Thanks for all your help Colin!

Right from the start, Colin's approach to gaining the best headshots is second to none!

Colin's professionalism and expertise came through immediately, with the time he spent days before the shoot, discussing what styles best suits you, what your aims are and which particular niche in acting you're looking for.

Colin is a true talent to his trade, I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting first class headshots, also he was great to work with, from start to finish everything was very relaxed.

I found him a genuinely nice guy, whose passion for getting the best results for you shows. More...

I very highly recommend Colin and would go back to him again in the furture whenever my headshots need redoing!

I was a little nervous, always am having new headshots done but as soon as i saw Colin his infectious smile instantly had me at ease!
He helped me choose which outfits to wear, and was always making sure i was ok with what he was suggesting, which was great, all his attention on me and making sure everything was best for me.
I love how much of a perfectionist he is! lighting was perfect and the backgrounds suited each shot.

I loved all my photos took me ages to narrow it down to 4, I'm super happy about the 4 I've chose and can't wait to start showing the creative world the new me!

Thank you so much!!! More...

Finally!! I’ve found an amazing headshot photographer. Colin is AMAZING. So much time and effort went into my shots. He has a passion for lighting and photography and that really shows from the shoot and more importantly, from the pictures. We had such a laugh too which really helped. Lighting is so important and he has a way of seeing things that most other photographers oversee! I was so impressed. Thanks Colin! Can’t recommend you enough. I’ll be back for more. x More...

Where do you start.... Colin is an absolute delight to work with!
From the initial conversation when booking through to yesterdays insanely amazing shoot Colin oozes charisma and wit! He has a great ability to put you at ease and make the shoot a pleasant experience. His attention to detail is impeccable and that is definitely what makes him stand out from other photographers.
My second shout out goes to the outstanding make up artist Rebecca Tupman- what an artist she is! She helped me create four contrasting but striking looks and I could not be any more grateful.
Actors there is nobody else around that offers this first class service- Neilson Reeves Photography all the way!
Thank you! More...

From the off, Colin made the whole experience easy. Having never had my headshots taken before, I had no clue what to expect. We spoke on the phone beforehand and he put me at ease; like an approachable professional. You know you’re in safe hands when a photographer spends a good 20 minutes setting up more lights than the Blackpool Illuminations. He cares about his work, isn’t driven by money and doesn’t rush. Colin puts as much passion into his craft as we do as actors. This really shows in the final shots. I’m excited to show them off. More...

The whole experience from start to finish was top quality. I had previously explained during the consultation period what my agent required and Neilson Reeves got it spot on.

The Make up was subtle and was provided by Rebecca Tupman. Again, this girl knows her stuff!! They work really well as a team and it shows.

If you need headshots then for me, this is the guy you need. You WILL NOT find a better photographer, makeup artist or set up.

I will be posting pics of the final headshots soon!! More...

I enjoyed working with Colin and that’s what it felt like we were working together. We collaborated to achieve a set of headshots that conveys me. I am happy with what Colin has captured through his lens. His understanding of light and composition has helped me show who I am as an actor and the diversity I can express with just my facial expression and intention. He has also helped me feel a bit more comfortable with still photography, next time I am going to try and enjoy it a bit more! More...

Magnificent, right off the bat.

Colin greeted me with a warm, comforting embrace & immediately alleviated any worries or concerns I may have, by default placing me in a feeling of peace & excitement. What we created was nothing short of a masterpiece, and that’s without mentioning the razor sharp jawline (self indulgent, deal with it)

I required the best of the best, pictures that would compel & capture the imagination. A second glancer, work that would not only intrigue you, but leave you staring longingly, mesmerised at the quality.

This man knocked it out the park, with the invaluable help of beautiful Chelsea, they both spearheaded a day filled with enlightenment, joy and most importantly, dazzling photography work. Thank you Colin, it was a dream. More...

I always find headshot sessions to be a chore but Colin creates such a welcoming atmosphere with his positive and friendly attitude that it makes it impossible not to enjoy.

I visited Colin 3 years ago and in the year that I used those photos I had more castings and more job bookings that year than in the entire 4 years I have been working in the industry.

This time, I also opted for the hair and make up package which I can’t recommend enough! Chelsea was so lovely and absolutely brilliant. It completely erased any worries at all that I usually have on headshot days and felt more like another day on set. I will not be going anywhere else from now on!

Thank you Colin and Chelsea More...

A massive thank you to Colin and Rebecca for my shiny new headshots! Both of them together worked their incredibly perfectionist eye to create flawless images. They made me feel comfortable in their presence from the outset and made me miss the happy and down to earth spirit of the North. Never for a second did either of them lose me from their focus and making me look and feel great. A great day for both me and Mum. Top recommendations from me Thank you both xxx More...

The environment Colin provides is very relaxing as hes very friendly, he helps you pick out your outfits, which backgrounds are best and also lights you perfectly :) He's certainly a perfectionist guiding you along the shoot to get your face on the best angle and create the perfect headshot. It was an extremely fun session with fabulous results.. I loved all the photos! Can 100% say it was hard to decide.

I have looked at Colin's work for years and admired it, his work is truly stunning. This may sound ridiculous, but he captures your soul in the lens. I honestly don’t know how he does it! The recent shoot I had was a pleasure and he is my go to guy from here on out. I cannot recommend Colin enough not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is someone I am proud to call a friend.

Chuffed to bits with my new headshots! Had a right giggle with Colin and Rebecca from start to finish on the shoot day, with both making me feel very much like it was my shoot - all working together to get the best of what I wanted from my pictures. In all honesty I had my reservations about booking in for hair and make up, as recommended by Colin, but Rebecca Tupman managed to create 4 completely contrasting looks, something I've never managed to achieve on my own at a headshot shoot before. Again, I was given control each step of the way, with both Colin and Rebecca making sure I was happy with everything! My only criticism is that I couldn't choose which final shots to go with - I love them all! And if nothing else, I'd book in again tomorrow for the banter! Thanks again guys! x More...

I really enjoyed my shoot with Colin, he makes you feel at ease the moment you walk into the room. Colin helped me feel comfortable and truly have fun whilst working and being productive. The experience was made even better with the help of make-up artist Rebecca Tupman who I couldn’t praise more. As a team, both Colin and Rebecca created and produced great photos which I couldn’t be happier with.
Colin really makes every effort to get to know you and understand what you want out of the shoot. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks Colin and Rebecca! More...

I had the best morning with Colin taking my new headshots! I've never exactly been a fan of having my photo taken, but he put me at ease straight away and made me feel really good about myself and what I was doing! It was like hanging out with a mate and I could have easily stayed all day! I haven't seen the proofs yet, but Colin showed me the photos on his camera throughout the shoot so that I could see how it was going. I enjoyed the whole experience so much and would absolutely recommend Colin and the 'Get Ahead' Package to anyone! And it wouldn't be complete without Rebecca's wonderful hair and make up which made me look better than I could ever have believed! Thanks so much guys - I wish I could give more stars! More...

Really enjoyed my experience here, Colin was so welcoming and helps you feel really relaxed for the shoot. Really chatty and interesting and also makes sure you're happy about the process and how the shots are looking as you're doing them which is so helpful and something I've not had in past photographers. Looking forward to seeing the results but with his attention to detail and hard work I feel really confident. Can't recommend him highly enough! More...

We had Colin over to take headshots for the whole sales team, as well as some corporate portraits of our CEO. Colin made the whole experience something fun instead of something awkward and painful like with other photographers. Our CEO is notoriously hard to please when it comes to photos of himself, and these are the first that I have seen him genuinely like. Will definitely be back to Colin for our future needs. More...
