A headshot needs to be striking and flattering, but it also has to be capital ‘Y’ you, which is what my work is all about. The best compliment I regularly receive is that actors look in my headshots like they do in real life. I am an actor myself, so I understand this game from both angles. I know how unnerving it can feel to be yourself in front of a camera, and I do everything I can to put my clients at ease and to help get the best out of them. My sessions are very relaxed and friendly and they last as long as it takes to capture something we both feel excited about.

Pricing is £350 per session. Extra shots are £20 each.
I do not do a student rate. Being a student is only one of many, life-long reasons you might be skint as an actor, so it's only fair.
If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please get in touch via the form on my 'about' page.
DURING THE SHOOT
- No rush, no time limit. Sessions normally last around 3 hours all in, but it varies from person to person. Breaks for tea/cigarettes/beard maintenance/peace talks with your hair etc are fine with me! You're not on a conveyor belt, I'm not rushing to shoot anyone else. This is your time.
- As many clothing changes as you like. If in doubt, bring it all! We'll try various options and see what works best for you.
- I shoot indoors in natural light. This means we are prone to the weather! If it's a really dark and dismal day, we'll reschedule – it's worth it for the good light.
AFTER THE SHOOT
- Online Gallery. I weed out any unsuitable shots (talking, blinking, duplicates, focus issues) so that every shot on the contact sheet is a good option, which usually leaves 300-500 shots. These are then uploaded to a password-protected online contact sheet.
- Free Edited Shortlist (optional). If you're unsure how some images might turn out, I will fully edit a shortlist of up to 4 shots, and put them into a separate shortlist gallery to help you make your final choices. Come all ye indecisive people! I sympathise!
- The session price includes 2 retouched images. Further shots are £20 each. Once you've chosen your final images, I will retouch them and send you high-res as well as web-friendly versions in both colour and black and white. I don’t arrange prints myself, but if you need hard copies I would point you in the direction of Visualeyes, who are a lovely bunch.
