⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just a few recent 5-star reviews I thought were worth sharing :)

Have I provided you with headshots, showreels or self-tapes, but you're yet to leave a review? I always appreciate every single review that comes my way. It helps with online search results, but also helps me build a good reputation in the industry as someone to trust with ultimately an actor's next career step.

Thank you.

NEW IDEA - I wanted to share it before I start promoting anything.

You know how self-tapes are roughly 45-90 seconds? And some CDs say to put a self-tape on your Spotlight to showcase a character that's not on your profile/showreel at the moment....

I want to offer showreel scenes at that same length as this, properly shot on a relevant location, but designed from the start to be just that clip.

Essentially, no filming a full scene and cutting it down. You get a polished, showreel-ready clip with a much quicker turnaround.

It's a self-tape, but on location :)

The catch is I'd likely need to batch these, either running dedicated days with multiple actors, or you'd book a minimum of three scenes in one go.

The slight downside (if any) to this, is that you've got a very minimal window in which to create a character - but the caveat to this point is that you'd only get this timescale/time limit on a self-tape anyway, so it's something that generates something quick, but also something professional for your Spotlight if you don't want to add them into your existing showreel just yet.

Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?

Had the wonderfully grounded and very talented young man, Max, in the studio for his first ever headshots this afternoon.

We got a really great range of some brilliant headshots.

I shot a couple of showreel scenes for Max last week, as well, so keep your eyes peeled for any content I receive permission to post.

“Just Say It, Shot 4, Max, Medium Shot, Take 2”

Showreel filming yesterday for two youths who attend the True Talent Theatre School (with two amazing adult actors filling in a couple of roles as well). These kids were so good! Was a real pleasure shooting their new scenes for them.

Something a little different on the feed today!

I recently had the opportunity to spend a trial day with Brook Taverner - the iconic British tailoring brand - shooting product and lifestyle imagery for their collection.

It was a fantastic experience working with such beautifully crafted pieces, and I thoroughly enjoyed bringing their garments to life through the lens. This experience has really inspired me to push further into this style of commercial and product photography, and I'm excited to work with more businesses like Brook Taverner.

If you're a brand looking for a photographer to elevate your product and website imagery, I'd love to hear from you!

Here's a selection of shots from the day, which I have also edited - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Little bit of market research!

This ISN'T live (yet), but I would like to reach out to you guys and ask who would be interested in this if it was to be put in place?

- What intrigues you about this?
- What puts you off?
- Would you change anything?
- Is it value for your money and time?

This offer/event will essentially be aimed at those who want a quick 'in and out' headshot session without the pressure of a session fee and/or a full, standard one-on-one shoot. As well as those who are on a budget.

The day will consist of you (and other actors) turning up for your allocated timeslot, and sitting for 30 minutes with one or two light setups and clothing changes, to get the best headshots we can in that time.

You will choose 3 final options (on the day) and receive them as retouched final edits (within 72 hours). The price of £100 is around £33.33 per headshot (a saving on my usual £45.00 per headshot on standard headshot sessions).

I would love to hear your true thoughts on this. Good idea? Murky waters? You tell me :)

Thank you :)
