Your headshot is the first thing a casting director sees. Before your showreel, before your CV, before they read a single credit — they see your face. That image has seconds to say: this person is worth meeting.
At our photography studio, we have photographed hundreds of actors, from LAMDA and RADA graduates preparing their first professional portfolio to established performers updating their casting pack. We understand exactly what casting directors and agents expect — and we shoot to those standards.
A great actor headshot is not simply a flattering portrait. It has a specific job to do: communicate your type, your range, and your readiness to work.
Your session begins with a brief consultation — Bill will discuss your type, the roles you are going for, and which looks to prioritise. You will not be left to figure out your own expression in front of a camera.
Most actor headshot sessions run 1–2 hours and include 2–3 outfit changes. You will leave with high-resolution files delivered same day, retouched and ready to upload to your casting profiles.
The studio is based in Dalston, East London (E8 3QE) — 10 minutes from Shoreditch, well connected from central London.
From booking your photoshoot to delivery, we make it seamless.

If you are preparing your drama school audition portfolio or graduating and need your first professional set, we offer the same quality and direction as our professional packages. Your headshot needs to compete with graduates from every major London drama school — it needs to be exceptional from day one.
Browse recent actor headshots from our London studio. From emerging talent to established performers — Spotlight profiles, agent submissions, and casting call images.
Spotlight requires JPEG files, minimum 300dpi, with specific aspect ratios. We deliver all files in Spotlight-compatible format as standard — no additional work required on your end.
Yes. Most actors book our Standard or Pro package specifically to get multiple looks in one session — typically a commercial (warm, approachable) set and a character (edgier, more intense) set.
You are welcome to come camera-ready or arrange your own makeup artist. For most actors, natural makeup works best. We can recommend makeup artists who specialise in headshot prep if needed.
Your edited files are delivered the same day — typically within 4-5 hours of your session finishing. We know how quickly castings move, so same-day turnaround is standard on every booking.
Avoid heavy patterns or branding. Solid colours, especially in mid-tones, photograph well. Bring 2–3 outfit options — the guide in your booking confirmation includes a full styling checklist.
