A few weeks back Actor Clara James paid a visit to the studio for some updated head shots and portraits.
It was great to finally meet her and of course shoot new headshots and portraits for her actor portfolio.
For headshot sessions I always start with a chat and getting to know session, we discuss looks, outfits and the results wanted before heading on set and starting to shoot the first few frames. Sometimes the first 10 mins of shooting is the warmup and other times we just jump straight in. Clara was at home in front of the lens and a joy to shoot.

Business Mentor - Head Shots (Kevin Colley)
Kevin contacted me whilst looking for a photographer to shoot his new head shots for a business he was starting. That business is https://kcbusinessmentoring.co.uk/
We talked initially over the phone and some via email to narrow down a brief and requirements for the head shots. The heads were to be clean and simple whilst allowing Kevin to be himself.
Actor Profile Head Shots - Gavin
Gavin got in touch for some updated actor head shots. These would be used on social media and sent to agents for castings.
I have to say Gavin was extremely comfortable in front of the camera and made it a breeze for me. You would think that an actor would be camera comfortable right? Sure on a set with video camera but it’s a different game/pace for stills and it take a little bit of a different approach.
Still Life: Coloured Matchsticks
It was nice being able to spend half a day in the studio on the first day of 2019. I was shooting a few flat lay images for my food book but had a little spare time at the end so put this together.
I am definitely developing a thing for colour and I can see it being used in a lot of my work in 2019.
Thanks for reading.
