What our customer say

Read a small yet glowing sample of our many customer reviews from well-known actors and those just starting out.

3 months on from my headshots with Colin, I’ve been taken on by a top agency and have seen an increase in castings and paid work, including lifestyle modelling!

Brian Sill Actor

Colin is incredible. Many actors will tell you that they are at their most uncomfortable with headshots/stills – there’s no walking or talking and you’re having to play yourself… never easy. With Colin, I have rarely felt so at ease!

Reece DinsdaleActor - Writer - Director

At all times I was made to feel that my input and ideas were integral to the photo shoot. Colin throughout the session showed me the taken pictures while we discussed how best to improve them. I even had a say on the choice of music we listened to!

Ian Puleston-Davies Actor - Writer - Director

My first proper headshot session for over 15 years, as I always feel so uncomfortable with them….but from the moment I first spoke with Colin over the phone I felt at ease and confident he would be able to get the results I wanted.

About the Shoot

The session last approximately 2 hours on average, but can be a little longer with makeup and hair option. Makeup artist/stylist stays for duration of shoot.
Some of the session time is spent looking at clothing and agreeing a shoot plan.
This is a 2 look, 2 background and lighting sets and lots of shots taken to achieve 2 different audition winning versions of you.
You may have visited other headshot photographers websites, offering lots of changes and looks. This often means you change your expression, clothing or hair but they don’t change lighting, location or set ups. Meaning all your pictures look and feel the same, the only difference being your expression and clothing.

Actors looking for a more dramatic theatrical style headshot photography should opt for our Get Ahead package

Pre shoot help and advice

All bookings get an opportunity to speak with the photographer before the shoot.
At this point we discuss your career to date, your casting goals and reasons for new headshots.
This helps us to formulate a shoot plan together and advise you about what clothing your should bring.
Customers who have chosen our makeup and hair option will receive advice about preparing skin and hair
Important – all customers are advised to select images from our site they like. This helps us to understand the kind of light we need to use, natural or studio. For customers who prefer to have a natural light shot within their package, we will spend time monitoring the light and weather a few days before the shoot. And if we think we cannot achieve our trademark quality displayed on our website, we happily offer the option to rearrange or shoot in studio.

After the Shoot

All useable images taken will be uploaded a secure online proofing gallery that is much more efficient than contact sheets and doesn’t waste paper.
The online gallery can be shared with agents and whoever else you wish to help you select your final images.
Each person who receives a link to proofing gallery can log in and build sets of their favourites and this information is fed back to you.

At this point you will have the option to purchase additional images taken during the shoot for your casting goals or even personal/family reasons.

Headshot delivery

All headshot images you chose will receive standard retouching
Retouched images will be uploaded to our internet cloud where you can download your headshot photography in different file sizes for easy emailing, sharing online and printing.
With your permission we actively promote your new headshot images through our huge social media network in collaboration with you.

The headshot portraits you download in high resolution will print up to about 30 inches should you want create a poster or any reason you may need large print.
