Headshot Photographers
Actor’s Headshots are much more than pretty pictures. A professional headshot photo is an essential marketing and promotional tool for an actor and worth every penny of the cost.
Your headshot shows you at your natural best and should create an instant rapport with a casting director.
Our headshot photographers use finely crafted posing techniques and lighting setups to make your personality shine through in your headshot photos.
Our prices are affordable and offer excellent value for money. We also provide, for an extra cost, professional makeup – often a good idea for both MEN and women.
We also provide digital retouching – from simple touch-ups for the removal of blemishes to full creative manipulation of images and backgrounds.
Preparation
It helps our photographers enormously if you have done a bit of research on the ‘must have’ business poses that you really like.
The photographer will normally ask you to turn your body 45 degrees to the camera. Your head should then turn towards the camera.
- Typically, the headshot will be cropped to head and shoulders
- 3/4 quarter body profile with head turned towards the camera
- Eye contact and engaging smile
- Change the angle of head tilt from shot to shot
When having your photos taken, imagine that your best customer has just walked through the door.
The resulting headshot should portray a friendly, approachable, smiling individual.

Retouching
Retouching can be a tricky and controversial subject, especially in the context of promotional headshots. The key is striking a balance between enhancing your features and maintaining authenticity. Here’s how I would break down your message
The Cost of Retouching
Light Retouching starts at around £10. For more advanced retouching, especially in creative work where complex manipulations are involved, the cost can go up significantly. The more intensive the retouching (removing blemishes, softening wrinkles, changing backgrounds, etc.), the higher the price tag.
Why Retouching Matters
A promotional headshot serves one main purpose: to make a great first impression. In today’s digital world, that means presenting yourself at your best. It’s all about optimizing how you appear on camera while staying true to who you are
