I'm a Portrait Photographer, an official Nikon Creator and an Ambassador for Rotolight.


“Crafting soulful portraits, where my love for people meets photography, each shot meticulously handcrafted from click to retouch.”


The need for striking and engaging images should be viewed as vital. We now live in an age where businesses, brands, and influencers fail because they lack social presence. Portraits should be taken seriously because great content, rankings, and algorithms strongly determine an online presence. Of course, what you're reading isn't a lecture about Google rankings or social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Still, I want you to understand that in a world that has been struck by the business-crippling, life-taking disease called Covid, everyone looking to succeed must be prepared to work differently. This is why portraits and videos are critical to your business's success.


ABOUT ME, BOYD VISUALS – LONDON AND HAMPSHIRE PORTRAIT AND LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, my name is Darren Boyd, and I am so excited to share my mini-story with you. I feel blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to do something I genuinely love doing, and that is portrait photography.


Believe it or not, the urge to take photos wasn't my main focus in life! Instead, my creativity started with the pen and paper, then upgraded to colouring pencils, followed by the paintbrush and then the Apple desktop computer (Graphic Design). However, it wasn't until I enrolled to obtain a BA at Kingston University that I picked up my first professional camera and poorly framed my first shot.

What I truly enjoyed about photography was the experience of developing film! Alone in the darkroom, waiting eagerly for the result, surrounded by the smell of photographic chemicals, strange as it may sound, brought an element of excitement.


After graduating in Graphic Design and Photography, I worked as a Designer for Pearson Education, where I found happiness growing as a designer. Six years later, I was headhunted by Macmillan Publishing. During my stint at the company, I had that annoying itch of being unfulfilled. My growth potential was reaching its ceiling, so I challenged myself to take photography to another level. Besides, photography at that time was a side hustle, a paid hobby that gave me that quick fix. So I stopped depending on my career and started focusing on what made me happy. So, unlike some professional portrait photographers, I love what I do, and I’m qualified in both photography and retouching.
