Specialist portrait studio in Gelligaer crafting professional portraits and LinkedIn headshots. Marcel’s commercial lighting expertise produces natural, confident images for business use.
I’m Marcel Daleki — a commercial photographer who brings over 15 years’ experience to portrait photography from my base near Gelligaer. My background in commercial and advertising work shapes everything I do in the studio and on location: I treat every portrait as a small piece of visual storytelling, using light and composition to reveal personality, professionalism and purpose. Why choose my portrait studio? Because I combine a commercial photographer’s precision with a relaxed, human approach. Whether you need a LinkedIn photo, professional headshot or a creative composite portrait, my priority is to make you look confident and authentic. My lighting-led process ensures consistency and polish while my experience shooting for businesses means the images work hard for websites, profiles and marketing materials. How I work with clients: it starts with a short consultation — we discuss the image you want to project and any brand requirements. I offer practical preparation guidance on wardrobe and posing so you arrive ready and relaxed. On the day I create an easy atmosphere, guiding you through expressions and subtle adjustments to capture natural, flattering portraits. I shoot in-studio or bring a portable setup to your office, allowing me to deliver professional corporate headshots without disrupting your team. My approach is detail-driven but friendly. I use controlled lighting, considered backgrounds and careful retouching to ensure every final image is clean, consistent and true to you. For clients wanting something more creative, I develop composite portraits that combine studio precision with artistic storytelling — a technique I’ve explored across personal and commercial projects. Based in Gelligaer and serving businesses across the UK, I’m passionate about creating portraits that feel modern, honest and purpose-built. If you want a portrait that makes a strong first impression — for LinkedIn, company bios or marketing — I’ll deliver images that reflect your best professional self while staying true to who you are.
