1. Knowing What You Want: To get the most out of your headshot session there are some things you need to consider: Why do you want a headshot? What will you use it for? What do you want it to look like? Start discussing with your photographer what you are hoping to achieve. 2. Deciding on Indoor or Outdoor: For my longer sessions, we can often do a little of both natural light, and studio light headshots. For shorter sessions, […]
I truly believe in the importance of professional headshots and portraits. It isn’t just famous people who require a professional image, and it’s not just big brands who can utilise professional photography. Headshots are a great way to represent the team members within a business, they can be used on Linkedin, get more casting calls for actors, and show an individual’s personal brand. Whilst you don’t need to be famous to get your portrait taken, it is always interesting to look at the […]
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of photography. For portraiture, there are a few types of lighting that are popular, and knowing what type of lighting you like is a great start. Below, let’s look at some examples of different portraiture lighting, and some of the terms used to describe them. A professional photographer should be trained in manipulating lighting to achieve something that not only creates mood, but suits your look precisely. You can see varied lighting […]

I’m a big believer of having strong headshots. Of […]
It is a hard choice to make between having studio photos taken, or natural light and outdoor photos taken. Both produce beautiful results but sometimes one is more suitable for you than the other. Studio Light: Studio photography is not just cheesy family portraiture on a bright white background. In the studio, your photographer has a lot of control. They can shape the light, where it goes, what shadows there are, and how much contrast there is. It is also […]

You will make a couple of choices when deciding what headshot session to book with me. I offer both studio and natural light outdoor headshots, and I offer a range of packages to suit different budgets and requirements.

So You Want To Be An Actor: I admire actors. I love watching brilliant performances, and I can appreciate them even more because I am a really terrible actor myself. Do not try and get me to act, because it will be awful. So for those with passion, talent and drive to push themselves in an incredible field, I really admire them. Like many of the areas in arts, this field is competitive. You have to take classes, and attend […]
Photo Retouching: When you book a session with me or purchase an additional image from your session, your final files will be retouched. By retouching I don’t mean plastic skin or zero clarity. In the case of headshots and portraiture, the outcome is for you to be recognisable and familiar. A bit of additional retouching is to make sure you look like you, but on your best day. Simple things like a few cropping adjustments, a bit of contrast added […]
Building a personal brand is something we should all be thinking about.

You Are The Face Of Your Business, and Your Brand: Whether you love looking at photos of yourself or not, you have to accept that you are the face of your own personal brand. Personal branding includes how you […]
