PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm Alex Iacob, a freelance photographer based in Newport, South Wales, working in portrait and event photography.

Alongside client work I'm completing a master's degree in photography, which keeps my approach curious, current, and always pushing for a stronger image.

Whether it's a portrait session or capturing the moments that make an event, I bring an editorial eye and a genuine care for getting it right.

Let's create something worth looking at.

Creative Photography

Portraits with room to imagine. This is where styling, light and idea come together to turn a person into a character and a single frame into a story. Bold, expressive and made to be looked at twice.

Editorial Photography

Real people, shown with style. Portraits made with a magazine feel, where mood, setting and story shape every frame. The kind of image that could sit beside a feature and hold its own.

Event Photography

Moments as they happen. From celebrations to community events across Newport and beyond, this is unobtrusive photography that captures the day as it really felt, the big moments and the quiet ones in between.

Family Photography

Family moments: Christenings, parties and celebrations, photographed naturally and warmly, so the day feels just as alive when you look back on it.

Automotive

Cars with character. Photography that captures the lines, detail and presence of a vehicle, whether it is a proud owner's pride and joy or a set of images for a sale.

Sports

From the sidelines. Photography of local sport and the people who love it, capturing the effort, the moments and the pride, whatever the level.
