My 9 year old daughter had a headshot photography session with Thom today. He was absolutely amazing with her, made her laugh and so full of energy, he worked tirelessly through our session and Lyra responded positively to him. He has a natural rapport with children and I can’t wait to see the photos! Highly recommend Thom Axon photography More...

The atmosphere is nice and the appearance of the food is good. the waitress and waiters’ attitude are nice. However, the food doesn’t taste as good as it appears and some of them are not worth the price at all. The only food we were satisfied with was pizza.The sauce on the steak didn’t impress us at all and the standard of the steaks we ordered were not consistent - two of them were okay while one of them having more fat than meat and they still charged the same price after we informed them.The seafood paella was terrible because the rice was soaked with all the sauce and was too soggy when it arrived and the bread on the side were stale.

Thom is simply a superb photographer who has such a skill and refreshing creativity. I can highly recommend his services to anyone for whatever reason!

I had a great headshot session with Thom last week. He made me feel completely at ease throughout and gave great direction for poses to help get the best possible shots. He also ensured we tried out lots of different looks, backgrounds etc. so I’d have a varied portfolio. Definitely recommended! More...

I've had a few a couple of headshots done before but Thom really put me at ease like no other. All the smiles you see in his photos are genuine, it's difficult NOT to smile in Thom's presence. Amazing location too and someone who really knows what he's doing. See you in a couple of years Thom! More...

Never had a serious (?) photo session before so I was a bit apprehensive...I needn't have been. Thom is such an easy person to be with that any qualms and nervousness soon went. I think the photos that he took of me reflect the happiness of the whole experience and the quality is genuinely terrific. I cannot recommend Thom highly enough - definitely not your run-of-the-mill headshots. Outstanding! More...

We would just like to thank Photography by Thom Axon for his AMAZING photos of La Cave.
His artful capture and editing of the images has certainly helped us get established during our first year of trading.
Not only do the pictures show off our wonderful food and wine but they also cleverly enable us to convey our unique ambience via social media.

I have had the pleasure of working with Thom professionally twice now. As a theatre maker he is the exact person you want standing on the other side of the camera. He makes you feel comfortable and enables you to be free which is what you want whilst you're having your headshots taken or performing. I wouldn't think of using anybody else for this work and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a badass photographer. More...

I had a photoshoot with Thom Axon last week. This was a gift for my 30th birthday…
Until this point, I can only say that I rather disliked having my photo taken.
I was ALWAYS nervous and would be guaranteed to pull a stupid face, squint in the light or blink (EVERY time!)
So you can imagine that I was rather apprehensive about my shoot and altogether surprised at my boyfriend's choice of gift!! However, a few months later, I've plucked up the courage and booked the date...
Somehow, between arriving and Thom explaining what we were going to do he managed to get me to relax. He asked me what I would like to achieve in the session, my answer was quite simply – a nice photo of me to look back on later in life.
He explained how his equipment worked, what we were going to do and distracted me with little details. You can tell when you meet Thom that this is his passion. I felt as though I wanted to get a good photo as much for his sake as for my own, how could you not want to let this talented guy show off his skills…? We had such a laugh, messing around with different lighting and poses and somehow, Thom managed to find this sexy, confident woman who apparently lives in ME?!
Thank you Thom. You’ve really helped me to feel good about myself and it was so much fun!! And thank you to Andy for the thoughtful gift which I will look back on with a smile for the rest of my days...
These are a few of the results… x

Thom is a skilled photographer who will share some great tips and tricks with you, to get the shots you need. When you meet him, you can almost hear the cogs whirring inside his head as he starts imagining different styles, angles and compositions. Crucially, his enthusiasm and imagination is balanced with good communication and thoughtfulness, so you're both aiming for the same results. It pays to get some professional profile photos – Thom's your man. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Making it an open and collaborative process goes a long way to creating a great image. A strong previsualisation of what we’re aiming for is also an important part of the process.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
How will this photo/ project best serve you? What are you trying to convey with this project?
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new people at various stages within their story.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I saw a need for great headshots in the South West. Having many friends that work within the acting industry I set out to get them the best headshots available!
Why should our clients choose you?
Working with casting agents, actors and companies I stay on top of the industry standards for headshots.
I work with each of my clients to ensure that together we can curate the perfect headshot for their needs.
