Lara visited the Exeter Headshot Photography studio recently looking for some actor headshots. Recently I wrote about an unusual beauty dish that I'd bought and as Lara sat in front of the camera I thought, yes this is the time to try it again. So, the white background shots were all taken with [...]
Some photographers, and very successful ones too, have a great recipe that they use time and time again. At it's simplest this recipe might be "the subject sits on an apple box and is photographed whilst being lit by a shoot-through brolley." I don't mean to be dismissive, portraits are about engagement as [...]
Olivia visited the studio recently for some headshots. Fabulous! The light shots are lit with either the Bowens Sunlite/Supersoft combo or a white Bowens beauty dish with the Translum background. Pleased to again get a lovely result with the beauty dish, it's not my go-to modifier but worth working at. This darker shots [...]
I'm rather pleased that I detected the Canadian accent of Elicia when we first spoke, my nephew lives over there! Elicia spent some time in the Exeter headshot photography studio and we ended up with a good set of headshots for her to move forward with. Although the differences are subtle we ran [...]

Clearly most of my headshots are studio based and in the UK, change is good though? Natalie is an independent criminal law practice professional based in Berlin and we recently spent a bit of time together on Museum Island in Berlin. A couple of locations were chosen, the weather and light were suitable [...]
Martin is an experienced British actor who has taken guest roles on some of the UK's leading series, including: Little Bird, Dalziel and Pascoe, Judge John Deed and Emmerdale. He recently visited the studio to update his headshots for acting. The images were shot landscape leaving a wide range of cropping possibilities. Martin's [...]
When a young (read 'younger than me') person knows what I mean when I reference Abigail's Party I know we are going to get along OK. Morgan, a student at Exeter College, spent some time in the studio recently having come for some actor headshots. We shot with a couple of background looks [...]
So this was an interesting shoot! The plan had been to photograph Charlotte a week earlier, you know, when the weather was scorchio, but busy lives got in the way. The portrait is for an upcoming project, if I told you that my reference image was an inked man in a vest you'd [...]
