Flexible pricing for acting headshots
If there's one thing that's certain about being an actor, it's the uncertainty of knowing where your next job is coming from! And when things are quiet, the last thing on your mind is spending money on new headshots.
But a current, high-quality headshot, that represents you as you really are, is the single-most important tool you've got to get noticed by Casting Directors and invited to do a self-tape or an in-person audition.
So, I've launched a flexible PAY-PER-IMAGE package that allows you to choose what's right for you - maybe you just need a quick update because you've changed your hairstyle or grown a beard.
We'll still shoot a variety of looks in the session, but if you decide you only want one image, that's absolutely fine - there's nothing more to pay.
Or if you know you need a broader range of looks, you can save a bit of money by choosing my ALL-INCLUSIVE package, with 5 fully retouched images included.

Different headshot photographers can work in very different ways. I’ve heard stories from my clients ranging from photographers who have directed them to act out the role of the character types they’re hoping to play, to those who remain silent throughout most of the shoot in the interests of allowing authentic emotion to emerge spontaneously.
There’s no right or wrong way, but I’m a firm believer, first and foremost, in creating a relaxed and fun environment in which my clients feel comfortable enough just to be themselves. Capturing your casting range is clearly important, but Casting Directors are also often just interested in seeing the ‘real you’.
I also believe in working highly collaboratively with my clients, offering clear guidance and posing tips throughout the session, but also sharing images throughout the session, ensuring everyone walks away with a selection of headshots they’re happy with.

“We have been sending our clients to David since day one and they unanimously come back with tales of the wonderful experience they have had, always a relaxing, fun experience. No boring pouty headshots, we always get personality and the essence of the actor captured. The quality is consistently high and we have never received a bad set of pics”
