Darren Agius Photography

Darren Agius is a professional photographer and videographer working from Malta, and his website puts interiors at the front of what he does: hotels, rental properties, restaurants and commercial spaces, plus conferences, weddings and company events. Business owners who need pictures of a building that show it at its best, or a function recorded properly, will find the portfolio clearly organised by subject.

He appears in our directories of photography studios in Malta and video production in Malta, alongside other photographers you can compare before making an enquiry.

A career built since 2011

Darren began his creative journey in 2011. He started out in web design and development until a photographer noticed the potential in his pictures and encouraged him to go further. He then taught himself, moving from automatic settings to full manual control through long nights of practice, and for several years he has had mentoring from a photographer in Paris.

Photography has become his full-time craft, and the discipline of self-teaching still shows in how he talks about preparation and detail. Based in Malta, he takes a global view and has accepted commissions from all over the world. His clients include international corporations, hotel chains, architects, interior designers and local businesses. He describes his approach through four ideas: high quality work with close attention to detail, transparency through clear communication, reliability in meeting deadlines, and a reputation built on integrity.

What he photographs

The website menu sets out the subjects: hotels, interiors, events and conferences, portraits and headshots, weddings, food under the heading From the Kitchen, architecture, travel and before and after comparisons. The four pictures used on this page show the commercial side well, with a hotel bedroom, a lounge, a games room and a restaurant interior, all lit to show the space as a visitor or customer would experience it.

For hoteliers and holiday-let owners, strong pictures are part of how a property is presented, and our hotels across Malta page shows the market they are working in. Anyone buying or letting property from the UK may also find our Malta relocation guide helpful.

Event work covers conferences and company functions, whether a product launch, a staff gathering or a large conference, and portraits and headshots suit teams and professionals who need a clean image for a profile or a brochure. Weddings are on the menu too, for couples who prefer a documentary eye. If you are comparing, Anaca Photography is a Gozo and Malta option for weddings and events.

Recognition and press

Darren has collected a run of honourable mentions in the International Photography Awards between 2012 and 2016, in categories such as architecture, fine art, people and nature, and a nominee place at the 2013 Black and White Spider Awards. He has taken part in a European photo project about life under lockdown, and his work has appeared in magazines including Atelier, Taste and Flair, Homeworks, Architecture Today, Vamp, Places and FM Magazine, and in The Sunday Times of Malta.

How to commission Darren

Darren accepts assignments in Malta, around Europe and further afield. Tell him what you need photographed or filmed, where and by when, and say whether it is a property, an event or a portrait. If you are travelling for the shoot, the flights to Malta page lays out the routes from the UK.

Use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to Darren. A short brief helps: the type of space or event, how many images or how much film you need, and any deadline, such as a property launch, a conference date or a seasonal reopening.
