About

I specialise in expression-led, casting-ready headshots that read clearly on Spotlight and other casting platforms.

Most of my sessions are shot indoors in a more controlled and comfortable environment, whatever the weather decides to do outside.

My daughter wanted professional headshot photos, for her spotlight profile, and we are so pleased we opted for Andrej. He was fun, knowledgeable, very experienced and put both of us at ease very quickly at the photo shoot. There were so many great photos to choose from and Andrej helped us narrow it down, and then sent to us so my daughter could decide in her own time which ones she wanted. She had 6 in total and they are amazing - different expressions and colours etc. Just what she wanted!Andrej was incredibly helpful every step of the way, from booking to sending over the final edited photos.We would absolutely use him again and would recommend his photography service to others.

I specifically chose Andrej due to his understanding of actor headshots and what's required of them, especially with regards to different emotions. He was easy to work with and incorporated my ideas too. I was really pleased with the shots and would thoroughly recommend Andrej for your headshots! More...

Absolutely wonderful headshots that Andrej provided. I met him at a Spark Business Networking Event in Nottingham. It was great fun taking a few incredible headshots and the finished results were exceptional. Andrej is incredibly knowledgeable and was very aware of how I (as the subject) needed to portray and hold myself to bring about an impactful headshot.Thank you ever so much. I'll display my new photos with much pride on my LinkedIn and other business material! :)Daniel More...

First of all let me say that I am not someone that usually enjoys having their photograph taken, or in most cases, the end results. After needing some headshots for my career, I was nervous at finding a photographer that could work for, and with me.However, the experience of working with Andrej was a really positive one and I am so glad that I found him. Andrej took time before and during the session to understand what I was looking for and helped coach me into achieving different results. Once we had a range of different shots, Andrej then worked with me to whittle them down prior to editing. Talking of which, as well as being very happy with the photos as they were being taken, Andrej's editing skills are excellent and he enhanced the photos further, which capped off a great experience.If you are looking for a photographer to put you at ease, provide a collaborative experience tailored to what you are looking for, at a competitive price and produce results that you definitely cannot achieved without having years of experience, I would strongly recommend Andrej.

What a great experience. Over the years I've done numerous headshots sessions with different photographers, and this was by far the best. Andrej really knows what he is doing and understands what actors want from a headshot session. He has a brilliant way of putting you at your ease. He gives lots of advice on tricks of the trade when being photographed, many of which were new to me, and the end product speaks for itself. My agent is also delighted with the results. The hardest part was trying to decide which of the fabulous range of pictures to post on Spotlight. More...

It was an absolute joy to work with Andrej. He made me feel completely at ease through the entire process; from the minute I arrived to when I received the finished set of prints. His passion and dedication to his craft shone through as we tried a multitude of various combinations of lighting, angles and backgrounds to achieve a variety of different looks. His direction was clear and concise, and he was also willing to try suggestions I had, which I found particularly refreshing. It was a personal challenge for me to have a front facing shot taken. My face isn’t symmetrical, and my nose and chin are fairly prominent, but Andrej very kindly reminded me that to be a character actress, those particular features are the ones that make me stand out, and could possibly be exactly what a casting director is looking for. His kind words, gentle encouragement and sense of humour, as well as the very useful insider tips he shared were invaluable to me.Andrej’s communication throughout was outstanding, and his attention to detail absolutely excellent. He not only provided me with vertical/portrait and horizontal web friendly format images, but also high resolution copies suitable for print, ensuring I was completely satisfied with my final decision prior to, and after he sent the final selection.I found his professional but relaxed, friendly manner to be the perfect balance needed to achieve the quality standard of results I was aiming for, am absolutely delighted with the results and highly recommend him to anyone looking for not only fantastic pictures, but also a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience!Thank you so much Andrej, you’re absolute star!

Andrej was an absolute gem! He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera and that's so important to me, as I was a little nervous at first because it was my first set of headshots. He gave me some great advice and actually explained how to improve the shot; I will most definitely take with me because I honestly couldn't be happier with my shots. He's truly captured something subtle and special in my shots and I know I'll be getting more jobs because of it. I will definitely be shoving my actor friends in your direction for their next set of headshots, I know they won't regret it. Thanks again, Andrej! More...

'Working with Andrej was a fantastic experience. He listened carefully when I talked about my business and the kind of shots I was looking for to fit that image and complement my website. He gave plenty of great advice before and during the session, and went out of his way to get the perfect headshots that I was looking for. The whole process was thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend Andrej's methods as well as his work. Delighted with the results. Thank you so much!'

Q&As

To see the transformation of people in front of my camera from camera-shy, not knowing what to do, to their best versions of themselves for me to capture. It is often a journey to get there as we all are a bit (or more than just a bit!) nervous and self-conscious in front of a camera. But the effort makes it all even better. I coach and guide everyone to make them look competent and yet easy to work with. Confident yet approachable.

I've been always fascinated by human face, different features and what they can convey. Merging this with the need to be represented everywhere people cannot be in person, i.e. their headshot photographs, made sense to offer impactful headshots as a service.

I take it as my responsibility to make people in front of my lens look like one of the best versions of themselves. I guide and coach them to get there, regardless of how camera-shy they may be or if they don't know what to do. Even if they say that they are not photogenic!

I provide services either in my studio in Grantham but I also travel to clients if that's more convenient for them.
