Portraits that Feel Like You
Real People in Real Places
I refuse to take portraits in controlled studio environments, which feel like a hospital's sterile room. Instead, I step outside, into the real world, where authenticity thrives. My portraits are not just pictures; they’re raw, powerful snapshots of real life — taken on the streets, in alleyways, and under the open sky, with only natural light to reveal the true essence of the subjects.
Each portrait captures more than just a face — it captures a story, an attitude, and a moment in time that feels raw and untamed. My approach is simple: no artificial lighting, no studio backdrops, just real people in real places. Whether it’s the gritty energy of Cardiff’s urban streets or the quiet solitude of an open space, every shot is a testament to the power of authenticity.
My headshots go beyond the typical. They’re not about creating a polished version of someone — they’re about revealing who they really are. Each image speaks to the subject’s personality, character, and energy, shot in the light of a world that’s far from perfect but undeniably beautiful.
Step into the world of my portrait and headshot photography, where every shot is a reflection of real people in the real world.
