About me

Actor headshots hold a special place in my heart - I’m also an actor myself and I've been taking photos of other actors since I first picked up a camera in early 2018. I'm constantly looking for new ways to adapt to fit actors' needs in an ever-changing industry. This doesn't just apply to the photos themselves, but to the whole process: From the first point of contact to the delivery of the final images, everything has been designed to be as seamless and stress-free as possible.

 

I strongly believe that actor headshots should be priced in a way that suits every actor. I offer a high-end, attentive and personalised service at a price-point which is significantly lower than the 'Industry Standard' rates, because without great headshots it’s near impossible to progress in the acting industry. Easily accessible top-quality headshots should be the standard, not a privilege hidden behind an ever-increasing paywall.

I'm regularly recommended by major agencies, and have been voted into Just Add Milk's 'Top 10 Headshot Photographers For Actors' for the last 3 consecutive years. 

 

Your shoot will take place in my comfortable, professional studio space in London, where I will guide you through every step of the way.

Packages and Pricing

I strongly believe that actor headshots should be priced in a way that suits every actor. I offer a high-end, attentive and personalised service at a rate which is significantly lower than the 'Industry Standard' rates, because without

headshots it’s near impossible to progress in the acting industry. That shouldn’t be a privilege hidden behind an ever-increasing paywall.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Your shoot will take place in my studio at Thames-Side Studios in South-East London. Once you've booked you'll receive detailed directions, a google pin link and a site map for where to meet me on the day. 

  • Yes! The site my Studio is located at has three free car parks, which are marked on the map you'll receive in the confirmation email.

  • You'll always receive your online gallery on the same day of the shoot.

  • None of my headshot sessions have a limit on outfit changes. Bring as many as you'd like and we'll likely use a good amount of them within the timeframe of the shoot. 

  • Too many outfits is always better than not enough, so if in doubt, bring loads! If you're limited on bag space, 6 or 7 options is usually a good number. 

  • You always have 2 years of access to your online gallery, and can select your photos at any point in those 2 years, directly through the gallery.

  • It depends on which package you book. With the Pay-Per-Photo system, the photos are always £43, and with the Full Package or Unlimited Package, additional edits cost £15 each. 

  • On a Full Package or Unlimited Package shoot I'll happily do full-length or portfolio shots! Here's some examples below:

    Portfolio shots for Dancers and Models:

    Portraits for Websites and Social Media

    Full-length or three-quarter portraits for casting purposes

  • Of course you can! I can shoot in pretty much any visual look in my studio, so whether it's Portraits, Portfolio Shots or Headshots, just send me an email via contact@photographybymattjones.co.uk with your mood-board, and we can go from there! I can also set a shared mood-board up for you if you'd like, just let me know!

  • Absolutely! I have enough chairs to go around, and they can even be in charge of the music if you like! Just make sure you choose someone who's presence will still allow you to focus on your shoot. There's also a selection of nice cafe's on site, so if they don't want to stay in the studio the whole time, they can go 

Based in London.
