First set of headshots for over 20 years

Tina O’Brien is a British actress best known for her role as Sarah-Louise Platt in the long-running soap opera Coronation Street. With over two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, Tina O’Brien has established herself as a talented and versatile actress.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take these actor headshots of Tina because she was impressed with the headshots I took of her beautiful daughter Scarlett.

Chatting with Tina on the phone before the shoot, she told me she had not had a headshot taken in over 20 years. So it was an honour to be trusted to shoot her new ones. And to be honest, I was a little nervous about it. But I am pleased to say the shoot went brilliantly, as Tina is a dream to work with and a great person to be around.

Here’s what Tina said on Instagram, which resulted in over 37,000 likes and nearly 900 positive comments. And the Instagram post was picked up by all the national newspapers:

” Im turning 40 this year and decided it’s time to update my seriously outdated headshots for Spotlight. A massive thank you to @neilson_photo_actors. I’m absolutely over the moon with them. I was quite nervous going to the shoot; it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything like this. Colin is such a lovely, warm, chatty guy. He put me at ease the second I met him; I genuinely feel like I’ve known him for years!! This isn’t an advert; I’m just super pleased. Thank you so much, Colin, you really understand what an actor is looking for in their headshot, and I think your lighting is heaven. “
