Testimonial About our  Actor Headshot service

“Nowadays everyone who picks up a camera thinks they’re a photographer. And every photographer thinks they can take head shots. So I had taken time scouring the web and talking to others in the industry, for a good head shot photographer. From the moment I spoke to Colin on the phone I knew I’d made the right decision. When it came time for my shoot it felt more like two mates hanging out. Some music on, having a good life. It was a great tool to help me relax, so the camera could capture the real me. Don’t be mistaken into thinking this was some sort of boys social club meet on my time. Colin was busy working away throughout. A master of lighting techniques. I felt totally in control of the session and what I wanted in the head shots. Colin is in an elite collective of photographers who really can do head shots. Top bloke, top head shot photographer!” (Colin Boulter)

Testimonial – What Kris said about us

I was recommended to Colin by my agent Natalie (Payne Management)  Headshots are all about capturing you and what you sell as an actor and Colin completely understands this. Colin is meticulous in getting the brief right and his passion, energy and enthusiasm is infectious. I felt totally relaxed through-out the shoot as you feel like you’ve known Colin for years.

I was sent the link within 12 hours of the shoot taking place and it took me and my agent three days to choose the final selection because they were simply phenomenal.  Thank you!

If you want to work with someone who is a perfectionist, who will encourage you, deliver brilliant results and FUN then get in touch with Colin.

Testimonial about our Actor Headshot Photography Service

Colin is not only an incredible photographer, but an absolute blast to shoot with! I was at his studio a whole afternoon and I never stopped laughing. He makes you feel comfortable and gives great direction. As an actress you’d think I love having my photo taken – well I don’t!! But with Colin it was fun! He chatted about everything and why he was taking a photograph in a particular way. His amazing eye for light and colour brings your essence out through the shot, giving you a headshot that not only looks great, but speaks to what makes you uniquely you ! Nothing was too much trouble and importantly, Colin never rushed you if you needed to make changes with hair and makeup! I love my new Spotlight pictures! Can’t recommend him enough!
