I’m a professional headshot photographer and I’ve been photographing actors and performers since 2007. I went to drama school in the 90s and after graduation I signed with PFD (who became United Agents). I worked for a while in theatre and TV but soon decided I’m better off helping actors get castings instead of being limp competition for them. I’m a bit of a headshot geek if truth be told and I love working with actors.

As well as headshots I shoot production and publicity photographs for theatres. My photos have been seen outside theatres in the West End and all round the UK. I’ve been published in national broadsheets, glossy magazines and I’ve been featured in several professional photography magazines. 

How I work

My sessions are very relaxed but focussed. A stack ‘em high conveyor belt service this is not.

Each session starts with a cup of tea and a chat to give you a chance to settle in to the session and for me to find out where you are in your career and (crucially) where you want your career to go, what kind of actor you are and what you want your headshots to say. We’ll look at your tops, discuss hair and make up, make some choices then get to work.

I think a big part of making your headshots work is building a relationship between me and you. Casting directors, producers, agents and directors quite often will only see a headshot for a few seconds so it’s vital your headshot lifts of the page or screen – that you’re making eye contact with the viewer of the image – because these days a headshot has to be striking at thumbnail size. And that’s what I base my sessions around, engaging with you so you’re engaged in the photo. 

I work hard to make sure my sessions are fun. You can read what some previous clients have said about my work and sessions here.

Where I work

In the summer of 2014 I had my own studio built at my home in Enfield, north London, which offers us flexibility and a private customised space to work in.

If there’s anything more you’d like to know about my sessions give me a call or drop me an email and I’ll answer any questions you have.

The APHP

In 2016 a collection of the UK’s leading headshot photographers formed the Association of Professional Headshot Photographers, an organisation committed to promoting and upholding the highest quality in performers’ headshot photography. Strict criteria need to be met to become approved by the APHP and I’m proud to be a founder member of the association.
