Professional actor headshots are key to making a strong first impression, and I specialise in capturing natural, engaging portraits that help actors stand out. Whether you’re updating your portfolio or promoting yourself for new roles, I tailor each session to your individual needs, ensuring your headshots reflect your personality and versatility.

Outdoor sessions take place in Cardiff locations with good natural light and clean backgrounds, such as Cardiff Bay or Bute Park. Studio sessions are held in a Cardiff-based studio, and the hire fee is already included in the price.
-
Natural light sessions normally take 60 to 90 minutes. Studio sessions take 90 to 120 minutes to allow time for outfit changes, warm-up shots and a good range of expressions.
-
Simple, solid colours work best. Avoid bold patterns, logos and anything overly bright. Bring a few options that suit your casting type. Layers, such as jackets or shirts, help create different looks without needing a full outfit change.
-
Yes. Retouching is natural and subtle. I tidy skin, remove temporary blemishes and adjust colour and exposure so everything looks clean and professional. You will still look like yourself, just at your best. Anything requiring heavy Photoshop can be quoted separately

You will receive a private online gallery containing around 50 to 60 proofs. Your selected images are delivered in both high-resolution and web-optimised formats, ready for Spotlight, Mandy, Casting Networks and agents.
