What our customer say

Read a small yet glowing sample of our many customer reviews from well-known actors and those just starting out.

Brian Sill

3 months on from my headshots with Colin, I’ve been taken on by a top agency and have seen an increase in castings and paid work, including lifestyle modelling!

Brian Sill Actor
Reece Dinsdale

Colin is incredible. Many actors will tell you that they are at their most uncomfortable with headshots/stills – there’s no walking or talking and you’re having to play yourself… never easy. With Colin, I have rarely felt so at ease!

Reece DinsdaleActor - Writer - Director
Ian Puleston-Davies

At all times I was made to feel that my input and ideas were integral to the photo shoot. Colin throughout the session showed me the taken pictures while we discussed how best to improve them. I even had a say on the choice of music we listened to!

Ian Puleston-Davies Actor - Writer - Director
Robert Beck

My first proper headshot session for over 15 years, as I always feel so uncomfortable with them….but from the moment I first spoke with Colin over the phone I felt at ease and confident he would be able to get the results I wanted.

About the Shoot

  • The session last approximately 2 hours  on average, but can be a little longer with makeup and hair option. Makeup artist/stylist stays for duration of shoot.
  • Some of the session time is spent looking at clothing and agreeing a shoot plan.
  • This is a 2 look, 2 background and lighting sets and lots of shots taken to achieve 2 different audition winning versions of you.
  • You may have visited other headshot photographers websites, offering lots of  changes and looks. This often means you change your expression, clothing or hair but they don’t change lighting, location or set ups. Meaning all your pictures look and feel the same, the only difference being your expression and clothing.

Actors looking for a more dramatic theatrical style headshot photography should opt for our Get Ahead package
