cardiff with over 18 years of professional experience. I specialise in headshots, lifestyle photography, and brand imagery — working with individuals, businesses, and creative agencies across a wide range of industries. Whether you’re a freelancer in need of standout personal branding images, a fast-growing DTC brand building your visual identity, or a large corporate team refreshing your headshots, I’m here to help.
Since 2006, I’ve been creating striking, natural imagery that not only looks great but serves a purpose. I work with clients across the UK — from small businesses and startups to government departments and financial institutions — all with one shared goal: to create photography that makes an impact. If you’re looking for a Cardiff photographer who understands how to bring out the best in you and your brand, you’re in the right place.
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.
If you’re looking for a photographer in Cardiff who will guide you through the process and deliver images that feel like you — relaxed, professional, and full of personality — let’s chat. I’ll work closely with you from the first conversation to the final delivery, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.
No jargon. No awkward poses. Just great photography and a smooth, supportive experience from start to finish.
