I'm so glad you're here!
Hey there! I'm Kian
I’m a headshot photographer based in Cardiff, and I recently graduated from the University of South Wales with a First-Class BA (Hons) in Photography.
My journey into headshot photography came from seeing just how much a great headshot can make a difference. With close friends working in the performing arts industry, I’ve seen first-hand the pressure that comes with finding images that feel current, authentic, and truly represent who you are. Your headshot is often your first introduction to a casting director, so it should feel like the best version of you - not someone you're trying to be.
That’s exactly why I approach every session the way I do.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to feel confident in front of the camera.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
I’ll guide you through the entire session, help you feel relaxed, and create an environment where you can stop worrying about the camera and simply be yourself. My goal is for you to leave not only with strong, professional headshots, but with images that genuinely feel like you.
The best part of every session is that moment when everything just clicks - when you forget the camera is even there, your personality comes through naturally, and we create photographs that feel effortless, honest, and current. That's always the aim.
what matters most to me?
Why I do what I do?
Photography really does feel like my purpose - I know that sounds a bit deep, but it’s true. I genuinely feel like this is what I’m meant to be doing.
I grew up doing performing arts, and I remember how headshots always felt either out of reach or miles away. Don’t get me wrong, there are so many incredible photographers out there, but being on this side of the camera now, I see things differently.
I want to make high-quality headshots accessible. I want people to have images they’re proud of, without it feeling impossible to get them. For me, it’s simple - no one should have to go without.
My Style
My style is all about creating headshots that feel natural, modern, and full of life.
I know you want to show range - different characters, different sides of you and that’s exactly how I shoot.
I use a mix of textured backdrops and colour to bring that out. From soft pastels through to richer, deeper tones, each one helps shape a different look depending on the energy we’re going for
So whether it’s something softer and more natural, or something with a bit more edge - we build that variety into your session.
And then in the edit, I keep everything looking clean, soft, and polished, while still bringing those colours through so your images really stand out.
And equally if you just want a really strong, natural headshot… this works perfectly for that too.
