Performance Actor Headshot Package
The ‘Performance’ actor headshot package is a comprehensive, two-hour photoshoot designed to capture a wide range of looks for your acting portfolio. Perfect for actors looking to showcase their versatility, this session provides ample time to create multiple styles that reflect the different roles you can play.
Variety of Styles and Looks
During the session, you’ll have the flexibility to make 3-6 clothing changes, experiment with hair up or hair down, and even perform a mid-session shave if needed. The package also includes the option to capture both full/half-length shots and traditional headshots, ensuring you leave with a diverse set of high-quality images that truly showcase your range as an actor.
Real-Time Image Review
Throughout the shoot, you’ll have the opportunity to review the shots as we go, ensuring we’re on track to achieve the images you’re looking for. This allows for any adjustments to be made in real-time, giving you full control over the final outcome of your headshots.
Session Times
The Performance Package is available on weekdays, with session start times at 10:00 or 13:00, allowing flexibility for your schedule.
Looking for a more cost-effective option? The Performance Package can also be booked as a shared photoshoot, where two actors can split the session. Each person receives one hour of shoot time and three edited images for just £150 each—an excellent value for actors seeking professional headshots on a budget.

What to Expect from Your Actor Headshot Session
Before Your Shoot
Once your deposit is paid, you’ll receive an email confirming the date and time of your booking. This email will also include details on how to find the studio and essential tips to help you prepare for your actor headshot session.
When it comes to wardrobe, if you’re unsure what tops to bring, feel free to bring as many options as you’d like. We can decide together during the shoot which choices will work best for your headshots.
If you have an agent, it’s a good idea to discuss with them beforehand if they have any specific headshot requirements, such as preferences for top choices or background colours. I’m also happy to communicate with your agent directly if you’d like to provide my contact details.
During Your Shoot
While the choice of background plays a role in setting the mood of the images, the key focus will be on capturing your unique character. Consider preparing a few subtle expression variations to use during the session to give your headshots more depth.
If you’re combining both in-studio and outdoor shots, this total shoot time will be 80 minutes as my outside location is a 15-20 minute walk from the studio. I recommend spending 60 minutes in the studio and 40 minutes on location. Alternatively the whole shoot can be either in-studio, or a shorter session outside.
In-Studio Session: The studio will be fully prepared before your arrival. We can adjust the lighting and backdrops a few times during the shoot to create a variety of moods and looks.
Outdoor Session: Before booking, please contact me to let me know you’d like the session to be outside. Once booked, I will provide the meet location. Please be aware, if you need to change outfits, there is no private changing area at the outdoor site. If the weather isn’t on our side, the session will take place in-studio.
After Your Shoot
I aim to upload your proof images to your private online gallery within 24 hours of your session. Your gallery will typically include around 90 images, giving you plenty of options to choose from.
Once you’ve selected the six images you’d like edited, I’ll complete the edits and upload the final images to Dropbox within 7-10 working days (Monday-Friday). If you have an agent, feel free to share the gallery with them to get their input on which images to choose.
For a faster turnaround, I offer an express service for £50. With this option, your six edited images will be completed and delivered within two working days (Monday-Friday) of your selection. Payment for the express service can be made by bank transfer after the shoot or by card on the day of your session.

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
£50 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.
