Actors and head shots - why bother ?

Your image is your most important asset when selling yourself to producers and directors.
It is your primary marketing tool and you won't even get to a casting unless it is working for you.
Be it a drama or a commercial, the first thing the casting director will do is see if the "face fits".
If your picture doesn't look right you're not going to get the job.
Ensure that your image portrays the qualities you want to market.
Keep it up to date to reflect your look and style.

Many years experience in the broadcast and editorial industries has given me the skills necessary to capture the essential "you".
An individual session will normally last two hours and hopefully create a series of different "looks" to give you a choice of styles.
