On your side

Actor headshots hold a special place in my heart - I've been taking photos of actors since I first picked up a camera, and 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 bypass any stress or confusion that you might encounter elsewhere.

 

There are a lot of differing opinions on what's right or wrong in an actor headshot. So many that they all start contradicting each other and suddenly you're back at square one. The great thing about it is that if everyone's opinion is correct, then no one's opinion is correct, so the only factor that matters is what kind of photos you think will be the most effective.

Headshots are all about personality, and your personality shows through in your choices. Go with your gut, and you can't go wrong.

If your gut feeling is that my style of headshots would suit you best, then great - You're in the right place!

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.

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
