Darren and Rhian Photography

Darren and Rhian Photography are a husband-and-wife portrait specialist based in Clydach, GB, who have built their studio around one clear purpose: helping people feel seen, confident and authentically themselves. With Darren’s award-winning eye behind the camera and Rhian’s years of experience as a trained poser and hairstylist, every session is crafted as a luxury, confidence-building portrait experience rather than a hurried photoshoot. Why choose Darren and Rhian? They approach portraiture as an emotional journey as much as a visual one. The team focuses on creating relaxed, guided sessions where clients—whether booking a professional headshot, LinkedIn portrait or a personal fine-art portrait—are supported from the first conversation to the final reveal. Their South Wales studio offers a calm, private space where people can unwind, be pampered by their make-up artist Julie, and discover how striking a confident, well-lit portrait can feel. What makes their approach special is the combination of technical skill and human-centred direction. Darren brings creative lighting, composition and retouching expertise; Rhian brings styling, pose coaching and warmth that helps even camera-shy clients relax quickly. Together they tailor each session to the client’s goals: a crisp, professional headshot for business profiles, or a more expressive portrait that reflects personality and story. Every image is carefully retouched and presented with options for timeless wall art or keepsake presentation pieces that turn photographs into daily reminders of strength and purpose. How they work: your journey begins with a personal consultation where Rhian listens to your brief and helps plan the look and feel of your portraits. On the day, you’ll be welcomed, relaxed with refreshments, and receive professional hair and make-up before stepping into the studio. During the shoot Darren guides light and framing while Rhian coaches pose and expression—creating natural, confident results. The experience concludes with an in-person viewing where the finished portraits are revealed and artfully designed for display. Whether you need a polished business portrait or a deeply personal studio portrait, Darren and Rhian position themselves as portrait specialists who prioritise authenticity, comfort and beautiful, professional results in Clydach and across South Wales.
