Fulton Studios in Gelligaer — portrait specialist offering relaxed, professional studio portraits and business headshots. Julian’s friendly, gentle approach helps even camera-shy clients shine.
I’m Julian — the face behind Fulton Studios — and portrait photography is at the heart of what I do. Having built my business over more than a decade, I’ve focused on creating portrait sessions that feel calm, genuine and uncomplicated. My studio presence in Gelligaer is intentionally relaxed: I want people to arrive as themselves and leave with portraits that reflect who they really are. Why choose Fulton Studios for portrait photography in Gelligaer? Because I treat every shoot as a personal collaboration. My aim is to make the whole experience easy and enjoyable — I’m fun (but not in a ‘tik-tok-dancing-sort-of-way’), I’m gentle, and I take great care to guide you through poses, expressions and simple adjustments so the end results feel natural rather than forced. That relaxed approach is especially valuable for professional headshots and LinkedIn portraits, where authenticity and confidence matter most. My style balances professional polish with a warm, approachable feel. Whether you need a crisp business portrait for a corporate profile or a personal studio portrait that captures personality, I work to create images that are flattering, purposeful and true to you. Sessions are tailored — we’ll talk about what you want to communicate, choose lighting and framing that suit your look, and I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your best expressions come through. I also offer portrait options beyond the studio, including location shoots when you want a different atmosphere. While portrait work is my primary focus, I’m happy to accommodate other family portrait needs when required — always placing portrait photography first in how I craft sessions and final images. What drives me is simple: the moment a client sees a portrait and recognises themselves in a way that surprises them. That reaction — a mix of pride, relief and joy — is why I do this. If you’re in Gelligaer or nearby and looking for a portrait or professional headshot that’s crafted with experience, patience and a friendly hand, get in touch to arrange a relaxed consultation. I’ll listen to what you want and guide the rest of the process so your portraits are exactly what you hoped for.
