Commercial photography refers to photography in a professional and business context, where the purpose is to sell or promote a product, service, or brand. Commercial photographers create images for various applications, including advertising, product catalogues, annual reports, magazines, websites, and other marketing materials.
Commercial photography can encompass a variety of styles, from high-end fashion and product photography to documentary-style advertising photography. The goal of commercial photography is to visually communicate a message, whether it is to sell a product, convey a brand image, or tell a story.
Commercial photographers need to have a good understanding of lighting, composition, and post-production techniques and the ability to work with clients and art directors to achieve the desired outcome. They must also be able to work efficiently and effectively, often under tight deadlines, while maintaining a high level of quality in their work.

Google Review – What Lucienne said about our service

Having Headshots done can sometime feel at bit like a strange, alien process where you don’t really know what to do because you are not a supermodel! But I had such a brilliant shoot with Colin and Rebecca, it felt like we were like a team on a mission which was great, any nerves I had disappeared when we started shooting the first shot.

I got great guidance through every second in front of the camera, constant feedback and support. Having a nice long chat on the phone and in person before about what my casting types are at the moment and what I feel my strengths and natural energy is was great because I knew exactly what we were aiming for in each set up and could have fun imagining that’s who I was!

Colin’s lighting is a thing of wonder and I think he got some really different looks of me.The biggest plus was that I was never worrying about how I looked or what my face might be doing!!! Colin knew that at one point, him singing a sultry Macy Gray Christmas song was necessary to get me in the perfect mood for that shot!

I’m so glad that I made that extra investment of having Rebecca doing my make-up, it really does make all the difference. She was fabulous, made me so relaxed and helped so much with ideas and clothing choices as well as make-up and my big hair! She really does do what you are comfortable with so that you feel like you, but on the best day possible!

Thank you both for such a wonderful shoot, I was in such safe and expert hands!

Google Review – What Arafa said about our service

I’ve had many headshots over the years and I can honestly say this was the best. Colin really got what I was about and wanted, the shoot was fun and focused. He takes the time to get to know you and being an actor himself really understands what you need. Results = my strongest headshots ever! Plus at a very realistic price which doesn’t reflect the amazing quality! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get headshots either for the first time, or looking to refresh.

Featured Actor Headshot Photography Declan O’connor

Happy to be chosen to shoot headshots for another talented actor from Manchester School of Theatre Declan O’connor. Like most of the guys at MST Declan chose our very popular Get Ahead actor headshot photography package and here is the images we made together.

Biography Declan O’connor

Declan was born and bread in the Ribble Valley and after attending Runshaw College to complete a BTEC Extended Diploma in the Professional Performance Programme, he is now in his third and final year of a BA(Hons) acting degree at the Manchester School of Theatre.

He has had a passion for acting from a very early age attending amateur drama schools throughout his adolescent years, performing in a variety of roles in numerous and diverse amateur productions. Here he gained the confidence and determination that built the foundations of his acting. Declan has been lucky enough to work in several professional performances whilst at Manchester School of theatre which include, Presenting in Benjamin Brittens the Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra with the internationally acclaimed Halle Orchestra, as well as performing in The Oresteia at the HOME MCR theatre.

Testimonial – Here is what Declan said about our service

As this was the first time I have ever had professional headshots taken, the whole prospect of having my picture taken under bright lights was rather daunting. The thought of having your whole persona captured in one click of a button seemed near impossible. From the get go, Colin put me at ease with his charm and professionalism. His dedication and passion is shown through his work. He is a true perfectionist, constantly tweaking lights and lenses to capture that perfect picture. Above all this, he makes you relax with his friendly attitude and chilled out persona. I hope to work with Colin again in the near future.
