I really enjoyed doing this headshot photography Guildford session last week. One of my specialities is actor’s headshot photography, particularly children. I love getting different expressions and working on capturing the real you. I often work through different emotions with the actors, thinking about different things to get a variety of expressions. For example I might ask someone to ‘think of a secret’ or imagine ‘eating their favourite food’! I had a lovely time meeting Tom last week for his headshot photography. This was for Guildford School of Acting (GSA) kids agency. We were so pleased with the final portraits and I am sure Tom will go far.
For Tom, and all my aspiring actors, my aim is to help you reach your highest casting potential.
What happens
I tend to do the headshot sessions in the garden of my home studio. Although I am happy to discuss a location of your choice. There are some interesting backgrounds and it enables us to be comfortable and relaxed. We get to know each other which helps me bring out your true personality. I like to work with you to produce a stand out portrait that will get any Director’s attention!
The session lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, during which time you are welcome to have a clothes change if you like. When we feel like we have the shots we need, we go into the studio and then look through them together on a large screen. After you can decide which are your favourites and I then edit them in front of you so you have control over the level of editing/retouching you may wish to have. If on the day, you find it too tricky to decide on your favourites, (quite often!) I can do a gallery for your agent to help you choose. The session costs £150 (gallery is an additional £25), which includes 3 digital files ready for you to use for casting directors, agents, Spotlight, social media, websites or for printing etc.
Do get in contact for more information or to chat, many thanks.
