J Van Marle Photography

Justin Van Marle is a specialist portrait photographer based in Colwyn Bay, delivering professional portraits and business headshots with a clear commercial sensibility. With over 17 years’ experience producing portraiture, headshots, lifestyle and advertising imagery, Justin approaches each session as a chance to tell a person’s story — whether that’s for a corporate profile, LinkedIn, an agency portfolio or personal branding. Why choose J Van Marle for your portrait work? Justin combines formal training in graphic design with years of commercial photography practice, giving him a unique eye for composition, tone and how an image will perform across print and digital channels. Clients benefit from thoughtful image-making that looks polished yet truthful — images crafted to represent your personality and the professional credibility your business demands. What makes the approach special is its collaborative, client-led process. Sessions begin with a conversation about tone, usage and expectations so that every choice — from lighting to backdrop to posture — supports the message you want to send. The atmosphere on set is relaxed and purposeful: Justin works to put subjects at ease, guiding expressions and poses so the results feel natural rather than forced. Whether you prefer studio-controlled portraits or on-location business headshots, the aim is consistent: authentic, professional images that boost confidence and engagement. How it works: after an initial briefing we plan the session around your needs — corporate headshots, executive portraits, or creative lifestyle portraits for personal branding. Justin’s production experience means shoots are efficient and organised, with attention to detail from wardrobe and lighting through to delivery. Final images are refined for brand use, ready for profiles, websites, press or printed marketing material. Serving Colwyn Bay and clients across the UK, J Van Marle Photography positions itself as a portrait specialist for professionals and businesses who want more than a photograph — they want images that communicate story, integrity and purpose.
