Actor headshot photography is a type of portrait photography that focuses specifically on capturing an actor’s head and shoulders. Actors typically use these photographs to showcase their looks and represent themselves in the entertainment industry, primarily for casting purposes. They are used by casting directors, agents, and other industry professionals to get a first impression of the actor’s appearance and help determine if they would be suitable for a particular role.

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!

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!
