A head shot or headshot is a modern (usually digital) portrait in which the focus is on the person. The term is applied usually for professional profile images on social media, images used on online dating profiles, the 'about us page' or a corporate website and promotional pictures of actors, models, and authors.
We are able to offer both Natural and studio lit commercial and theatrical headshots for actors, actresses, presenters and all types of performers and business professionals.

What's the difference between a Headshot and a Portrait ?
Whilst the terms are used interchangeably, there are differences. In the easiest of terms, a professional headshot is a type of portrait. A headshot is a tightly cropped photo of the face, from the shoulders up, with the subject 'camera aware' and looking right into the lens. A portrait is essentially any image where the subject is aware of the camera even if they are not looking directly at it.
What are the options?
Even though we can tailor all of our services, sometimes its easier to select an 'off the shelf' option.
We usually take between 100 and 400 images with a quick review is available during the studio session as we go along.
These are then uploaded to a private online gallery allowing you to then choose your final images. These are then edited ensuring we get the very best from each image selected, according to the purpose for which the image was taken. Your final images are then emailed across via a secure download link.
Packages available include black and white options, full colour, studio shoots or outside. We are able to amend or customise each of our services to ensure they are tailored to your needs wherever possible.
We pride ourselves not only on being able to help you choose what to wear, but also on how to pose to get the best results.
They say that an image speaks a thousand words, and when it comes to giving that right first impression - a fantastic headshot, speaks for itself.

can images be retouched or editted?
The simple answer is YES although the extent of our work is entirely dependent on both the subject and the purpose of your images.
Retouching may include:
Stray / Flying hair fixing, Eye bags removal, Skin spots, Acne, Scars, Mole removal, Teeth whitening, Eye enhancement, Removal of pimples and wrinkles, Body/Face reshaping, Skin smoothing
With all our images we undertake minor skin retouching, natural tone adjustment and colour correction. The general rule usually adopted is that if a blemish or imperfection will not be visible in six months, then we "fix it" during the edit
Are unretouched or uneditted images available?
We take our time ensuring our images meet the high standards and expectations of our clients, especially when our name is attached to it. Handing out unretouched images could potentially mean these are later edited in a style inconsistent or inferior to our own process, and as such we only provide edited work.
