The ‘Performance’ actors headshot package is a two hour photoshoot for capturing a range of looks for your acting portfolio.
The session can be broken up to incorporate both in-studio and outdoor headshots (weather dependent) and more time for you to vary your styles, for example: 3-6 clothing changes; Hair up/hair down; Mid-session shave, full/half-length shots and headshots.
Shots can be reviewed through the shoot to make sure we’re capturing the images you’re looking to achieve.
Session times: 10:00 or 13:00 weekdays.
Spread the cost with 3 or 6 monthly instalments. See here for details.
The Performance Package is also available to book as a shared photoshoot with one hour and three edited images per person for just £150 each.

What to expect
Before your shoot
Once you’ve paid the deposit, you will receive an email confirming the date/time of your booking, plus details of where to come and tips for preparing for the shoot.
If you are unsure of what tops to bring, bring as many options as you like and we can decide on which to use during the shoot.
If you have an agent, please discuss with them beforehand if they have any specific requirements for your headshots, such as top choices, background colours etc. I am also happy to discuss this with them directly if you would like to pass on my contact details.
During your shoot
Whist the background choices add to the mood of the image the most important thing is that we capture your character. Think about a few subtle expression variations to use.
If combining both in-studio and outdoor shots, I recommend 80 minutes in-studio and 40 minutes outside.
In-studio session: The studio equipment will be set up prior to your arrival. The lighting and backdrops can be varied a few times during the shoot to give the images different feel/moods.
Outside session: After you arrive we will take a short walk to the location I use for the headshot photoshoot. There isn’t a private area to change at the outdoor location, so we can pop back to the studio for you to change if you want to vary what you wear through the shoot.
After your shoot
I endeavour to have your proof images uploaded to your private online gallery within 24 hours of the shoot. This usually contains around 90 images,
Once you have chosen the six images you would like edited, they will be completed and uploaded dropbox within 7-10 working days (Monday-Friday).
If you have an agent, share the gallery with them for advice on which image to choose.
For a quick turnaround on all six edits, I can provide an express service for £50. This can be paid by bank transfer after the shoot, or by card on the day of your shoot. If you choose the express service, all six edited images will be completed and returned to you within two working days (Monday to Friday) of your selection.

Unedited images are not supplied. For more information please see FAQ.
Add-ons
One Extra: Add an additional edited image to your package at the time of booking, for just £15.
Additional retouched images purchased after the shoot are £25 each.
Sharing is caring: Share the Performance Package with a friend and save £30 each, compared to booking the Standard Package separately. You’ll each recieve an hour photoshoot and three edited images for just £150 per person. Both sessions must be within the 2 hour time-slot for the Performance Package. Terms and Conditions apply to both sitters. Full photoshoot fee of £300 is payable if one is unable to attend with less than 24 hours notice. If one cancels with more than 24 hours notice, the session fee will revert to £180 for the Standard Package or remain £300 if you’d like to continue with the Performance Package. After booking this add-on, please contact me with your friends contact details (name/mobile number/email).
Help me pick: Sometimes it can be hard to be objective when looking at pictures of yourself and therefor, if you would like help whittling down the images in the contact sheets, choose this add-on. I’ll then spend one to two hours looking though the proof images to recommend 10-20 shots in which look your best and/or show off your character range. From there you can make the final selection for editing.
48 hour express editing: £50 in addition to full package price.
With express editing, once you have let me know your choices, your images will be edited and returned to you within 48 hours, rather than the standard 5-10 working days for this package. This only includes the number of edited images the package includes. Additional edited images may take longer.
Extended Image Storage: £15
All images from your photoshoot are stored for 6 months. If you would like to extend this to 12 months, select ‘Extended Image Storage’ when booking.
For more information on storage, see section 7 of the Terms & Conditions here.
Weekend surcharge: £100 in addition to full package price.
If you would like a weekend session, please contact me to arrange booking.
Travel to your location: £300 in addition to full package price (London Zones 1-4).
For locations outside of London Zones 1-4, please request a quote.
Please note that a shoot outside of my studio, the photos may vary based in the size of the room, ambient light etc.
