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 made what can be quite a stressful experience, fun. His easy going and honest approach meant it was very much a collaborative process; I had a great selection to choose from – this man is a lighting genius!
I appreciated the time he took to make sure I was happy with the results and if you need a quick turn around, he is very efficient – my shots were ready within a few days.
In short, I would definitely recommend Colin Boulter if you’re looking for new headshots – London results for Northern prices!

Featured Actor Katie Quinn
/in Actors Headshots Photography /by adminAbout this Actor Headshot Shoot
Katie came over from Huddersfield for the Actor Headshot shoot and chose our Heading Out package with Hair and Make Up by my amazing Media Make up artist Rebecca Tupman. With somebody as pretty as Katie it is really easy to show the casting director her natural girl next door look but we wanted to show a different side of Katie so for the final images we removed all make up and used heavy shadowing and cold light to show Katie’s potential for more gritty roles.

Testimonial About Actor Headshot Service
I had a great time working with Colin and Rebecca! I was nervous about my first headshot session but from the moment we met they made me feel so comfortable and at ease, as if I had known them for years. Throughout the whole shoot we didn’t stop laughing and Colin was constantly giving me tips about what to do in order to get the best headshots. Colin’s passion and energy throughout the whole shoot was infectious. He knows what looks good and there is no length he won’t go to in order to achieve perfection. I cannot recommend him enough!

Testimonial About our Actor headshot Service
The Shoot with Colin was brilliant, he has a personality to put you at ease and a passion to create a set of photographs that are right for you.
Nothing was too much trouble and encouraged you to play around and try out different looks and outfits. His knowledge of lighting and how he explained what he was doing meant you knew you were in good hands.
I couldn’t recommend Colin more.
The headshots look great!
