Actor and Website Headshots

Actor and Website Headshots
May 2020: I am restarting my photography business when Covid-19 restrictions allow. 

I shoot actor headshots and head and shoulder shots for your website or other professional use.

I charge £50 for a website headshot which takes about an hour and £75 for a 2 hour actor session, payable after the shoot. Please feel free to bring some different 'looks'. 

My USP is that I give you all the full size jPegs to use as you wish so there is no ongoing cost after the session. I include a light photoshop of two chosen shots, though my aim is always to capture you in camera rather than enhance you afterwards with extensive photoshopping. 

A successful headshot captures your natural personality.

I am an experienced actor with extensive TV/film experience over 40 years so have a good understanding of what makes a great actor headshot... more than anything it's relaxing you on camera so your eyes shine. I'm also a DipHE student studying for BA (Hons) Painting with the University for the Creative Arts and have a good compositional eye. 

About ten years ago I ran a successful Actor and Website Headshot business, and some of my clients are still using their headshots today. I stopped the business because I needed a guaranteed regular income to bring up my son but am starting up again now he is independent.

I have a small home studio with blind and lights but prefer to shoot in natural window light (or outdoors) if possible.  In natural light I'll ask you to hold a reflector to fill in shadows. You can bring a friend to do this for you if it helps though there's always a danger you'll be aware of your 'audience' and pose, making it harder to get natural shots.
