Is your headshot image aligned to your purpose & does it showcase your brand values?

Inconsistent images across Social media/website?

Not updated your headshot for over 2 years?

Have you changed your appearance recently? 

Frustrated you’re not attracting the audience you want?

You’re having a new website built & need up-to-date & authentic images?

You’re a busy professional you don’t have the time to create them for yourself or team?

You have a fear of being in front of the camera, or you don’t like the way you look?

Are you using a holiday photo or using a Selfie for your portfolio image? 

AUTHENTIC
HEADSHOT

Your headshot photograph should be an authentic representation of who you are. It should be up to date and consistent across all your marketing materials and client touch-points.

IDENTITY
HEADSHOT

Your headshot should represent your personal brand so that you’re recognisable as the face of your business. You should be getting noticed and standing out from the competition.

CONNECTION
HEADSHOT

A professional headshot helps you build good connections with your ideal audience. It contributes to your clients getting to know, like and trust you. It’s the image of how you’re known in your industry.

You don’t have a lot of time to stand out & stay front-of-mind!

Studies have shown that most people will generally form an opinion about you within just a few seconds of seeing you for the first time. The ‘first impression’ they’ve formed will likely influence any interaction they have with you going forward.

“YOU NEVER GET A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION”

The purpose of a professional, current and on-brand headshot photograph is to deliver that great first impression to your audience.

COACHING

When you’re not used to having a professional portrait the nerves can sometimes kick in. I’d rather take a little longer with your headshots coaching you through your session removing fear and building your confidence to bring out your best of you.

FAQs Headshot photography​

The best way to learn more about a headshot session is to just give me a call for a no-obligation chat where I will be happy to answer any of your questions. In the meantime here are a few frequently asked questions to help you too.

As with a lot of photography services, it all depends on your needs. A headshot session can be as short as 20-30 minutes in the studio to a full day (personal brand headshot session) with multiple locations too.

For someone confident and just needs a few headshots for their social media profiles then a quick session in the studio would be plenty. However, for somebody looking for more variety and options with clothing, styles, lighting and crops then 1-2.5 hours would be a better option. I’d also recommend a longer session especially if you’re nervous and not used to being in front of the camera – This can allow for a bit more time for you to relax and I can help coach you through the session. It’s just as important to me that you enjoy the session as much as the results.

When you start getting into longer sessions then that it’s more about developing your brand, where more lifestyle, working shots and branded stock images are created alongside your headshots to create a “library of visual content” to use across all your marketing and brand touchpoints.

If I had a £1 every time I heard that, I’d be able to give up photography and retire!

Seriously though you’re not alone… I don’t mean you’re not photogenic of course! I just mean there are lots of people that ‘think’ they’re not! 

I’ve been photographing people professionally for over 11 years and I’ve seen and heard this all before.

Yet what I also know, as a business professional running my own business for over 11 years, is the impact and results in a good headshot will give you.

  • I provide you with information on what to wear and tips about how to look your best.
  • We can talk everything through before the shoot in your consultation.
  • I always spend the first part of the session just having a chat, helping you to relax and enjoy the process.
  • We take our time, regularly checking to see how you’re feeling and making sure you’re comfortable
  • I can even arrange & recommend makeup artists and hairstylists and even style experts too.
  • I always shoot way more photographs than you need – giving you more options to choose from.
  • Finally, it’s important to remember who the photographs are for… They are for your audience and how they see you.

The best thing, of course, is to just book a call with me and have a chat to see if I’m a good fit to be your photographer.

Airbrushing is a term used for the retouching of photographs before the digital age! Often associated with the ‘cover girl’ magazine whereby a model has been made to look thinner or the smoothing of the skin. Today retouching is more commonly done through computer software such as Photoshop.

I check and edit every photograph that you receive to ensure the highest possible quality. This may include:

  • Cropping or straightening the photograph
  • Correcting any colour imbalances
  • Conversions to/from colour and black & white photographs.
  • Adjustments to shadows & highlights
  •  If requested and wherever possible, I’ll also remove blemishes from close up portraits but keep them as naturally as possible.

Basic retouching doesn’t include manipulation of body shape or removal of permanent features. E.g. Tattoos, birthmarks, scars, etc. This would be charged as an extra service, however would be discussed and agreed upon prior to the shoot or any editing.

Yes of course! I work with a number of expert hair and makeup stylists and I can arrange these for you if requested.

I offer studio-based sessions at my headshot studio in Welling, Bexley Kent. With easy access to the A2, off-road parking and a short walk from rail & bus routes.

As well as the studio I provide location-based headshots or a combination of both depending on what your needs are.

I’ve portable studio and lighting equipment that’s very quick to set up if needed and all would be worked out and discussed with you during your consultation. 

The majority of my clients are based in London, Kent and the South East. However, I can and have travelled nationally if required.

In its simplest terms; you should wear what you are most comfortable in!

To be more accurate, it all depends on what you need and the purpose of your shoot.

Once you book a session I’ll provide you with a free guide on what to wear for your headshot, personal branding and portrait sessions. We also cover this as part of your consultation and planning stage. And although the guidelines are useful, it would still come down to your needs on an individual basis.

Everyone is different and has different requirements and in all cases, I’m here to help you be fully prepared and comfortable before we even start the photo session.

Yes. I’m also a Supporting Artiste (Extra for TV and film) so have first-hand experience working with those in the performing arts and understand the standards required for a great headshot – You can learn more in this Headshot article
