Why Choose This Package?+
A Portfolio That Works Across Every Platform
Twelve edited images gives you enough range to cover everything: classic casting headshots for Spotlight and agency submissions, expressive character portraits for IMDb and Backstage, and polished images for your personal website, social media profiles, and press use. Instead of booking multiple shorter sessions over time, you walk away from one session with a complete, cohesive portfolio.
Creative Freedom You Won't Get in a Shorter Session
Four hours gives us the space to experiment. We can shift between studio lighting and natural light, work through a range of backdrops, try different moods and expressions, and incorporate props or furniture for more editorial-style portraits. This is where the magic happens: the shots you didn't plan for but end up being the strongest in your portfolio.
Time to Settle In and Be Yourself
Shorter sessions can feel rushed, especially if you're not used to being in front of the camera. With four hours, there's no pressure. We review images together on a monitor throughout the shoot, adjust as we go, and build momentum. Most clients find their best expressions come in the second half of the session, once they've fully relaxed into it.
A Smart Investment in Your Career
At £590 for 12 edited images, each final image costs under £50. Compare that to booking three separate one-hour sessions over the coming year, and you'll spend more, get fewer images, and miss out on the creative variety that a longer session makes possible. For actors serious about their visual presence, this package delivers the strongest return.

WHAT TO EXPECT+
Before your shoot
Once you've paid either the deposit or the full amount, 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 clothes to bring, bring as many options as you like and we can decide on which to use during the shoot.
During your shoot
The session is broken into two segments: 10am to 12pm, then a 30-minute lunch break, and 12:30pm to 2:30pm.
We start with headshot setups and build from there into half-length and full-length portraits, adapting the lighting, backgrounds, and styling as we go. It can take 15 to 45 minutes to position and adjust lighting for different looks, so expect around four distinct setups across the session.
Images are displayed on a monitor throughout, so you can see how things are shaping up and we can adjust direction together.
After your shoot
I endeavour to have the proof images uploaded to your online gallery within 24 hours of the session. Once you have chosen the images you would like edited, they will be completed and either sent as an email attachment or uploaded to Dropbox within 10-14 business days. For a quick turnaround on all edits, I offer an express service for £50. This can be chosen as an add-on when booking, and all edited images will be completed and returned within two working days (Monday to Friday) of your selection.

Unedited images are not supplied. For more information please see FAQ.

ADD-ONS
Help Me Pick | £30+
Sometimes it can be hard to be objective when looking at pictures of yourself and therefore, 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+
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 7-10 business days (Monday-Friday). 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 £15.
