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.

Testimonial: What Joe Tracini said about our Service

I’m so pleased that I got in touch with Colin for my Headshots. His stuff stood out from the rest as all of his shots were original, bold and effective. I was with him for 2 hours and had such a relaxed, fun afternoon in a perfect environment for getting some natural pictures at an incredibly affordable rate. Nothing was rushed, and Colin was constantly asking my opinion and thoughts on what he’d shot so far. The pictures I ended up with are the best I’ve ever had, and they look like me (some might not see that as a positive)! I’d recommend him to anyone. Thanks Colin! Hugs etc.

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!

Testimonial

After searching for months for the right photographer and getting no where, a friend recommended Colin and after just one look into his work I knew he was prefect.

I was very apprehensive because I had never had Head shots taken before but from the moment I met him he put me at ease making me feel comfortable and confident. My session with Colin was amazing, I found myself constantly smiling and laughing with him. He truly captured my personality within each of my photos by taking his time to get to know me as not only a person but a performer. I Couldn’t recommend him enough and will most definitely be using his services again.
