Daniel Allen Biography

I was born and raised in Blackpool, Lancashire. Though I caught the acting bug at a very early age (during a primary school production), I attended Clifton Academy of Dance, Drama & Music, Lytham St. Anne’s, where I further developed my acting skills, before completing the summer course at the National Youth Theatre in 2012. I am about to start my final year of drama school at the Manchester School of Theatre, graduating in summer 2016.

Testimonial – What Daniel said about our Actor Headshot Service

As an actor choosing their first photographer for head shots, I was initially filled with trepidation. After hearing many good things from friends in my drama school I contacted Neilson Reeves Photography. From the phone consultation right up to the shoot, Colin put me at ease straight away. His technical knowledge and down-to-earth character became immediately apparent. Colin created a fun, relaxed and informal working environment that allowed me to feel more confident in front of the camera, and the end results were above and beyond the levels of excellence I could have possibly imagined. I thoroughly enjoyed my morning working with Colin and will be recommending and relying on him for head shots for many years to come.

It is great to be chosen as the first actor headshot photographer for these talented up and coming young people and hope to see more of you guys in the not too distant future. Michael chose our Get Ahead actor headshot package and was so happy with the service he left us and amazing testimonial. Read on to see what Michael said about us and to find out more about the headshot package he opted for

Biography Michael Priestly

Michael Lloyd Priestley is an actor currently studying at Drama School. Growing up in North Wales, Michael was a very shy child encouraged by his parents to join his local am-dram, the Abergele Drama Group…which happened to kick-start an incessant need to show off! From there, Michael joined North Wales’ leading youth theatre company, ‘TiC’, which championed professionalism and gave him an eagerness to embark on a professional career within the arts.

During his time in North Wales, Michael joined Colwyn Bay based company ‘Diverse Arts’ for various educational productions that toured local schools and colleges.

Auditioning for Drama School has been the most rewarding decision Michael ever made, and landed him a place on the BA (Hons) acting course at the Manchester School Of Theatre. Currently in his third year, Michael can’t wait to tackle the industry and doesn’t wish to be doing anything else!

What Michael Said about Actor Headshot Service

As a newbie to this type of thing, the idea of having an afternoon dedicated to your features/personality and having the whole thing captured up-close through a lens is so daunting… But Colin couldn’t be more of a professional! He’s a lovely man! His passion, dedication and knowledge is infectious. His ability to create parallels between his art and an actor’s art gel seamlessly to create shots that I couldn’t be happier with. And he’s always up for a good chat to calm the nerves. I really do hope I get the privilege to work with Colin again!

Testimonial About our Actor Headshot Service

I loved the shoot with Colin. His attention to detail and explanation of his different shots made you realise how passionate and knowledgeable he is about his craft. But all that’s nothing compared to what a great guy he is to work with. Colin’s natural warm demeanour made me feel like I was hanging out with an old mate. It was easily the most fun I’ve had on a photo shoot and certainly the best results. Cheers again Colin!
