HEADSHOTS FOR ACTORS
I SHOOT BOLD, MODERN HEADSHOTS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON CHARACTER AND CONNECTION. I VALUE ENERGY AND DRAMA.
I USE CINEMATIC LIGHT, DRAMATIC LOCATIONS AND A FILMIC GRADE FOR A HIGH VALUE TV/MOVIE PRODUCTION STILL LOOK.

MINI SESSION
Perfect for a change of look or to add something exciting to a portfolio.
30 minutes
1-2 Setups
1 retouched shot included*
This is something new. I noticed that often a favourite shot comes from right at the start of the session and it occurred to me that I could offer a very short session that would be great value for the right client. While I would be reticent to recommend this if you are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera or if you are not sure what look you are going for, this can be a fantastic choice in any of these cases:
- You have just had a change of hairstyle and need an up to date shot for Spotlight.
- Have a portfolio you are generally happy with but are looking for a more dramatic shot to get people’s attention.
- You are just starting out and are on a budget. I firmly believe that you are better off with one great shot than any number of mediocre ones.

STANDARD SESSION
(£200 concessions‡) My most popular session.
90 minutes
4-5 Setups
3 retouched shots included*
Suitable for actors at any stage of their career. Whether your focus is film and TV or theatre this will provide you with a strong and varied set of images to populate your Spotlight page.
£325
PORTFOLIO SESSION
(£300 concessions‡) A complete portfolio in a single session.
3 hours (approx.)
8-10 setups
6 retouched shots included*
Whether you are just starting out or simply looking for a change, this is a perfect way to build a complete portfolio. A hugely varied selection that can include editorial shots, cinematic production-still type looks and B/W portraits as well as a variety of hotshots representing different casting types.
£175 each
SHARED SESSION
Split a session with a friend for more variety and great value.
3 hours (approx.)
6-8 setups
3 retouched shot included each*
This is essentially the same as my Portfolio Session but with the time divided between two people. A considerable amount of the session time is taken with lighting adjustments, clothing changes, and moving between locations so by splitting a session between 2 people I can provide you with a more varied selection of images for less money.
Ideal for students (there is no further student discount, the price is already reduced) or friends/couples/siblings these shoots are usually really fun as well as being great value.
For the purpose of my booking system this will come up as a Portfolio session. Select 2 people and I will know what we are shooting.
*A link to view all the images via a private online gallery will be provided the same day. You are welcome to share this link with your agent/management or friends and family in order to help you pick your shots. I only allow public use of the completed retouched images. Additional retouched images can be purchased at a cost of £25 each or 3 for £60.
‡This discount is available not only for students but for any actor on a tight budget. I feel that it’s at least as financially tough being a working actor as it is a student so if you’d prefer to pay the concessions rate just let me know when booking and I won’t question it.
Some old, some new, some experiments. @alanhowardheadshots.
