Llanelli-based queer portrait specialist creating vibrant, alternative portraits and professional headshots. Inclusive, body-positive, and focused on authentic, styled images.
I am a Llanelli-based portrait photographer who specialises in alternative, vibrant portraiture and professional headshots. Rooted in a love of fashion, music and the 80s, my work is deliberately creative — whether you want a striking studio portrait, a polished headshot for business or a personal image that reflects your identity. I position myself as a portrait specialist: my aim is to capture personalities, not just poses. My approach is collaborative and calming. Before a shoot I take time to understand what you want to communicate — from the mood and styling to practical needs that make the session comfortable. I work with clients from all backgrounds, and I’m proud to be body-positive, LGBTQ+ friendly, neurodiverse-aware and disability-safe. That ethos shapes everything from how I structure sessions to how I guide clients in front of the camera, helping even those who feel camera-shy to relax and express themselves. Stylistically I favour bold colour, considered styling and a playful use of fashion and light. I combine editorial influences with a documentary sensitivity so images feel both composed and alive. For professional portraits and headshots I balance personality with polish: creating images that work for LinkedIn or press while retaining the creative edge that sets you apart. For personal or portfolio work I encourage experimentation — props, wardrobe, and lighting choices that emphasise your individuality. Working with me is straightforward and personable. I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where ideas can be tried and refined on the fly. I’m happy to advise on styling and poses, and I welcome collaboration with makeup artists, stylists or clients bringing their own looks. Based in Llanelli with good access to the M4, I can work from a studio environment suited to controlled lighting and styling or adapt to alternative locations when appropriate. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who specialises in distinctive, authentic images with an inclusive, professional attitude, Beauty In Chaos Photography offers a focused, creative portrait service in Llanelli and across South Wales. I care about producing images that feel true to you — bold, considered and memorable.
