Manchester-based actress Béa González commission Manchester-based actress Béa González commissioned me to take two new headshots for her Spotlight profile. I love her strong and sophisticated look - ready to be featured in crime fiction set in 90s Germany. If you want to see a more girl-next-door look, just swipe left! Most of my actor clients are on Spotlight, a platform that connects performers with roles in theatre, television and film productions around the world. Casting professionals choose Spotlight to cast their projects because performers on Spotlight are recognised as the industry’s best. I offer headshot packages starting from £90, with a discount for student actors. Do get in touch for a free consultation!

Headshot of actor and director 🎭 David Furlong, Headshot of actor and director 🎭 David Furlong, taken by Rino Pucci 📸 Rino writes 🖊️: The eyes, the eyes... it's all about the eyes! When it comes to headshots, this is a bit of a weary mantra that photographers and performers continue to kid themselves with. Yes, eyes need to be visible and well-lit. Yes, eyes should look into the camera. Yes, it would be nice if there is a catchlight glimmering in the eye... BUT what really counts is how engaged and alive the whole face looks! The eye is just a hook to draw someone's attention – one might say that the muscles controlling the sitter's facial expressions play an even bigger role. So it's all about the heart. Or the mind. Or the soul. Or the energy. It doesn't matter what you call this attitude, you need to have it – you need to engage with the photographer and, ultimately, engage with the audience. For example, take this headshot of the actor and director David Furlong – a versatile and very experienced stage, screen and street performer (and also the artistic director and producer at the Exchange Theatre in London). His eyes are only the "punctum" that captures your attention, but it's his overall expression that gives the portrait strength and meaning.

Who said that headshots need to be taken in the st Who said that headshots need to be taken in the studio, with artificial light? Of course, taking headshots in nature takes us photographers out of our comfort zone. The background is not always "right". The light might be just too harsh. Having passers-by around doesn't really help. And yet sometimes leaving the studio to go outdoors is a rewarding decision. It opens one's mind – and one's lungs. It allows one to create something different, within the "grammar" of the headshot. All you need to bring is a reflector.
