Darren Charles Holloway Photography

As a qualified professional photographer based in Smallfield on the Horley border, Darren Charles Holloway specialises in portrait photography with a clear focus on delivering elegant, timeless and natural images. Portrait work is a core passion — from newborns and maternity through to children, family groups, pets and business headshots — and every session is tailored to the individual so your images reflect real personality, not stiff poses. Darren’s approach is relaxed, friendly and unobtrusive. He aims to create a calm atmosphere where clients feel at ease; this helps produce authentic expressions and beautiful, honest portraits. Sessions take place in his fully equipped studio in Smallfield — a comfortable space with a changing room, mini kitchen and private facilities — or at a location of your choice around Horley, Surrey and the surrounding counties. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn headshot or a warm family portrait, Darren balances contemporary and classical techniques to create images that are both modern and timeless. Experience, craft and careful editing are integral to the service. Darren is proud to be qualified with professional bodies including the MPA, BIPP and RPS, and his long career in professional photography informs every step of the process: from the initial consultation and styling guidance to lighting, composition and final retouching. He manages all editing and artwork in his studio so clients receive consistent, professionally finished images ready for print or online use. For business and headshot work Darren focuses on delivering professional portraits that communicate competence and approachability — perfect for LinkedIn, corporate profiles or marketing collateral. For family, newborn and pet sessions he prioritises comfort and patience, allowing moments to unfold naturally and capturing genuine interactions.
