Marcel Herciu is a Brent-based portrait specialist offering relaxed, professional studio portraits and headshots. Friendly, communicative approach to capture authentic expressions.
Marcel Herciu brings more than a decade of photographic experience to his portrait studio in Brent, GB — specialising in portrait photography and professional headshots. Having started his journey working for a press agency and photographing high-pressure sports events, Marcel honed an eye for decisive moments and genuine expression. Today he channels that experience into portrait work, aiming to capture the personality behind every face rather than forcing a pose. Why choose Marcel for portraits? Marcel describes himself as friendly and communicative, and his studio sessions reflect that: relaxed, conversational and tailored to put subjects at ease. Whether you need a contemporary studio portrait, a polished headshot for LinkedIn, or a business portrait that conveys professionalism without losing warmth, Marcel focuses on natural light, clean composition and subtle direction so the result looks authentic and confident. What makes his approach special is the combination of documentary instincts and studio control. Marcel’s background in events and sport taught him to anticipate emotion and movement; in portrait work he uses that sensitivity to find the moment that reveals character. Clients often say they felt comfortable immediately — Marcel’s calm, adaptive manner helps even camera-shy people look and feel themselves in front of the lens. How he works: sessions begin with a brief conversation about the intended use — personal portfolio, corporate profile, LinkedIn or creative portraiture — so every image is purpose-driven. In-studio, Marcel guides poses with clear, gentle direction, adjusting lighting and framing until the expression and mood feel right. He prioritises a friendly atmosphere and efficient workflow, so sessions are productive but never rushed. While portraiture is Marcel’s core specialism, he also accepts commissions for business portraits and headshots when clients want a professional, approachable visual identity. Based in Brent, Marcel welcomes individuals, creatives and business clients across the GB area who value thoughtful, well-crafted portrait photography. If you’re looking for studio portraits or professional headshots with a personable, expert photographer who cares about capturing the real you, Marcel Herciu is ready to help — reliable, communicative and focused on delivering images that feel true and look exceptional.
