Hi, I’m John, your Portrait photographer Mobile:07710613934

Actors & Performers Premier Photographer for East Anglia

I've spent 30 years of my career producing high-end editorial lifestyle and portraiture for national newspapers and magazines. From Bowie, Beyonce to Prince, Pink, Michael Jackson to the Spice Girls and many others, I've been privileged to have travelled around the globe with my camera, and now bring this expertise and knowledge home to East Anglia & London

Actor Headshots That Get You Noticed

Every actor knows the truth: your portrait is your calling card. It’s the image that will be studied, judged, and compared before you ever step into the room.

My portraits are designed to do more than get you noticed—they tell your story, they hold a gaze, they leave a mark. This is why actors, performers, and creatives across the UK have trusted me to shape the first impression that matters most.

That’s why actors at every level work with me.

I have years of experience photographing high-end performers, from well-known actors and performers, to many others from film, TV and the music industry. I know exactly what casting agents respond to. My portraits are crafted to stop the scroll, spark interest, and create genuine opportunities.

This isn’t just a headshot photo shoot. This is your career image, built with precision, personality, and purpose.

I. Book the date.

First, we get to know each other on our free 20-minute call. We discuss your needs and plan your shoot, and what you'll need on the day. We'll also take payment for your session shoot on this call, or arrange for payment before your shoot.

II. Take photos.

Next, we spend 1 hour on your shoot day at your home or a location near you. You'll have the option of two to three changes of clothing. You can also bring your make-up artist if you wish.

III. Deliver your photos.

You can see a selection of the images straight after your shoot, but I prefer to send all my clients a digital portfolio so they can choose their favourites at their own pace.  Once you have selected your favourites, I will retouch them, and once your payment has been made, your photos will be ready to download via your digital portfolio.  

I can also be on hand to help with the selection if you so wish.
