Testimonial

After searching for months for the right photographer and getting no where, a friend recommended Colin and after just one look into his work I knew he was prefect.

I was very apprehensive because I had never had Head shots taken before but from the moment I met him he put me at ease making me feel comfortable and confident. My session with Colin was amazing, I found myself constantly smiling and laughing with him. He truly captured my personality within each of my photos by taking his time to get to know me as not only a person but a performer. I Couldn’t recommend him enough and will most definitely be using his services again.

Testimonial : What Lorraine said about our Service

Having spent almost twelve months trying to find the right photographer for my shoot I saw one of Colin’s photos and just had to find him. My agent wanted a softer look however this was not being captured on photographs. I knew instantly Colin was the best photographer to achieve the look I needed. Having chatted to him on the phone his professionalism shone through. On the day I was made to feel a million dollars and the shoot was really relaxed and fun. With great enthusiasm Colin used natural light and styling to achieve different looks that even surprised me. I have done many shots with many photographers but Colin’s pictures are truly the best. He is a very charismatic and an extremely talented guy. I won’t be letting anyone else do my headshots from now on.

Testimonial – What Stephane said about Performer Headshot and Portrait Service

Being a classical musician, like actors, it is not always down to perform, but also, being able to sell yourself. And for that, you need a good portfolio of headshot photography, featuring yourself and your instrument.

I was highly recommended to Colin, by a colleague of mine in the Halle Orchestra. Straight away, when you meet Colin, you feel at ease and so comfortable. Somehow, he makes you feel like you always been friend. He is a perfectionist and really wants the best for your photo shoot. I felt in safe hands, and knew straight away that these will be the best headshot photos I will ever have.

I now can’t wait to promote myself!

Testimonial About Actor Headshot Service

I had a great time working on my headshots with Colin. I was made to feel very comfortable and confident in the time we spent working on my headshots. My previous headshots had dated , over priced and not really what I wanted. I was relieved that Colin took the time to get to know what I was about and what kind of thing I wanted to get across in my photos. Many Thanks. Chris.
