Apollo Photography

At Apollo Photography, portrait photography is more than a service — it’s a way to tell the stories of real people. Based in Ebbw Vale and led by James Robinson, our portrait studio focuses on connection and authenticity. James’ gentle, conversational approach helps even the most camera-shy clients relax, so the photographs feel natural, expressive and true to who you are. Why choose Apollo Photography for your portraits? We specialise in capturing personalities rather than just poses. Whether you’re booking a personal portrait, a family session or a maternity shoot, our aim is to create timeless images that you’ll return to again and again. We value atmosphere: calm, unhurried sessions let small moments and real expressions emerge — the quiet glance, the spontaneous smile, the subtle gesture that brings an image to life. Our style blends classic composition with modern, natural lighting and an eye for detail. James approaches each session as a mini-storytelling project: listening to what matters to you, selecting backgrounds and lighting that complement your look, and guiding you through poses that feel comfortable and flattering. The result is a collection of photographs that balance artistry with honesty. How we work: from your first enquiry we focus on communication. James will discuss your preferences and the mood you want to capture, suggest wardrobe and timing, and tailor the shoot to your needs. In-studio sessions at our Ebbw Vale space provide a relaxed, private environment ideal for portraits, family groups and maternity photography. We also welcome pets in sessions where they are part of the family story. While portrait work is our core focus, we also offer professional headshots and business portraits on request. If you need a confident LinkedIn photo or a polished headshot for your business profile, we can create a look that feels professional yet approachable — though our primary expertise remains in personal and family portraiture. Rooted in South Wales, Apollo Photography is driven by a passion for preserving moments that matter. If you’re after portraits that reflect personality, warmth and a thoughtful visual story, James Robinson and the Apollo team provide a welcoming, skilled experience from start to finish.
