Hello, I’m Shak!

I’m a South Wales based photographer & graphic designer!

My work is rooted in visual storytelling and driven by curiosity. I create work that’s expressive, intentional, and narrative-led, blending design and photography to build visual worlds and identities that feel real.

Since 2019 I’ve been freelancing my way around the UK’s creative scene, photographing everything from live music and theatre performances to weddings, studio sessions, and promotional shoots. Alongside this, I have been working closely with small businesses and musicians to create social media content that feels authentic, expressive, and aligns with their missions.

As a recent graduate in Graphic Communications from Cardiff Met, I bring a concept-led approach to all of my work, blending photography, typography, and visual systems to create imagery and design that’s narrative-driven and alive. This combination of design thinking and hands-on image making allows me to move fluidly between instinct and structure, capturing moments and crafting visuals that tell stories, build presence, and connect with audiences.

If you’re looking to collaborate, create, or bring a story to life, I’d love to hear from you!
