About

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

My USP is that I give you all the full size jPegs to use as you wish. I'll include a light photoshop of two chosen shots though my aim is to capture you in camera you as you as you would walk into a room.

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

About ten years ago I ran a successful Actor's Headshot business with some of my clients still using their headshots today. I stopped the business as I needed a guaranteed regular income to bring up my son but am starting it up again now he is independant.

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 if it helps though there's always a danger you'll be aware of your friend and pose, making it harder to get a natural shot.
